OKC really isn’t playing well. Feels like the energy of the game changed a lot after that injury. Pacers are just impossible to dispose of 

I really like Haliburton a lot so I don’t say this to be rude.

 

But he’s kind of like a glue guy superstar. The Pacers offense doesn’t need him to get 25-30 points for them to win like a traditional scoring superstar.

 

So really, unlike OKC if SGA was out, I think they have a good chance of weathering the storm.

Agree, OKC seems really tight as well. Pacers truly have nothing to lose. Will be a very interesting 3rd quarter. I think OKC will start attacking more. They settled for a lot of threes in the first half.

Pacers really falling apart that quarter, it felt like they pushed way too much at the end.

And another team with No prior Championships that wins one before a Buffalo team...

 

When is it finally going to be our turn??

Wrong, 2nd championship. 

 

SuperSonics won in 1979.

Most impactful player of the 2025 season:  Kawhi Leonard. 
 

He forced the clippers into trading the house for Paul George.  The clippers would’ve been dam good if they stayed put

I pretty much saw every major playoff game of the entire playoffs…. Except game 7 of the finals!! I had a work conflict, and only saw the 1st qtr. 

 

looked like the pacers hung tough for a bit?

Since some have spoke of championships, basketball and Buffalo, here’s a bit of an odd fun fact:

 

The Los Angeles Clippers are the longest running North American franchise to have never played in a championship game.

 

Where’s the Buffalo connection you ask??? Anyone want to take a shot?

 

(I hope I got this right)

Oh Jesus, you saw that calf pop he’s done. Serious injury. 🥺

Guy was playing with fire by going out there with that calf strain. You absolutely hate to see it 

 

Kevin Durant had the same thing happen when he was on the Warriors. The guy is trying to win a championship......gotta give him props for trying even though it probably will also cost him most if not all of next season

Ugh such bull**** for that to happen in the last game of a magical playoff run for the Pacers. Awful. 

 

Loved how Halliburton was standing on crutches waiting for his teammates to come back to the locker room after the game......hugged each and every one of them.......that's some leadership and character right there.
