2025 NBA Finals: Oklahoma City Thunder vs. Indiana Pacers

More like quarter by quarter, even play by play. One play you can get away with murder. The other play, you get called by putting a hand on the other guy's shoulder.

The inconsistency creates a vibe of suspicion. I'm not a conspiracy theorist. But honestly, with such inconsistency, it's quite easy to slip unfair treatments into a game. They can point to the even distribution of bad calls to both teams and seem that it's cancelled out. But not all bad calls are created equal. Some are more damaging than others. It doesn't show in boxscores. You have to watch the flow of the game to get the contexts.

 

Problem is understood before why they helped lakers or warriors and favored big market teams. But this is OKC versus Indiana I'm not sure what the NBA gets for OKC winning, I'm not sure they care either way with these two teams neither will help them drive ratings. Especially cuz everyone is hating on SGA style of play,

 

but i thought they dont call that stuff in the playoffs..

 

That is a Harden only rule

Halliburton plays like a butterfly.

 

Yeah Haliburton has been far too passive to warrant any FTs so that means jack.

 

jon goble and marc davis starting for the thunder tonight

 

Absolutely criminal by the NBA, as a professional league they should be ashamed

 

Give me two realistic team numbers and I say the Pacers win, even in OKC

Shoot >40% from 3
Get >28 assists

You can hold me to it

A third that could replace one of the other two, albeit an individual stat, is >20 points and >10 assists for Haliburton

 

You could be right, particularly the 40% from 3. My take: Except for OKC's relatively "comfortable" win in game 2, this series has been all about 4th quarter domination.

There is every reason to think it will be close after 3 and the final 12 mins can completely flip from how the first 36 mins trended.

TLDR: Lazy people can just watch the 4th quarter because nothing prior matters.

 

Uncalled SGA off-arm pushoff #1

 

Hartenstein with the flop

Scott foster is one of the biggest pos of all time for messing with one of the greatest upsets and championship runs

the nba can go **** itself tbh don’t even feel like tuning in

 

Hack on the break by OKC

Followed by soft call for SGA

I expect it to go 7 now. Okc winning at home.

Pacers *had* to win in 6
