It appears the NBA has leaked the script. OKC already has their 2025 Championship buses painted and ready to go for the parade.

I understand what Rick was saying but honestly seems like a distraction to me - I hope he doesn't spend for than 5 seconds talking about that for the team because effort is already maximized for this Pacers team. Painting buses is irrelevant to the gameplan. They just have to maintain disciplined defense and avoid silly fouls - Must stay locked in for that.

I don't think it's hate. It's a game 7 and both teams have been pretty even, so at that point it's just who you like more. Judging by the cockiness about the voting on your/thunder fans end, maybe that's why some people are going for Indy :lol:
We won 68 games and had an all time great season but aren't getting the respect we deserve. It's not cockiness just annoying more than anything. This franchise and fanbase has done nothing to deserve the hate they're getting.


You are getting plenty of respect, imo. Most people consider this year's Thunder an ATG team and it's without a doubt an ATG defense. Pacers fans and media have also consistently praised your team and generally picked you to beat us.

Sure, some of the more trolly posters here will talk some **** but that's what they always do to favorites.

Pacers likely have this too, it’s called preparation.

But good last chance to motivate his team a bit.

Well they should be the favorite, but the Pacers have been beating the odds all season. This is the last game of the year.

I hope the Pacers play their game and don't get run out of the gym. I don't think they will it's gonna be a close game 112-108. My guess Pacers win.

Well shirts and hats are things the league has ready and I'm sure that most teams have open air buses ready for potential parades. But to paint them, and to do it before the game has even been played is cocky as hell.

Exciting and rewarding still as a neutral fan of NBA , I still remember the shock of Cavs pulling it off, that **** was electric. Hope it goes down to the wire. Let's goooo
