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

[jigga_man]

OKC just needs to flop their way back to the lead

[ibraheim718]

Wait, Achilles, not calf? Was Durant's initial injury in 2019 also a calf before it became an Achilles?. Playing through injuries rarely seems to actually work out.

Was the calf strain on the right leg? Wouldn't surprise me.. those muscles and ligaments are all connected.

[Chuck Everett]

9 total missed free throws in the first half by both teams. Who will make their free throws in the second half?

[HeatIn5]

The Hali injury puts that much more pressure on OKC. They're playing so tight.

Pacers have no expectations. They can play more freely and it's showing.

Oh and that Dort flop was despicable.

Pacers been playing freely since game 1 against Milwaukee. Fun to watch

[Rainwater]

We are all Ind fans for the night

[Ice Trae]

Will make for a great documentary down the line if IND is able to pull this off

[NYPiston]

As a Pistons fan that despised the Pacers all season, I'm now rooting hard for them with Hali down.

[marson]

Cmon Pacers, pull off the miracle

Bro your profile pic

That's our franchise GOAT

If the Pacers win this game, this is the type of game you talk about forever and pass down. Like the Red Sox coming back 3-0 to beat the Yankees or the Cubs coming back from 3-1 to break the curse in extra innings.

[Mk0]

Truth be told, the Pacers ball movement becomes even more dangerous when Hali is out because you don't know where that shot is coming from.

With OKC they have literally two guys shooting.

OKC is all drive and kick. Which is fine if your shooters are hitting their shots but Daigneault needs to mix up their offensive sets in the second half. Calling their offense stale is a compliment rn.

Im pulling for OKC to tilt the odds

[QMemphis]

Tyrese about to give the Halftime Speech of a Lifetime.

[Karate Diop]

P-Town really has my respect, battling the loss of their leader, the refs and OKC and managing to be up 1 at the half? Hard not to root for them.

[GameOver25]

Man Carlisle jumping Jalen Williams on switches is a defensive masterclass. Williams has been totally ineffective. He can't attack the basket with his straight line drives.

[KO7]

Man Indy deserves all the praise
Best player goes out but they can still compete because they're a real team, not overly reliant on anyone.

Ethical hoops too. I’m so sick of the lopsided officiating.

[at87on]

The Pacers were all discombobulated in the 2nd Q after the injury, but their defence kept them in it.

I'm expecting some adjustments at half time. Turner, Toppin and Mathurin need to be stop being useless in the 2nd half.

Pacers are winning this game with Haliburton. OKC’s offense is shaky.

Haliburton is a great player, but Indiana is so deep, they struggle to find Jarace Walker minutes. It also helps they have two other point guards on their roster in Nembhard and McConnell.

Myles Turner needs to snap out of his shooting funk ASAP.

[Dubnation]

Ok Pacers it’s still in this game at the halftime

That in itself is noteworthy.

[Nuntius]

Wait, Achilles, not calf? Was Durant's initial injury in 2019 also a calf before it became an Achilles?. Playing through injuries rarely seems to actually work out.

A calf strain puts pressure on the Achilles which makes the Achilles more likely to rupture since the calf is its supporting muscle.

I will also say this:

There were a couple of posters that were accusing Haliburton of faking the injury. I won't name them but they know who they are. So, all I have to ask these few people is this:

Are you happy now?
