NBA 2025 NBA Playoffs

[EpochLink]

The Thunder about to win their first title in OKC.
Seattle Supersonic's history should be sent back to them.

I guess Siakam is still a good #2.

OKC: 27 points off turnover

Looks over. Not going to say definitively because it’s the Pacers, but it’s looking like it.

 

[HisIceness]

It's over.

Feel awful for Sonics fans right now.

And Clippers fans get to be kicked in the nuts one more time.

Hornets too. They drafted SGA lol

 

[PeteWorrell]

Looks like Haliburton is done. You can only defy the odds for so long with that injury.

It's sad but predictable. Having a calf injury puts extra strain on the achilles.

 

[Stylizer1]

SGA is so stringy of a player

 

[Stylizer1]

Reggie Miller in the Stands

Montreal-Nord crime scene here as Dort injures Mathurin.

 

[SJSharksfan39]

This is reminding me of some of the hard hitting NBA of the 90s. Up and down the court there are some hard and maybe borderline dirty hits going on. That shot to the ear looked somewhat bad.

 

[Breakers]

Im pumped for Sam Presti

But man Indiana would have been such a feel good story

 

[Cloned]

Everyone on social media congratulating the Thunder when this one isn’t over yet.

 

[Breakers]

Lebron travels like that 25x a game

 

[Stylizer1]

What a travel lol

 

[SJSharksfan39]

If we went by Doris Burke's definition of a travel, there would be traveling calls all game long.

 

[Stylizer1]

Wait, you can only run the baseline after a made basket not coming out of a timeout

 

[Breakers]

My god

get Siakam involved
he's not even touching the ball

 

[red devil]

SGA must be having one of his worst shooting games of his career he is 8 for 27

 

[HisIceness]

Pacers are getting stops but aren't scoring. This would be a 5-ish point lead for OKC if someone besides McConnell could score.

 

[Breakers]

Mcconnell went from Goat to goat real quick with these brutal turnovers

 

[red devil]

Pacers are getting stops but aren't scoring. This would be a 5-ish point lead for OKC if someone besides McConnell could score.

Mathurin has 20 in the game

 

[HisIceness]

Mathurin has 20 in the game

I'm more referring to the drought Indy had in the 3rd quarter.

 

[Breakers]

Dort'ure Chamber

Guy is relentless

 

[BobColesNasalCavity]

Feel good for those long time Thunder fans.

Pacers winning would’ve been a Hollywood movie in the making. They were underrated all playoffs.

 

[Reality Check]

This has to be awful in you're an Indiana fan. Because it's not just an injury, it's an ACL. Getting this far only to have that happen is crushing.

I can somewhat relate. The '87 Pistons lost both Vinnie Johnson and Adrian Dantley to injury in game 7 of the ECF to Boston. This would be the same series where they lost game 5 to the famous turnover.

Next season, they're up 3-2 in the NBA Finals and their best player (Isiah Thomas) goes down with a bum ankle. Plays on and they nearly pull it out until the famous Phantom Foul occurs in the closing seconds of game 6.

Lakers win, Thomas barely plays in the game 7 and the Lakers repeat as champions. Next season, Detroit would get their revenge and win back-to-back titles.

But the injuries they suffered in those games were nowhere near as severe as what happened to Haliburton tonight.
