There is good news. Isaiah Joe once again dragged the team kicking and screaming to a winning scoreboard performance while on the court. He is the only player that has refused to lose the scoreboard in any game in the finals. Give Joe some run in game 7!

Still too early for good news.

My only good news is that there’s no game 8 .

I'm officially rooting for 7 OTs in game 7.

I have seen enough sports in my life to know who usually win in these situations.

gonna need the crowd to be on fire even if it's a close game or if we are behind. Crowd was great in game 5 before Pacers comeback

Home team has won game seven 15 out of the previous 19 times the finals have gone the distance. I'm pinning all my hopes on that fact, because after last night there's nothing basketball related to grasp at.

I might complain about him after sunday game but JDub showed up yesterday. Only guy that started the game focused and playing smart. Rest of the team was trash so it didn't matter.

Caruso played terrible last two games. He was elite game 4 and didn't think he was gonna replicate it but still thought he would be more consistent with his experience.

Cason is terrible in these finals. Pressure, bad match up, no clue. Future is bright for him but odds of him making a good impact in game 7 are not good.

My Chet monster game prediction was...not great

Thunder is so much better at home but my problem is that we got outplayed in almost every game since game 3. Needed some Shai magic in game 4 and JDub 40 points game in game 5 to win but those games were almost 50/50 and the other two Indiana was way better. Sure Shai can show an MVP performance again but less likely in a game 7. Feeling is that we are lucky we got one win on the road but it was stupid to lose game 1 in a terrible way.

I'm seriously considering becoming an Hornets fan. I was having more fun in 2021 than I have right now and my health can't deal with that stuff.

The time to complain about the Presti approach was last off-season and trade deadline. That was when trading picks to improve championship odds were a possibility. Now you just have to watch the team play a game 7 at home and see if they continue to win every must win game they face.

Yesterday I learned some statistics. Since 1980 every game 7 was very tight, there were no blowouts or comfortable leads 5 or 2 minutes before end.
6 times home team has won a game 7, and only Cleveland Cavaliers 2016. won it as a road team.

I would be very concerned if this game is wide open 2 minutes before end. Our half court offense is shaky, I really hope we're going to be first team that won game 7 comfortably.
