Scheduling quirk. Probably because its so early...the earliest it could possibly be actually. Not sure why they didnt account for that since they usually have it set up to end of Fathers Day if it goes 7.

The GOAT was winning chips on Father’s Day. Silver ain’t shyt


:mjcry:


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

There was no set start date ot end date in 96. No 2-2-1-1-1 or extra days for travel. Series just serendipitously ended on Fathers Day (and that game was a stinker). In the last decade they have intentionally set it up to end on Father's Day.

Yeah while I was watching game 4, I said "this is the series". OKC Pacer'd them. Between that and whatever Haliburton got going on, I dont see how they recover.
They had OKC on the ropes bad, down 10 and they couldn't buy a bucket... Pacers could not extend the lead to like 15 to begin the 4th quarter.

Very gutty comeback by OKC to pull themselves out of that.

There was a stretch late in game 4 that fukked the Pacers. They had a chance to put it just out of reach and I think if they go up 3-1 it's over. Pacers had some terrible possessions, OKC is too good to give a second life to.

Close series but OKC has the higher ceiling of the two and it looks like it's just a formality now

Game 5 Pacers kept on fighting and made it very close then OKC pulled away. It wouldn't shock me if Indy won game 6 at home but I doubt it. OKC is the better team

This is Jalen Williams 3rd season but jigglers are still waiting on Jalen Green to break out

Disingenuous

If Aaron Gordon could actually run game 7 Williams would’ve been trade bait based on how he played. Green has his issues but he certainly doesn’t have one of the greatest SGs since Michael & Kobe playing next to him

It seems like OKC has no clue what to do with TJ McConnell lol. He always finds his way to his shot make or miss be damned

I still think Indiana can do it but Carlisle has to go with hot hands. It’s one thing if Hali is having a bad shooting game but if he isn’t shooting at all it’s a problem

Oh Yeah…

OKC should close it out Thursday, they’ve been the best team all season and in the playoffs by margin.

However,

That ‘tensity I saw in TJ McConnell’s eyes was some shyt I ain’t seen since Game 6 Bron vs Boston in 2012, so I can’t just write off Indy
TJ has to use up all of his battery life in the stretches that he plays so that’s not sustainable for a whole game.
