[NBA] The 2025 Finals

Yep. Pacers have no business, on paper, hanging with OKC. Yet, thats what #sports are played. You dont win a series on paper.

They definitely got a "team of destiny" thing going on this post season run. I think OKC still wins, but its been fun to see them have like a 2010 Giants esq run this postseason

They do if Mathurin is this dude. Jefferson had a good point, they made the ECF without Mathurin. Having a player built for the postseason like he is if he is who he looks like he is, is going to make this whole thing entirely different. This is SGA's Kobe moment. He's in a very similar situation to Kobe post Shaq. The competition might not be as stiff but those Gasol teams still had way more experience and depth talent wise. This has to be SGA's superstar moment.

Chet looks afraid to shoot. That could be a problem for OKC.

He looks afraid to shoot when covered. Open shots no hesitation....in the 3rd Game 1Q the Pacers let him run amok. He has a problem vs Turner in the blocks who is a very good shot blocker.

The Pacers are all business on the court. They lead the League in 3 point shooting, they run and they can play defense.
Its not how, its how many.

Good adjustments from the Pacers last game. Let's see how the Thunder counters next game.
