Thunder vs. Pacers GameThread: This could be the final game of the NBA season

1 week ago | detroitbadboys.com | Sean Corp

Kyle Terada-Imagn Images Do we love the Oklahoma City Thunder or do we hate the Oklahoma City Thunder? If my social media consumption is to be believed, they seem to be the most hated team in the world. I don’t really get it. It’s not that I love watching Shai Gilgeous-Alexander grift his way into 10 foul shots. But I do love seeing him work his way into a gorgeous jumper. I don’t understand what you can have against Jalen Williams, who is like 10 times better than anybody ever thought he’d be.
Pacers vs. Thunder GameThread: Two teams seeking an advantage

Kyle Terada-Imagn Images This NBA Finals series between the Indiana Pacers and the Oklahoma City Thunder might not be for the casual basketball fan. But it is a series that will turn any casual basketball fan who happens to be watching into an NBA lifer. This series seems to have it all. High drama, two teams playing in top form (fun catastrophic sequences here or there aside), last-second scoring, incredible, high degree-of-diffculty shooting. And it’s just damn fun.
Thunder vs. Pacers GameThread: Back and forth we go

Kyle Terada-Imagn Images We’ve got ourselves a series. The Indiana Pacers took a 2-1 series lead over the Oklahoma City Thunder, and they have one more game in front of an insane crowd of Indianapolis die-hard basketball fanatics. If they can get another win under their belt, they could take a commanding 3-1 and be on the precipice of an NBA Title. This would make them the most improbable champs since at least the 2011 Dallas Mavericks.
Thunder vs. Pacers GameThread: OKC applies pressure until you break

Photo by Jesse D. Garrabrant/NBAE via Getty Images It’s hard to point to any legendary performances from Shai Gilgeous-Alexander of the Oklahoma City Thunder. He does his work with little flash and no razzle-dazzle. His dirty work comes with a steady stream of expertly positioned 18-footers and plenty of trips to the free-throw line. Indiana Pacers star Tyrese Haliburton, meanwhile, is all razzle-dazzle.
NBA Finals Pacers vs. Thunder Game Thread: Indiana doesn’t care how much you don’t believe

Photo by Matthew Stockman/Getty Images If every game is going to require a furious fourth-quarter comeback and game-winning shot in the game’s final seconds, the Indiana Pacers are happy to oblige. They just keep getting away with it. In game one of the NBA Finals, it was as all of the NBA commentariat predicted. The Thunder managing a double-digit lead for the large majority of the game and everyone waiting for that final punch that would put the game away.
NBA Finals: Pacers vs. Thunder GameThread: Can anyone stop the rolling Thunder?

Photo by William Purnell/Getty Images It has been a relatively fantastic NBA postseason, but I am afraid this NBA Finals might be a bit of a dud. Sure, the Indiana Pacers can score, and sure, they can blitz you on their way to overcoming a 20-point deficit. But two things. 1. That shows you that the Pacers are completely capable of falling behind by 20 points. 2. The Oklahoma City Thunder seemed designed in a lab to never give up huge runs to their opponents.
Report: Pistons interested in stretch bigs Naz Reid and Myles Turner

Photo by Nic Antaya/Getty Images As the Detroit Pistons set their sights on building off of a successful season that saw them triple their win total from the season prior, little is known about how they plan to take the next step. There has been some cursory talk of consistency and building from within from team leadership, and seeming mutual interest in bringing back sharpshooter Malik Beasley on a new multi-year deal this offseason. After that? Who knows.
Pacers vs. Knicks GameThread: Indiana looks to join OKC in the NBA Finals

Photo by Gregory Shamus/Getty Images Will this be the last time we witness Timothee Chalamet on the sidelines during the NBA playoffs? Will fellow New York Knicks superfan Ben Stiller be there right beside him? Those are the key questions we must ask ourselves as we stare down a potential elimination game as the Knicks face the Indiana Pacers and a 3-1 deficit. The Knicks, it turns out, might have Tim-ee, they might even have Jalen Brunson and Karl-Anthony Towns.
Thunder vs. Wolves GameThread: OKC looks to end series in front of home fans

1 month ago | detroitbadboys.com | Sean Corp

Photo by David Sherman/NBAE via Getty Images The Oklahoma City Thunder have looked like the best team in the NBA all season, and tonight they hope to fulfill that promise by punching their ticket to the NBA finals in front of their home fans. The Minnesota Timberwolves have certainly had more ups and downs throughout the season, but they ended the year on an extended run that showed they were among the league’s elite. They just haven’t been able to match the two-way prowess of the Thunder.
Knicks vs. Pacers GameThread: No lead is safe

1 month ago | detroitbadboys.com | Sean Corp

Photo by David L. Nemec/NBAE via Getty Images The Indiana Pacers got a taste of their own medicine. In Game 3, the Pacers were up 20 points in the second half and a clear lane to take a nearly insurmountable 3-0 lead over the New York Knicks. They were one quarter away from a glide path to an NBA Finals appearance. Karl-Anthony Towns had other ideas. Towns scored 20 of his 24 points in the fourth quarter.
