[NBA] The 2025 Finals

[kingdivac]

Nice defense by Turner

 

[The_Jamal]

There's OKC. 9-0 run in 1:17, with suffocating defense and rim pressure leading to wide open 3's

 

[SacTownKid]

The Thunder are literally giving the Pacers a bit of their own medicine here. Breaking them down and kicking back out.

 

[kingdivac]

McConnell with a terrible play

“Suffocating”

 

[The_Jamal]

“Suffocating”

correct

 

[Joshyjosh31]

TJ just got fouled 5 times in a row and sga gets a call

 

[kingdivac]

Thunder absolutely zero defense on McConnell

 

[The_Jamal]

TJM is just one man, help him out Pacers!

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

McConnell starting to impose his will

 

[SacTownKid]

TJ busting out his best Nash impersonation all at one time with these rim layups.

 

[kingdivac]

Terrible turnovers - just garbage

 

[The_Jamal]

Nesmith fouled the crap out of Caruso, no call.

 

[kingdivac]

Pacers are not moving enough on offense

 

[SacTownKid]

Pacers are not moving enough on offense

And they're panicking after a few dribbles. Launching tough passes to the first available help.

 

[The_Jamal]

Pacers are not moving enough on offense

They're expecting TJM to handle getting blitzed like crazy, hold his dribble and find the right play or score. A LOT to put on this dude

 

[kingdivac]

Pacers in danger of losing the game now

 

[LoungeLizard]

Pacers need Siakam to step up if they’re going to get back in this game

 

[Joshyjosh31]

No idea why they went with Bradley and Toppin

 

[The_Jamal]

No idea why they went with Bradley and Toppin

Putting Tony Bradley in the game with the game on the line as your team is losing momentum seems like the worst possible decision

 

[kingdivac]

Alexander has no touch at long distance - zero

 

[Joshyjosh31]

No call on that crap for Siakam with Caruso body checking him on the floor then on the crap lol

 

[The_Jamal]

Rick Carlisle is annoying AF. Is he not watching all the contact they're letting go for OKC? Both sides aren't getting calls.

Bradley has concrete feet, but the damage is done.....I think the Pacers aren't coming back in the 4th judging by their body language and play. Thunder look content to trade baskets now.

Dudes not serious

 

[The_Jamal]

Sure bud

 

[Joshyjosh31]

Haha how long was OKC given to review that

I mean, it's got to be through more insane 3pt shooting, like game 1 and OKC just goes ice cold. Can't imagine OKC loses focus though here and take their lead for granted though

 

[chief bromden]

Looks like the Pacers magic has run out

 

[Joshyjosh31]

Sure bud

Ya c the coach doesn’t know anything and Jefferson saying “not a lot of contact there” on 60% of OKC fouls doesn’t mean anything
