2025 NBA Finals

Turner looked pretty old last night …

He had two great consecutive blocks on Holmgren that really energized the Pacers those last few minutes. I'd be happy to sign him, but it's not going to happen.

Agreed. He came up big on those blocks!

I picked the pacers from the beginning; of all the key players from both teams, Carslile and Siakam have success winning a championship as the underdog, Carslile teams consistently over achieve.

Happy 26yr anniversary guys

OKC getting the calls, but still down.

OKC getting the calls, but still down.

OKC 2-14 from deep at the moment hard to win shooting 14% from three. They'll have to either stop shooting them or make at least a 3rd of the ones they take in the 4th to have a decent chance at a win tonight.

[bstein14]

Also, its the 4th quarter how does OKC only have 8 assists as a team. That seems like horrible offense and horrible ball movement.

[Cowology]

I picked Indy, but this felt like a must win. Go up 3-1 and good chance to close it out at home in 6, but allow OKC to even it up and now you have to go win in their building after they stole momentum. That's tough. We'll see.

[MortSahlfan]

If I had to guess, I'd say OKC wins the title. But I'd use whoever wins Game 5 as the determinant.
Lots of bad calls that went OKC's way, but Indy threw it away at the end.

[bstein14]

OKC should be pretty heavy favorites again with HCA back. I think right now its like 75% chance OKC wins the title and maybe 25% chance Indy pulls it off. Really feel like Indy needs to take game 5 or the series is over.

[MortSahlfan]

HCA?

Smart move to put in TJ in early

[Cowology]

I dunno... I could still see the Pacers take G6 at home. They've been resilient and I expect Carlisle will have them ready to play.

I could also see the wheels completely falling off if the Thunder jump out to an early lead. I dunno what going on with Hali, but win or lose it feels like he *needs* to have a big bounce back game.

Probably goes 7 but OKC has this

[tmorgan]

Dunno if it’s an ‘excuse” calf strain or a real one, but trouble for Hali and the Pacers either way.

Getting an MRI must mean it's serious
It's a shame. They're done for without him i think.

[MortSahlfan]

Don't want the season to end. Hope Indiana can pull it off tomorrow night.

[Crymson]

I think OKC is just the better team and that they've played to below their usual standard in this series.

[MotownMadness]

Indy looking good tonight
