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

Shaq the worst dude on Turner's roster yet he never misses a studio show, I don't want to hear dude on these NBATV postgame shows

Shaq never has any good insight. His only worth is being comedy relief. I'd rather have Kenny being on all of the shows

 

[Dillah810]

He’s clearly overthinking- Rick won the mental battle before the series even started

Pacers doing the lords work getting these fu fu ass hacks and floppers outta here

Ethical basketball

fukk Stephen A. I get so tired of his basic repetitive talking points that really have no substance:
"OKC are like pirahnaas on defense, trust me seeing them in person"
"They will snatch your heart right out of chest"
"I'm looking at Halliburton, like what you go do"

" I get all that, they shooting something like 47. 6% from field but this is basketball and sometimes it's like 1 on 1 in park"

fukk dude, when he and others have to actually watch the sport and talk about basketball, and not have big names and hot takes they are extremely shytty..

He won't ever come out and admit it, but a big part of his hangup with Haliburton is that he's a pass first PG. Fact remains that 15 assists isn’t as sexy as 35 points to most fans & media. Bean is my favorite athlete of all time but everyone won't control the game through their scoring prowess. Haliburton's gift is with his IQ & court vision.

It's more difficult to discuss how he controls a game being an actual pass first point guard in a league that prioritizes PPG or triple doubles as the metrics that quantify how effective you are at dominating, so he opts to downplay him and focus on what he doesn't do. Man has had a historic clutch run that we haven't seen since the NBA's inception but he's talking about wanting to see bro call out ISO's at the top of the key in order to prove to him that he's a superstar.

Their window is almost over you forget they gotta pay Chet and Jalen Williams soon and SGA just got eligible for the supermax . Also the spurs are on the way rockets are on the way Dallas is on the way like you got the window RIGHT NOW. Make the move to win or don't win at all

They won’t make the same mistake twice, they’ll pay all 3. I do think it’s super ironic how this cba was made to create this fake parity and give small market teams a chance but it might end up fukking those teams over in the long run

Thunder in five is dead now they saying Thunder in 6. The casuals said this series would go 5 games max. As this series progresses more it favors Pacers with the coaching advantage and being battle tested.

Pacers gonna go up 3-1 and they'll hoist the trophy game 6...they prob fukk off game 5 and get blown out...if Pacers don't win game 4 they're losing this series

Too many guards. Even for Williams, Dort, and Caruso.

We've seen a similar klutch run with Kawhi in Toronto

 

[Astroslik]

This Pacers team reminds me of 2004 Pistons/2014 Spurs. No superstars (yet) just stars and a bunch of hoopers

 

[Astroslik]

What a fukking dirtbag

He's a piece of shyt dirty player. He was basically tackling Luka during the playoffs last year

 

[Illin Degenerate]

What a fukking dirtbag

absolutely intentional too

This argument that Halliburton isn’t a superstar is dumb as hell

Isn’t showing up in the playoffs in big moments consistently more important than averaging 30 in the regular sreason?
Isnt being clutch in the playoffs more important than having a great highlight reel?
Hie is the best player on his team in the finals, I don’t like this narrative
