2025 NBA Finals

[Louie]

Halliburton had the worst game of the season at the worst time.

Did I hear he was playing hurt in the 4th? Also doesn't he have the rep where he can play top level or really bad?

He had a calf injury he was playing through. And I wouldn’t say it’s that divisive, but he has a tendency to pass first, shoot second which can be an issue when you’re trying to keep defenders honest.

He was hurt after the 1st quarter. Other pacer players stepped up, but the thunder were playing to well for the pacers to win without haliburton at full strength.

Game 6 of the NBA Finals will be tomorrow night at 7:30 on ABC. If Oklahoma City wins, they'll be the NBA champion. But if Indiana wins, they'll force a Game 7.

Indiana just won Game 6 108-91. So there will be a Game 7. It'll be Sunday night at 7:00 on ABC. Back in Oklahoma City.

Are you saying you knew the NBA Finals would go to a Game 7?

IF anyone buys into a conspiracy that the powers to be want a seven-game series, why has it not happened since 2016

Yep, that’s when the Cavaliers won it. It was the first time in 52 years that a Cleveland sports team won a championship.

I'm not serious so ya know. I always get a kick out of people who think the NFL is rigged too. I remember the first real instance when the Patriots beat the Falcons in OT, there was a line at the bottom of the screen that said "Patriots win super bowl with touchdown", as the Patriots were on their drive. Simply describing what happens if they did get a TD, yet some people took that literally, as if they were saying "the Patriots are going to win the super bowl with a touchdown"

That was such an improbable outcome that some people did believe it was scripted. Now its to the point when teams script their first drive, like almost all do, and the dingbats hear that, they think its scripted by the "powers that be".

So I was just poking fun at the many people out there that probably do believe its rigged. 7 games does make more money than 4.

Ever since social media blew it up, the whole "rigged" narrative is nauseating.

Good to know~ I can sleep better now! ;)

Crazy how many people think that way, though.

Oklahoma City just won Game 7 of the NBA Finals 103-91. So they're the NBA Champions. This is their first championship ever. It's party time in Oklahoma City.

I got to see 2 teams be crowned champions today. That doesn’t happen very often.
