These Days of Thunder (#1) don't need no Pacers (#4) aka Adam Silver's Nightmare | The OFFICIAL 2024-2025 NBA Finals Thread

Most valuable player vs most valuable pawger

 

[StatUS]

how do you match up if youre carlisle?

siakam v chet, turner v ihart, nesmith sga, hali dort, nembhard cannot get jdub

might need to beef up and start toppin so siakam can take jdub

Their last matchup Nembhard guarded SGA and Neismith took JDub.

Haliburton - SGA a zesty PG matchup for the ages

 

[EarlyEarly]

Going OKC in 6. I actually think the Pacers get game 1. But OKC just have more levers to pull and adjustments to make.

Real basketball fans ain't mad at that match up. Been a Okc fan since 08 it's our time. This will be a good series both are evenly matched. Okc in 6

Haliburton - SGA a zesty PG matchup for the ages

Light skin for the win

Knicks pit the clamps on Hali game 5. Think OKC will do that every single game. Knicks defense was awful most mid the games. I gotta see it but I'm going OKC in 5

White Americas dream match up. Record low ratings. Thunder in 6 and forgotten by July.

People think he's Stern.


If it doesn't draw it doesn't draw but it also exposes NBA fans (and makes Kevin Durant look like Confucius).


Thunder in 6.

Pacers haven't lost B2B games since February, but I think OKC manages to do so.

People are dumb nba has a new contract and silver realizes they have to build new stars for old guard is done/dying. Nba already fukked up not putting these teams on marquee games in the first place

You don't like the Days of Thunder (the movie) theme?



I'm trying to avoid the "Thunderstorm" and use the team name

I think it's a more fitting title for a few reasons....

1) Whether liked ot not, OKC has been the favorite to win the title for most of this season, especially after they went on their Eastern conference portion of their schedule, making easy work of the Celtics, Knicks Pacers and going 1-1 vs the Cavs.

2. Pace to Chase Thurnderstorm is a perfect reference for each team.

3. OKC's runs are called Thunderstorms. They've been blowing out the league for most of the season, thus the best point differential of all time this season.

I think real fans of respective teams, im general, should be able to come up with titles for major competition threads.

Cason Wallace is gonna prove to the world that any team in this draft should deal their first rounder + more for him.

and OKC gonna be around, so the league might as well embrace that squad.

He aint going anywhere thats lu dort replacement part of the core 4

He aint going anywhere thats lu dort replacement part of the core 4

NO! I wanna see him shine! He not really a political prisoner but Free Cason! He needs to be a Net having a team built around him

That would be great. I want him to take and make more shots, especially in the midrange because, outside of Caruso, OKC's bench has been cold for most of the playoffs.

If the bench ges hot like they were in the regular season, this series is over in 4-5 games. I hope to see that Thunder team in this series.
