NBA Season 2024-25

Really hope Indy can pull off a miracle against OKC. Such an unlikable team, especially their lopsided whistle they get.

[Who]

Jaden McDaniels = 0-6 FGA
NAW = 0-4 FGA
Conley = 0-2 FGA

12 empty possessions.

The team is 3-20 FGA. So 0-12 for them and 3-8 from Randle & Ant.

The team has 4 turnovers. 2 for Randle. 2 for Naz.

Hopefully Pacers/Thunder Final will be decent.

Thunder sweep with an average margin of victory of 20

I don?t see Indy as in the same league as OKC.  Or the Knicks as that series is only presumed over but not actually over.  But winning 4 straight in the Finals isn?t easy and they may lose focus and drop one.

That?s fair, I could see a gentlemen?s sweep.
Nothing against Indiana, people can be impressed with them all they want as am I, but the thunder will have to massively choke for it to be a competitive series

Only chance the pacers have is the spotlight and pressure being too big for OKC and they choke?not likely considering the pacers haven?t really been on that stage either?other then siakam

9 points for MIN that quarter. 6 by Ant lol

[Who]

I think the commentators had it right when they said Randle should not be dribbling 20-25 feet out against OKC's quick handed guards. He is fine dribbling against their bigs. He is a mistake waiting to happen against their guards.

Send him down into the post and let him catch it 8-10 feet from the basket against those little guards and beat them from there. Not 20-25 feet out on the floor.

[Who]

36-14 OKC lead. 22pt lead.

They could be up 30+pts by halftime.

[Who]

Minnesota players look shook. Scared.

The only guy I trust with the ball right now is Ant. Everyone else on their team is afraid.

Actually, Gobert has been fine too.

[Goldstar88]

I don?t get why Ant falls forward on his FTs. Very odd.

Pathetic showing by the T-Wolves.

[jpotter33]

The whistle that OKC gets after the contact they get away with on the other end is astonishing.

That Ant drive is 100% called a foul if that was SGA. It?s what makes OKC so unlikable. They just spam the foul game knowing the refs can?t/won?t call all of them.

[Who]

Naz Reid trying to beat Caruso off the dribble 25 feet as well. Why? Post him up. Jump hook. Caruso can't stop you 8 feet from the basket. Why try dribblin around him from 25 feet? That is his world. That is what he does best. Defending the perimeter.

Naz Reid had 4 turnovers in 8 minutes.

[Phantom255x]

I hate OKC's flopping and all that, but honestly don't really care about the players or fans. They seem alright and it's a small-market. Now if this were NY, LA or someone like that, yeah I'd be more ticked. But whatever, if OKC wins it all fine with me. I'm okay if it's them or Indiana. Just please not NY.

Also, OKC is gonna make some moves after next season too. Once SGA gets nearly 400M and others are up, no way they'll pay everyone either.

[Who]

Holmgren dominating Randle inside!

[Who]

Sometimes I look at Ant and I wonder if he is better off as a SG or as a SF. He is so big so powerful. He could play SF and they could have more skilled guards out there alongside him. It would be a dynamic attack. Or you keep him at SG and play power basketball / bully ball. A big defensive lineup.

[Who]

9 turnovers in the Q2
4 turnovers Q1
13 turnovers by half

The turnovers in this 2nd period are mind numbing. They are throwing the game away. They are not even making OKC work for it. They are giving it away.

3-20 FGA in Q1
9-18 FGA in Q2

But they threw away those 9 possessions with turnovers. Sorry, 10 turnovers. They got one more in the last 30secs.

OKC lead 65-32

They got their 30+pts halftime lead after all.
