Will be way more competitive than people think but OKC in 6.
OKCEAL Team Six Hunts Down The Haliban! | Official Thunder (#1) vs. Pacers (#4) 2025 NBA Finals Thread

I don't see them winning, but they have some things going for them to where they will likely avoid being swept.
It can be argued they have a more explosive bench. I feel like most would give them the coaching advantage. They've been shooting lights out from 3. I don't think Indy will go quietly. But OKC has a larger gap as far as its advantages over Indy than Indy does over OKC.

not redeemed with gold but with His Blood
They’re both from montreal, Quebec, Canada breh. They won’t be back to nyc because they aren’t from there, but they will go back to their hometown after the finals are over.

Thunder in 6, this is their year
Hawala Man
All Star
Pacers in 7.
All sports media is talking about OKC overall record comparing them to Bulls. The Pacers in all game ones so far have played good they need to steal game one put pressure on the Thunder in game two.
OKC gives up many corner open 3s (Wolves and Grizzlies series) this where Nemhard, Nesmith, Toppin and Sheppard must capitalize on open looks. The half court offense will also be interesting if the refs let them play or SGA is at the FT line 15+ times.
Rick has to go small ball at some point so I expect chess match from both coaches. Maybe he pulls out his first chess move game two depending on the outcome of game one. Okc putting Caruso on Siakam in 4th quarters will be interesting watch.

Oldest guy in this series is tj McConnell at 32
I just have a hard time seeing OKC lose at home if nobody is injured.
But then again, we haven’t seen how their mental will hold up in a game 7.
Away their games are close, like buzzer beater L’s at worst and then back in OKC they’re smoking them.
The only advantage for Indy is that they’ve played tougher teams and won tough away games

Nah every Haitian outside of Haiti got family in NYC or Boston lol
Denver took them to 7 and they held up pretty well but you are right Indy had the tougher road to this stage so they might be better mentally prepared.
I got OKC in 5. Watched this team all year, especially since I had SGA and JDub on my fantasy team. I just can’t see any team beating them when they are locked in.
