Imagine the stress levels of Thunder or Pacers fan

As a Bulls fan not that I have to worry about it anytime soon :banghead:

I can’t imagine being a fan a team in the finals game 7

I would age at minimum 30 years LEADING UP to the game

Especially since neither team is really a favorite to get back to the Finals.

Good to be a Laker fan and just enjoying it all, y'all gave us crap for the first round exit lols, imagine if this was Lakers in the game 7 right now.

Best kind of stress ever for a fan if your team is in the finals.

Game 7 of the Finals. Most fanbases will never get to experience that feeling but lemme tell you, nothing else like it.

Who would you consider to be the favorites over the Thunder to get back in the West next year? Same question for the Pacers?

90s Bulls steamrolled everyone. There was never any doubt they would win the title every year. And for the rest of their history, they've just been a G-League team with no expectations placed on them.

IMO they both start next season as favorites in their conferences barring a major league shakeup, which is possible.

It has been an enjoyable but also excruciating playoff run.

Most of them won’t even watch the game because they’re too nervous. They will find out the result Monday morning

Before game 7 of the 2010 finals, I told myself if the Lakers lost I was gonna quit my job, disconnect from technology and go travel the world as a nomad.

I don't think I would have actually done it, but that's where I was.

This year feels a bit different. Its nice.

Butterfly effect. You’d be living in a small village in Tahiti if they lost. Crazy

I'm honestly not stressed. Confident in our guys to get it done.

Nah, imagine the pain if someone hits a game winner coming back from however many points down.

Thunder can definitely get back here next year. Nobody in the west outside of the nuggets can really compete with them in a 7 game series.

We don’t have to imagine. Just ask the half dozen of them that post on RealGM.
