Pacers: *** NBA Super Bowl Game Day Thread ***

[UNT Eagles 2016]

It's Game 7, i.e. the Super Bowl of the NBA. Doesn't come around every year, though, so it's more special. Last time was in 2016. Nine long years ago. A pretty interesting year. And the underdog won it on the road, too, that time.

Go Pacers. While admittedly this version of OKC is much, much less nauseating and loathsome than the 2010-2016 versions of OKC, they're still the Thunderefs to a large extent and the Pacers have been a sweet underdog story with the ability to end it with an epic capstone tonight on the road in Methlahoma....

Go Pacers!

Watched Game 7 from a bar on Fry street in Denton, Texas last time. This time I'll be watching it from a Main Event in West Michigan. Still can't believe Kyrie's flat (earth) shot went in but Stef Curry's did not. For all the hype over LeBeta, Ohio still doesn't have an NBA championship without Kyrie hitting one of the all time greatest clutch shots.

I hope this game carries with tradition and neither team sniffs 100 points. Very much due for a defensive slugfest, hope the refs let 'em play for the most part.

Should be great game. May the best team win.

I only caught the 4th Quarter earlier in the series. But yah worthwhile series. Has the Raptors vibe.

Thunder are better but have immature Dynasty goals
Pacers know they won't return


OKC has growing reputation of aggressive defense and MVP lives on the free throw line.

Id love to see Pacers win tbh

That said. Alexander is a scoring machine. Being 90s boy I like the mid range game.

Downstairs was so dead during these playoffs.

Downstairs was so dead during these playoffs.

As was upstairs as has been the case since 2019, and probably will continue to be for the foreseeable future. Duncan, Popovich, Engelland, and Land are gone, Wrong has driven the team into the tank since taking over GM duties from Buford, Wemby can't play more than 25mpg and the rest of the team are just generic modern NPC-type streetballers who don't play much defense, chuck too many threes, and don't really care.

Methlahoma. Also the Sonics fans in the ass with no lube for cheering Timmy's injury twenty years ago. I don't forgive nor forget.
