The Official 2025 NBA Finals Thread: OKC Thunder vs Indiana Pacers - Page 41

TJ is going to have to take point. Haliburton just snapped his tendon. You could literally see the achilles snap up like a rubber band. He's done.

You think it's a calf but the whole time it's the achilles.

I feel for Hali if that's the case

This my first fear. Compromised calf leads to an achilles pop. That move is the same as Tatum. Hopefully just the calf. He is done for the game.

He gave us a bonus game 6. I really think we could have won that without him and this too. Not worth a career altering injury.

Hate to see it happen in Game 7

ScooterD · 06-22-2025, 07:28 PM

Not a doctor, but you could see that something gave way. Awful stuff

Also my OKC by 15 may or may not also be satire. Depends on the result.

If 'my wife's boyfriend ain't bad, at least he ain't Lebron' was a blowout poster.

Oh wait...

Chin up, m8. You might actually broadcast a correct pre-game outcome one of the days. Or simply broadcast a pre-game prediction period.

Just lol@TJ being a baller. Way to jump off a ledge there, m8. Consider dropping a paid newsletter on your patreon feed.

Eternally here for it.

Yikes, you could see that thing pop. Damn, that sucks!

ninjacookies · 06-22-2025, 07:30 PM

Absolutely brutal.

Definitely looks like what we think it is. These are the unfortunate risks involved with pre-compromised leg injuries.

Still not writing the Cers out. They've been resilient all postseason regardless of circumstance.

Haliburton was in the zone too, if OKC wins this thing it'll have a big ole asterisk by it. Pushed to 7 games that should have been a gentleman's sweep at worst, now their best player is gone.

ninjacookies · 06-22-2025, 07:34 PM

Somali pirate will go down in the annals of seafaring lore if he pulls it off tonight.

Yup, pretty overrated team if hospital team nugget and pacers can bring this team to 7 games

HeyRelaxGuy · 06-22-2025, 07:40 PM

It's game over ... OKC wins ...

PLB9eight · 06-22-2025, 07:43 PM

Siakam is capable but they can’t afford any foul trouble.

Who do you hate more, SGA or Mahomes?

OKC cannot shoot the 3 for ch1t. One of the biggest differences all series.

Definitely a primary addressing concern this offseason.

Mahomes for sure. Being a Josh Allen fan will do that to you.

Nomad · 06-22-2025, 07:53 PM

Siakam is part of it, but the key is whether Nemhard and Nesmith hold. Can Obi catch fire. Mathurin as he has been known to do. TJ. Actually, I really still like our odds.

They were good during the regular season, I believe they were #6 in 3P percentage.

But in the playoffs they are a bottom 10 3P team.

And here I thought OKC is a juggernaut. Or was since they're showing a lot of weakness this run

Hate the see hali go down but…..

I can only imagine siakam in the huddle now…..”guys look at me, look at me! I’m the captain now!”…..(Haliburton is the actual pacers captain haha)

Yeah. They've fallen off a cliff. Seems the stage got a bit too bright for the youngins. That said, they've still managed to make it to see g7 of a Finals. So not bad all things considered.

I mean they have won games this post season where Halliburton did nothing. It is doable. Key is stay our of foul trouble and keep it close all game. Pacers have proven really good in the last five minutes. OKC would be really tight in that scenario.

When a 6'8 Somali speaks, people shut up and listen.

Dude's so likeable. I would not be 100% opposed to seeing him grab all the shine in 2 hours.
