What an incredible series of basketball this has been. Phenomenal shooting, great defense, trading dominant performances. Most evenly matched Finals I can remember for a long time. Very happy as a basketball fan right now fidel-balling

    Fully agree.

    I respect the Thunder but I think these Pacers are incredible. Even if they lose, we were lucky to see them.

      I disrespect the Thunder as I see them as a stolen team on stolen land, and I wish them nothing but failure. They are good tho.

      Pacers ball is full team play like we haven’t seen since the '14 Spurs or '15 Warriors, it’s a thing of beauty.

    Rick Carlisle really cementing himself as a top 10-15 all time head coach. I think hes top 10 if he wins the series

      Two heavily underdog championships would be pretty incredible. I didn’t watch the '11 Mavs run, was it a similar kind of team offense? Is Siakam their Dirk?

        Dirk really doesn’t have a comparison on the Pacers team. The offense ran through him every play he was on the floor. Siakam is more like Rip Hamilton on the Carlisle Pistons.
