2025 NBA Finals: Oklahoma City Thunder vs. Indiana Pacers

Keep the picks. The Durant love would make sense if it were a few years back. He is washed up, injury-prone, and too old.

 

My goodness. What a family!

 

I don't know, but I know that a GAME SEVEN is more important to him.

What I'm wondering about is VEGAS. They won a lot with so many people taking the Thunder in 4 to 6 games; now they've set the Game Seven line at -8.5, which has moved to -6.5 with many people taking the Pacers.

It trips me out that the line was set so high. But, this Finals looks a lot like the Thunder vs Nuggets, so a Thunder blowout is possible. It would be nuts if the people who lost money on the Thunder in 4 to 6, now take the Pacers, only to watch them get blown out.

 

The line has favored OKC in an extreme way each and every game this series. Quite frankly, I understood why, even if I didn't necessarily agree.

However, starting the game 7 line at -8.5 seems crazy because the Pacers have proven themselves to be a very sticky team and everyone's confidence in OKC should be shaken after game 6. I'm not saying this will be a repeat, but three years ago the Mavs blew out the Suns in Dallas in game 6 and then nuked them in Phoenix in game 7. They led by over 40 at point.

I see game 7 as near 50/50, perhaps giving a slight edge to OKC since they have been very "home court sensitive" the entire playoffs. I hope it's one for the ages, but at the moment, I think there's a decent chance one team breaks away.

 

Of course, each Pacers road Win was within the 1-6 points area where OKC Home Wins go up from 10-40 points differential......

I doubt it works like that. Betting and reality are not the same things.

In reality there are 100 things that can go the Pacers way but in betting you cannot foresee that.

 

Loved everything about this!!!

 

so who finna jinx this for either team?

 

OKC is likely "scripted" to win, but the Pacers may ruin the party.

 

Somebody tell me Stephen A's daughter does not look like Shay Shay Shannon Sharpe.....

 

It seems like a pretty good series. Too bad I haven't watched a single second of action. I guess I would have if my locals weren't out. For whatever reason, when it warms up...my satellite local stations go out. When it cools down, my satellite local stations start coming in. Now, WTF is up with that?

 

Same. OKC and ****ing Indy being in the finals dashes part of my ‘the NBA is rigged’ theory but I still think it’s cooked af.

 

Didn't know that both were at Gonzaga Zags the whole time.

 

Keys to next season.

They need to become better at the Half court game, forcing Turnovers is nice and fine but at the end of the day got to find a way to score.
