NBA Games Discussion Thread - Part 6

This gesture was an open invitation for karma to pay a visit, and he is also getting an MRI for a calf strain, the Pacers are done.

Reggie Miller homage? In all likelihood, Pacers are done. Maybe the Thunder's relative youth allowed the Pacers to get as far as they did, but the end of game five looked like a well-rounded 68-win championship team with two great players. OKC could be in Finals for years to come, especially if they land a third top player.

Whether the Pacers are "done" or not, this has been an incredibly great series.

Yessir. I've enjoyed every game, start to finish.

I've been struck by seeing Siakem listed at only 6-8.
Especially when I hear Wiz media people hint that
KyGeo is that size. I'd be interested in seeing a sidexside
of those 2 guys. Of course raw height isn't the only
factor in how big someone plays.

At the combine siakam (age 22) measured 6'8.25 without shoes with a standing reach of 8'11.

Kyshawn measured 6'7 with a standing reach of 8'9. We've seen talk about him growing since then.

Hali is playing after all , Game 7 here we come. If you're OKC, who are you taking at 15, they still haven't locked this down talent wise.

[montestewart]

What a beat down!

[dobrojim]

Watching in time delay, end of 3Q. OKC can't hit 3s.
And IND is not turning it over.

Question is will there be an OKC hangover?

I dismissed Obi Toppin back in his Nix daze.
He's been pretty good in my eyes in the Finals.
But TJ Mc might be their MVP. Of course they've
gotten contributions from everyone.

[nate33]

If Indy manages to win the series, who gets MVP? Siakam? McConnell? Nembhart?

I guess Siakam.

[9 and 20]

Definitely was not expecting a blowout. Looking at the box score - Jalen Williams clocks in with a -40. Indy laid down some severe skippity paps.

[dobrojim]

If Indy can protect the ball, limit their
TOs, it seems clear they are the better
shooting team and would have a great
chance of winning. Win the possession battle,
win the game and the Chip.

As others have said, it's been a really good Finals.

Thomas Bryant for MVP after he drops 40 on 18-22 FGs in gm 7.

OKC losing the mental game also, as a group they just completely collapsed very early, missing those shot became contagious

[Rafael122]

I think I said this already but I'd like to see OKC lose just to see if there is any chaos that follows. Like trading Chet and all the picks for Giannis type of chaos.

As someone who lived in seattle for a while, and went to SuperSonics games, I have the highest level of sports hate for OKC thunder and Clay Bennett. I hope nothing but the utmost forms of bitter failure for that franchise.

[payitforward]

Don't waste your hate. Save it for a target that both deserves it & doesn't involve a bunch of guys -- the players -- who don't.
Just my $.02

[dobrojim]

I wouldn't say it consumes me, or I hope it doesn't, but
I can't help but be reminded of my beloved BALT Colts.

The thing that sticks in my head was a bumper sticker
I saw on car in Baltimore circa this time said

I speed up for Robert Irsay

I've agreed that owners can do what they want but
the team name should belong to the city. At least
OKC didn't take the name with them.

[AFM]

Welp. That’s game.

Just horrible.

[NatP4]
