2025 NBA FINALS: #1 Oklahoma City Thunder vs #4 Indiana Pacers (Series tied 2-2)

[kwajo]

Pascal definitely getting finals mvp if the Pacers win the chip. Being a legacy defining playoff and finals run for Spicy Run (I can't remember how important he was for the Raptors in their championship season)

He scored 19 ppg in the playoffs and was defending at a high level, I'd say he was pretty instrumental in the 2019 run even if it was mostly off of energy and hustle plays more than the skilled game he has now.

Holmgren always looking so awkward out there. Take 5 inches off his height and dude would be flipping burgers.

Does everyone in Canada know each other seems like all the Canadian players do

That's what Americans think

I am Aussie but I get the strong feeling that ESPN especially are very condescending.and patronising to Canadian Hoops Fans and players.

How is that not a push off from sGA?

What Iverson was for carrying Sga has become for pushoffs. Prolly could trace it back to Harden but its been called less and less. Alot of stars use it now wont be long before its where carrying is now and just ignored completely

Prime Harden was just as notorious for flopping. Any time he took one step inside the three point line, his head would instantly flop back like he got punched in the face by an invisible man.

Lol at people complaining about Lukas defense and then you see SGA.

It's so bad. Like legit awful (at least in this series). Dude gets blown by, swipes and then jogs. Irks the sh#% outta me.

His defense is just Skinny Luka atm

Anyone hear that? YOURE CHEATING!!?

Loud and clear. I thought it was someone outside my window. These surround sound speakers are scary.

I thought it was my wife in the next room

What is up with Turner's shot? He shot so well from 3 all playoffs but he can't seem to buy one the last couple games of the Finals.

Don’t see anything egregiously bad about the officiating tonight. It’s an excellent game

[PushDaRock]

Chet not being able to hit 3's for the playoffs and this series especially so far has made things harder for everyone.

[therealbig3]

Man SGA’s defense has been bad this series. Just a traffic cone out there, constantly reaching because he’s not staying in front of anyone.

Holmgren always looking so awkward out there. Take 5 inches off his height and dude would be flipping burgers.

That could be said for most players probably.

They were telling us he was a better defender than Giannis during the season.

[Nuntius]

Turner has not been good the last few minutes.

He's been put in an awkward spot with this lineup where he has to create more than he usually does. TJ is the only shot creator in this lineup (with Hali, Siakam, Nembhard and Mathurin all on the bench) so if TJ's creation doesn't work, Myles has to do it and that's not his game.

[bovice]

if OKC loses how can you enter the off season without thinking about blowing it up. Wallace Chet and Jalen need to go

[Mk0]

The officiating just needs to be consistent. If SGA is drawing tic-tac fouls, Pacers should be allowed to get tic-tac fouls.

Call the same game. Especially for the home team

That isn't Scott's job. We know how he rolls.

[SA37]

McConnell is literally the only Pacer that can get to the bucket. Everyone else starts turning around and jumping in the air to pass.

I love that OKC has used its bench more and continued to be ultra aggressive.

[MrPainfulTruth]

I predicted the league would help OKC. They are the chosen and scripted champions. Pacers will have to blow them out in order to have a chance 5 on 8.

Loud and clear. I thought it was someone outside my window. These surround sound speakers are scary.

I thought it was my wife in the next room

I'd be freaked the hell out if I thought my wife was yelling "you're cheating" at me from another room.

Where is bird?? Is there still bad blood? That’s a shame
