I'm picking Indy to win tonight. They've been the better team since game three, even though they lost games four and five. They've really suffocated OKC's offense outside of SGA and Jalen.

Game 7's are wonky and it wouldn't shock me if some random guy explodes for 30 and hits eight threes, especially since they're at home. But, the way things have been going, it's more likely for someone random on Indy to get hot out of the blue.

I heard Zach Lowe say it a few times since game six and I thought the same thing afterwards, that OKC still doesn't know who they trust after their main two guys. Daigneault is constantly fiddling with his lineups. We don't even know what his starting lineup is gonna be tonight and if it'll be different to start the second half.

Caruso and Dort have been shooting over their heads during this series and came back to earth in game six. They are both due to be trash shooting again. Neither guy is supposed to be lights out.

Indy has eight guys averaging 10 or more in this series. They know who they are and who is going to be playing in what spots. All they do is overcome adversity and pull through in the biggest moments.

I don’t trust Indy to pull out the win on the road. I get everything you’re saying but OKC seems to go up another level at home vs road.

A lot of them open 3’s they were missing last game I expect Chet/Dort/J-Dub to hit

Yeah, OKC's definitely different at home and it wouldn't shock me if they have a bunch of guys get hot and blow Indy out.

Game 7's in the Finals are usually tight though. As long as Indy keeps their turnovers down, it should be close.

Its game 7 of the finals not no regular playoff game :mjlol:


The psychological aspect is going to be amplified x1000 for everyone on the court.

Everyone is going to shoot bricks for most part.

This is going to be like Game 4 of Denver vs OKC

If OKC wins it'll be because they come out firing and keep their foot on the Pacers neck. If it's close I gotta go with the toss up. I already made a proclamation I can see Haliburton hitting a game winner if this thing is close before it ends. Also everyone picking against the Pacers does make me weary as if they haven't been shocking everybody all postseason long. But I'm conflicted cause I had predicted the Finals being Thunder against Boston early in the season, and Boston is at home so.

Yeah I’m rooting for Indy to win at this point but it’s hard to see OKC losing at home. Only lost twice at home in the playoffs and the two losses were basically miracles(Gordon game winner in the WC semis, game 1 of the Finals)
