[Game Threads] NBA Finals 2025

Alright, Thunder, we gotta stay the course here and get this win.

Halftime. Carlisle should keep the bench unit in when they’re cooking. Turner hasn’t really been great outside of the occasional 3 once a quarter. I also like how aggressive the Pacers are compared to the past 2 games. If refs won’t give them the same easy fouls as the Thunder, then they should just go hard and attack the paint.

Carlisle waited too long to bring in TJ back in 2nd half. He came in only at the end of 3rd.

The bench unit going hard exhausted the Thunder so now the Pacers starters are taking advantage of the tired OKC starters. This is what the Pacers needed, that bench production.

[Guest]

Bout time someone gave OKC a taste of their own medicine (suffocating defense).

I’m at a concert right now and there’s no tv at the bar lol. So I’m just checking the play-by-play. Looks like The Extender is doing his job based on what I’ve read.

Honestly it was pretty evenly reffed, and the Pacers missed a shit ton of free throws. It felt like the Thunder lost even with the win. Pacers are going to adjust big.

[garretble@lemmy.world]

Really stressful, but I’m glad for the W.

Forgot the thread fellas What a performance. I hope Hali recovers from this calf thing. Bummer way to end it.

[garretble@lemmy.world]

Cautiously optimistic for the win tonight.

[Guest]

Lmao Hali doing a no-look pass when it’s obviously a pass to Siakam.

[garretble@lemmy.world]

Welp, I guess game seven it is, then, ha.

Imma be here for this!

[randalthor@lemmy.ca]

Ah fuck no.... that Haliburton injury doesn't look good. His calf muscles snapped.

[Guest]

Yeah, that looked bad.

Who's going to step up for the Pacers?
