NBA 2025 NBA Playoffs

Haliburton in the clutch again for another large Pacers comeback! They have now had a game like this every series, and what better game to have it against the Thunder where SGA scores 38 AND the Pacers turn it over 25 times.

Seems he's getting lucky more than anything. Both the basket last night and game 1 vs the Knicks never should have went in. OKC probably too good to let this impact them anyway, don't think they go down 0-2 at home, probably win next 4 or win it in 6. At least Indy got a game, was not sure they would

lmao at the lazy NBA using the same court design for the finals and regular season matchup. all the NBA cares about is the money from ad revenue.

It shouldn't be a surprise at this point but I can't believe Hali did it again. Incredible stuff.

Siakam continues to make all of the big and little plays. Unbelievable shooting from Toppin as well.

Williams and Chet both had rough nights. I think Indy's defense deserves credit for how they played Williams, although he did have that one WIDE open three he missed late in the fourth that would've sealed it for them. Chet on the other hand was just terrible.

That was the best possible result for game one with a Pacers win in an exciting finish. Hopefully we get at least six games now. I'll be shocked if OKC doesn't win but I want them to at least have to work for it.

Thinking OKC wins tonight kinda easily, but if Pacers win again, I am going to have to say Pacers will win the series even if OKC wins game 3.

 

[HisIceness]

Really sloppy Basketball being played. It's like both teams didn't expect to go this far. Bad shots, lots of fumbling the ball, dumb turnovers, etc.

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

I don't think OKC is blowing this one.

 

[GKJ]

Pieces got right where they want them

Anyone know who was favoured in the series heading into game 2?

OKLAHAMA CITY THUNDER: 17-2 FOLLOWING A LOSS THIS SEASON (5-0 IN PLAYOFFS)

Anyone know who was favoured in the series heading into game 2?

Still the Thunder, just not as heavily.

Dropped from like -800 to -350 to win the series after G1 loss.

With this win, back to -525

 

[John Price]

Was dumb to omit them in the first place. They can put on like 6 ads for Youtube TV but none for the NBA? You're just promoting your own product, nothing wrong with that

Even though the Pacers have home court now, my hunch is that the Thunder still win. Maybe split the next two in Indianapolis to keep the series even at 2-2, and then have the home team winning each of the last three to end it with the Thunder winning game seven at home.
