2025 NBA FINALS: #1 Oklahoma City Thunder vs #4 Indiana Pacers (Series tied 3-3, Game 7 Sunday!)

[Bank Shot]

ESPN analytics has this as a 60/40 game. That's a much higher number for the Pacers than I expected.

[Jailblazers7]

I definitely wouldn’t bet against this Pacers team in a game 7. Especially after seeing OKC look shook in game 6.

Man it’s minutes away , I’m nervous

[Jailblazers7]

I feel like the Pacers being 60/40 in the thread pool means they lose tho. Feels like the fan polling has been wrong every single game this series.

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

Read on Twitter

isn't this pretty much the same as having hats and jerseys ready?? which obviously the pacers have as well?

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.

I think it's just a vinyl wrap, which does take a bit of time to do....if they lose they'll just pull the vinyl wrap off....it's not a huge cost to OKC. Maybe 10k per bus, and then a bit more to remove. 50-100k loss at most. Probably a tax write off as well.

Enjoy this game gents...............if were headed for World War 3 this might be the last Nba game in a while

[holdenwait]

The players heart rates must be thru the roof right now holy moly

[Diop]

I thought was a zombie from the walking dead, didn't realize they could sing

[Mr. Perfect]

That was worse than Fergie. What's up with all that plastic surgery too

[MrBigShot]

Rooting for Indy. They have some of the classiest fans on this board and play such a cohesive, unselfish brand of basketball

[Nuntius]

Quick final thoughts:

As I said at the start of the series, the turnover battle will be crucial. If we manage to keep our turnovers low then we have a shot. Won't be easy against OKC's defense, of course.

Hali isn't quite 100% which is why we didn't have him run as many PnRs and handle the ball as much as he usually does. So, look at Andrew Nembhard handling the ball and running our offense moe.

Nembhard will be the key to tonight's game for us, imo. We really need him to get us into our offense and we also need his defense against SGA.

It won't be easy but let's **** go Pacers. For Matt Dial!

That's truly the worst rendition of the Star Spangled Banner I have ever heard

Just awful, singer sounded like she swallowed a frog or something lol

[MoneyTalks41890]

Not a fan of just booing every opposing player

[holdenwait]

Ok that was an impressive stretch of high notes there

Game 7 finals block record to be broken tonight , book it!!! (5)

LFG!!!

Haven't been this hyped for a (non-magic) game in a while!

I definitely wouldn’t bet against this Pacers team in a game 7. Especially after seeing OKC look shook in game 6.

That's mostly people just choosing who they want to win, not who they think is actually going to win. If you were to put a gun to their heads and ask them the same question, the majority of these pollers would choose OKC. They're the home team, they're MUCH better at home, Pacers are significantly worse on the road, home teams typically win Game 7's, OKC has the best player in the series, etc. Everything points to OKC winning and I think the majority of NBA fans who aren't casuals know this.

[Blame Rasho]

I fully expect a blowout or a tight game… nothing inbetween

[thelead]

Had OKC in 5, then in 6... might as well keep at it. I have OKC in 7.

[10DayContract]

It was an honor posting with you all this season. Cheers to Game 7.

The fast start for Pacers is important. Avoid the 5-minute meltdown.
