I didn't pay the most attention, but that seemed mild from the 1 replay I saw

James Johnson truly the GOAT for getting ejected in mere seconds of game play.

Cocked it back and banged on 'em.

That would be crazy. He came in to the league as Usain Bolt just running like a cheetah then turned him self into the ECF MVP crazy.

OKC fans loudness and being into the game doesn’t come close to this Pacers fans

I’m sorry but they don’t , OKC have prob 3 rd worse atmosphere in their arena maybe just a tad better than Bucks and Heat


Are you trolling or do you actually think that


It’s not trolling, OKC games are dull dark , way worse atmosphere than anything Pacers offers

When this series started, I stated that I had a slight preference for Pacers over Thunder, but most of all I wanted it to go seven. I am grateful we get a game seven in the finals among two teams that are not fixtures among the NBA playoff scene. Thank you, basketball gods.
