    NY waving the white flag. Great mature win by the Pacers . I felt that if NY won this game, they would've won G7. NY losing game 1 changed this series.

    Have to give Indy their flowers it's fun to see a young team with an uptempo and relentless style make it to the Finals. Still have OKC winning it, but I can see Indy forcing it to 6 games if they can take care of the ball and score against OKC

    NY can hold their heads up. Exceeded expectations. They just ran out of gas. Not sure about their ceiling. Having your best 2 offensive players be liabilities on defense doesn't help. I like Bridges, but he's not creating off the dribble. Hart didn't have a good series. They need more depth

        I'm looking forward to the Finals(even though I won't be able to watch it.). Both teams are top 6 in pace, not heavily reliant on high volume of threes, ball movment. Still think Thunder in 5 or 6. Thunder don't have weak links on defense like Knicks and Thunder have the youth and energy to keep up with Pacers pace. Thunder have multiple players to throw at Haliburton and Siakam.


        It is crazy looking at so1me team stats now compared to 10 years ago. 10 years ago, the highest PPG was 110 and Three Point attempts were 32.7 a game. Now 24 teams average over 110 and lowest 3PA were 31.9. It's a different game..

            The Thunder defense is just swarming, man. I thought all the guards and ball handlers on Indiana would nullify OKC aggressiveness a little. It hasn't at all.

            Rick Carlisle is gonna need to figure out some sort of counter or this is gonna be a short series.

              Haliburton needs to be more aggressive. 19 turnovers in a half is crazy

              Wish they would've upped the Finals presentation. No logo on the court, no anthem, no finals patch, etc. Has a regular season in March vibes.

                I don't enjoy this pace at all. I mean, good for OKC because it works for them, but ugh.

                  In other news, the re-design really killed the forums, damn. I wonder how steep has been the decline in traffic.

                    Lack of a go-to veteran might cost OKC. They shrank big time down the guts of the game and Indiana is just something else.

                        Yeah, it's been a complete downgrade and might be the death nail to the forums. I hope they can figure things out, but it sounds like this is how things are gonna stay.

                          I'm not even a big fan of his, but all those Twitter fingers that call him 'corny' and the players that voted him ''most overrated' are looking mighty stupid.

                            The forums were dying beforehand, but yeah the switch might have sped it up a bit.

                            Someone made a significant development screw up, take a peeksie at that URL: forums.operationsports.com/forums/forum/...
                            Like jesus christ that is bad. To not lose engagement after these migrations you need to do everything possible to keep people's bookmarks and auto completes work. Its not hard to add a 301 Redirect but instead old URLs return error messages

                            (and this was on top of adding fantasy talk to the forum name but without including a 301 redirect. Breaking URLs twice in such a short time is like you are trying to make it hard for your users)

                              I went to sleep at half time, knew I should have stayed up. This is probably where OKC came back to bite them.


                              I agree about the forums. I have noticed since the start of May when the forums were upgraded, I noticed that the traffic is significantly lower. The forums has been working better lately. Not sure of any logistical issues, but I kind of feel that I wish the changes to the forums were completely worked out before the switch over.

                                They heard the noise and decided to put digital trophies on the court lol. This is the NBA Finals, it should be promoted like it is, not a regular season game
