OKCEAL Team Six Hunts Down The Haliban! | Official Thunder (#1) vs. Pacers (#4) 2025 NBA Finals Thread

[The God Poster]

Did that not happen to the Knicks against Boston?

In the first two games? On top of that Boston defense was nowhere near as stifling as OKC

Tony Brothers and James Capers the refs.

Pacers win game 3 meaning game 4 is the spot for Thunder to win go home 2-2.

Wouldn't surprise me if it ends up an '01 Sixers/Lakers type series. Sixers actually hung in there for several of those games (not that 10-point Ls as opposed to 25 point blowouts is a worthwhile moral victory) but it was just clear the talent gap couldn't be overcome once LAL "woke up" from the game 1 shocker. I could see similar for the next 3 games in this series.

That series was closer than people remember. Like even game 2 with Kobe/Shaq playing well was close down the stretch the Sixers fukked up their free throws.

Game 3 the lakers were up 1 with 47 seconds remaining before the Classic Horry 3

The Pacers did what they had to do

They stole game 1

Home court shouldn't factor in either team. They're finalists. This is the championship, and BOTH teams have won road games before. This "stealing" a game when both teams have reached this far shouldn't play in. What should play in is how comfortable or loose the Pacers are going to play in Indiana, because as of right now, OKC has dominated the majority of this series. Out of 96 game time minutes, Pacers only had a lead for a total of TWO MINUTES out of 96 and 95.7 of those two minutes was from Game 2!

The Pacer has to bring it at home or it's over.

Especially Siakam....he really has the Finals experience

So has Caruso.

 

[BK The Great]

OKC probably gonna take this now

 

[gluvnast]

i saw a play where caruso was in the left corner, they made 3 passes, then passed it to caruso who was in the right corner and splashed that shyt

don't even know how this mf got here. some Prestige shyt forreal

I know exactly the play you're referring. SGA had the ball and he 1st DIRECTED Caruso to move. It was an actual set play, but SGA is so much a magnet of attention, the defense was too focused on him rather than how to defend the whole team on the floor.

Facts, they put up a better fight throughout the series than anyone else the Lakers played that postseason, but people only remember G1
