I see and understand what happened. But I dont understand what happened hahaha.
3/16 from 3, no assists by SGA, same TOs, same amount of shots... and OKC wins... probably the FTs count - Indy should have been shooting 38, and OKC 33 as they were the home team, but all in all a very good series, I kinda think OKC will go up home, then we'll have a(n other) Foster game where they kill OKC so we can go to game 7.
Still rooting for Indy, but they have to be shaking their heads after this game... if they make 1-2 more shots at the right time they got this and the series as well

This finals matchup is amazing. One of the most fun ones to watch in years. Every year I pull for Indiana in the east and a new team, smaller market team, etc, in the west (if not the Suns), but it never happens...it's always the same old GS/SA/LAL with a DEN and a few DAL appearances in there, at least back to the 90s or so when you had Seattle, Utah, Portland, us, Houston, etc.

And the east has always been Boston, MIami or Cleveland (with LeBron), except the one Toronto year (which was great) and one MIlwaukee year.

It's almost hard to believe we have this finals matchup, and of course it's one of the best finals matchups I remember. So intense.

It's amazing how much better these teams look than us.

Carlisle always been one of the most underrated coaches. Built the Pistons team with previous nobodies in Billups, Hamilton, Prince, Ben Wallace, got them to the ECF and for some reason got fired, and Larry Brown got handed a hard nosed team built by Carlisle, gifted Rasheed for nothing, who was then their best player and they win it all. Carlisle got screwed. Had he gotten Rasheed he would have won.

Then went to Indy and built a great team that could beat the Pistions, with O"Neal, Artest, Jackson, Miller, etc, but the Malice in the Palace happened, so again, he kind of got screweed.

Then won it all with that Mavs team that were underdogs for like 3 rounds.

Now has this Pacers team playing such GREAT ball. He's a top 5 coach for sure along with Udoka, Daigneaut, Spo and Atkinson. Probably forgetting someone, but those are the 5 that stand out right now.

Man - Thunder take the dumbest shots, and make the worst decisions in the 4th.

The NBA is rigged they are rigging this series for the Thunder. It’s pretty obvious not my fault you’re too blind of see it. So many phantom fouls against the Pacers it’s very pathetic. You can’t even play defense without a foul being called every 30 seconds on Indiana. But enjoy your finals win not sure why ur even supporting OKC as a Suns fan.

Indi fans are going to have nightmares about the 4th quarter of game 4. Felt like that was their shot.
Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming Wow! What a Ride!-H.S.T.

One positive of OKC winning a title is our :clown: owner may start valuing draft picks more.

Wah wah wah ! Dude it’s not rigged . You truly think Carmelo, Barkley, and some of these stars that are competitive would allow them to rig a series and put them as a loser !

Guess I’m blind , but I am 100% real. As a former college athlete, I’m not throwing a game to let another team win when it’s my chance !

They’re already heroes in my book even if they were swept. What they’re doing in this postseason is unprecedented! Them making the finals without a top 20 player on their team is super difficult to accomplish yet here we are. I hope they’re ready to kick azz for game 7.

Is Scott Foster really going to ref game 7? If so, that is quite disappointing as I believe the game 5 he did ref there was 7 more fouls called in that game than the average of the first 4 games.
