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

[Squirrel from Meteor Man]

the real convo that needs to be had is about Hali's suspect handle

shyt's the root of everything negative i hear about him

No handle, no left hand, janky jump shot, no strength. Glorified fast break starter. Lonzo Ball without the chronic injuries

 

[Left.A1]

that come out wrong and won't even ask you how.

I'm fukking up y'all

 

[Liberalspeed34]

Excellent win by OKC. Difference between this and game 1 is we kept scoring. Game 1 in the 4th we started the quarter on a 9-3 run. J Dub got the steal and dunk and went up 15 pts. From that point we got outscored 32-16. You can't try and survive against Indy, you have to keep scoring. Panic sets in and the next thing you know they've doubled you up. Stayed the course this time.

That Shai and Dub 2 man game is going to be a problem going forward. Shai with the usual scoring consistency also with 10 ast. Teams can't do anything with Dub when he attacks the basket, monster game. Caruso didn't have a good offensive game but his defense was there. Chet's defense altered the game, can't wait til he gets stronger. Cason finally showed up and Wiggs got some good buckets. Dort with the clamps, rebounds, 3's. IHart with the rebounds and screens, and Kenrich gave good minutes.

1 more game. Thunder up!

What did windy say was Indy’s magic number? 110 points and guaranteed win? Less and guaranteed L?

If Hali only had 5 points in him

 

[TEH]

This series should have been over in 5. Different classes

Shoulda, coulda, woulda

Pacers in 7

 

[Snake316]

Haliburton’s luck has ran out

Rick cost himself a chip playing Salary Cap Games

Word to @Art Barr

Bird got tha link slip ready.

F'oh this bullshyt.


Just a shyt ball course in positional roster management in the front court. At tip off.

Yeah i may ssy lineup of doom.

Yet when kkc continues to twin tower you at tip off.
Versus a team that uses a big guard at point.
to lil boi you off the scouting report.

You gotta play like its spade.
slam that pink slip card and make book on ric employment card.
being discussed at the board room table.


Thst is why i ain't say shyt in this thread.

This one of them front office goes covert dark ass meetings.

When tbey like.

Any word kn things.

.then we like.


You ain't heard from'eem..
Like na.
you good tho

No word on meetings bout you tho.

Then you get tha axe tho.

Like nah we good tho.

Rick Carlisle fukked this up

Jag tha finals breh.


Real talk.

Youngin's can cling to this like.
they more skilled than bron.
Plus carlisle in the 2000's.

if they beat carlisle.
In dominate fashion in six.

After dropping home court advantage.

as carlisle really losing this.
csn cause that sort of warranted talk.
or at rhe very least. If the bron era tries to emulate the small ball era. The bron era would lose to the new guard.

If carlisle loses. This gives a fact indicator in timeline. Of the youngin having a talking point on the bron era.

I do not hate on youngins.

i jist talk facts.

If carlisle loses. Carlisle gives a flag point fact. For youngins to say they were better than the bron era.

It will be a fact.
to point to in history too tho.



youngins got'eem one.

youngins really got'eem one.
if carlisle lose this final to shai.

To shutup.
the bron era on here.

Sohh all warrior fans get clowned in this. To spurs pretentious fans. Get clapped in this too tho.

Sohh i am all for the youngins.
to gdt their ammo in arguments from this.

I see it now.

Youngins gon be treatin bron gen in sports talk.

Like what happened when our gen went up and clapped carlisle. When bron needed the heatles for help tho.
what happened when out grn clapped carlisle and bron could not?

Of rhe first rip too tho?

afger bron sent to two finals to lose to the spurs and carlisle.

Youngins gon put bron gen'n eem throughed't it....off this.

then we gon all fall out and bus our coli choppa in the air. To salute the table style sonn'n.


I can't wait.

As for moi

.....i'mek get to talk, treat and roast'eem regardless.

Mek gen x
i'mek from where the goat mike, from tho.


Dr j tho
Nique tho
bird tho

.sohh i'mek gon enjoy this.
regardless of what happens.

yet the youngins get a layup talking point to son the bron gen.

If carlisle loses...



Art Barr


Youngins i gave y'all a lay up.

it's always a bigger deal when the underdog team steals a game. Beause they NEED to capitalize. They can't afford not to. OKC by all intents and purposes is much better

IND had a chance to go up 3-1. They led pretty much all game, and then choked it away. Now they're down 3-2 with Haliburton not contributing. That's how quickly things change. The worse team finds itself in a position to take a 3-1 lead over a 68-win historic team, you absolutely cannot fukk that up

I disagree you still play for every game and earn the win. Sure being down 3-1 might be demoralizing but I can bet my house the players dont think like that. They play every game and focus on winning that one game. If pacers were up 3-1 and Hali suffered the calf contusion they would still be at risk of losing the series.

See if Indy will fold in game 6 on.... fukking Thursday.. oh Lord.

 

[Regular_P]

OKC in 6 was my original pick, I’m sticking with it. But we are overdue for a Finals Game 7

I think it's going seven. Both teams are different at home, blown games not withstanding.

I don't understand what the fukk Indy is doing against JDub. He had 16 shots in the paint tonight. He's able to drive at will on Indy.

 

[RAX 010]

Ok where we at with this?

 

[bucks3115]

Its over

OKC is winning game 6

 

[Dem313wayz]

This series is over. OKC know they are the better team.

Pacers are competing there ass off to but OKC is just too much. It wouldn't surprise me if Indy wins game 6 at home tho I doubt it.

But there is no way Indy would win a game 7 in OKC
