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

[Marlo Barksdale]

Dudes need to stop blaming refs for everything. Dudes want gritty physical shyt. Then they get it and start crying. Both teams are playing hard as shyt.

Not when they swallow the whistle one way and call dumb stuff the other way.

SGA is too good of a player to let him get away with 30 blatant pushoffs a game and then call bad fouls to get him FTs.

It’s no way to guard him because if you’re physical either he pushes off or gets a foul.

Another example of the NBA has a baaaaad problem with game fixing and I have absolutely no dog in the hunt. Takes all the enjoyment out

Charles Barkley on NBATV saying what I was thinking

How come Indiana didn’t run anything for Siakam? He’s their best one on one player. Only one shot in the 4th quarter

 

[Stone]

Caruso/JDub/little bit of refs pretty much won them this one by keeping them in this one early. When Caruso hit that baseline fadeaway I knew Indy was in trouble

 

[MarcP]

His game way too smooth for me to hate, not much more you could want out of a 2 guard

35 on the road and cool as a new A/C down the stretch. Only thing to hate at this point is that he's not on your team.

Pacers fans must feel like CP3 right now about Scott Foster

nikka fouled cp out in the first half, Scott is the best player in the nba

 

[AlbertPullhoez]

Always losers complaining about refs when both teams got a gazillion fts. If you want to blame anyrhing its Indiana execution down the stretch.

For real nikkas blaming the refs and not the other team shytty ass play and execution

Same reason I never had no sympathy for the Kings in 2002

 

[AceDeuceTrey]

they're mentally tough enough to bounce back from this

this wasn't that convincing of a win minus the late meltdown

Yeah, I don’t see this “this series is over” after watching that.

OKC consistently leaves a lot of food on the table due to poor 3 pt shooting and a lot of highly contested shots. I trust INDY more in spots where high execution is required. It wouldn't shock me if Indy takes Game 5 or 7 on the road

 

[FukkaPaidEmail]

Took over??? Mf just foul baited and pushed off

There was only one foul bait move Shai had during that run…and that was when he went up when bro had his hand on his arm..which is something any nikka in the league is going to do


He hit that three on the wing ,had that baseline step back ,then got a foul call when he hit a counter spin when Naismith had his water cut off and drew a legit foul .


Pacers lost because instead of the ball moving down the stretch Hali was scared to attack Dort and tried to get a SGA switch using damn near half the shot clock which fukked their offense up

 

[Loose]

OFC thunder fans think OKC don't got a crazy whistle

sports fans lose all objectivity being homers

26 fouls versus 27 fouls yall bytch a lot. Thunder attack the paint of course they gonna get fts

 

[KillerPups]

Dam it's a lot going on in the news five mins and I'm like



Lemme put on nbatv

 

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

Old head shyt.

 

[Lootpack]

I feel like dudes enjoy being contrarians. This is probably a blowout without his bullshyt. He controlled the entire game.




what am I even watching right now

They ain’t gonna gaslight me. I saw what I saw, lol.

 

[Oldschooler]

When you look at the SGA push off in full speed it didn't look like much but it definitely threw Nesmith off balance. Nembhard still had a great challenge on it cause SGA lost his balance. SGA gets away with it because he's a skinny player and has a reputation of playing with contact. Most the time he puts the shoulder into you.

Indy got Indy'd. Straight lemon booty down the stretch. Understandable really when you consider how much they depend on role players.
