What an incredible series of basketball this has been. Phenomenal shooting, great defense, trading dominant performances. Most evenly matched Finals I can remember for a long time. Very happy as a basketball fan right now fidel-balling

Fully agree.

I respect the Thunder but I think these Pacers are incredible. Even if they lose, we were lucky to see them.

I disrespect the Thunder as I see them as a stolen team on stolen land, and I wish them nothing but failure. They are good tho.

Pacers ball is full team play like we haven't seen since the '14 Spurs or '15 Warriors, it's a thing of beauty.

hate haliburton and the corny underdog narrative, hate the thunder with all my heart; sunday is a win/win//lose/lose

It made me so sad that he didn't lose in OT after doing the choke sign

Rick Carlisle really cementing himself as a top 10-15 all time head coach. I think hes top 10 if he wins the series

Two heavily underdog championships would be pretty incredible. I didn't watch the '11 Mavs run, was it a similar kind of team offense? Is Siakam their Dirk?

[–] Jew@hexbear.net 2 points 1 month ago

Dirk really doesn't have a comparison on the Pacers team. The offense ran through him every play he was on the floor. Siakam is more like Rip Hamilton on the Carlisle Pistons.
