    Depth has decided these playoffs the past few years, so this isn't a Mickey Mouse championship. They built a roster made to last. Also I dont think your analysis on the Pacers (who also have amazing depth) is entirely accurate. They aren't a team that much more reliant on Haliburton than OKC is...

    I never see you guys talk to me on discord :( The 2025 NBA Finals will be a display of the best defense versus the best offense. Both teams have primarily relied on depth and dominating around the margins; especially through forcing turnovers. I foresee the Pacers facing an uphill battle this...

    Idk about being perfectly identical. They're both very deep teams and built through the draft, but they couldn't be further apart in style of play. This has been the formula for quite some time really. Denver is another good example as well as the Butler Heat years.

    The Pacers pulling 3 of the best statistical comebacks in NBA history is evidence of an offense so sharp and connected that opponents must play defense every millisecond that ticks on the court.

    She can't stop picking the right side I thought I'd lean a certain way as time went on but I genuinely think these two teams are equal. Thibodeau in the finals??? Imagine that since the Derrick Rose years. Winner of the series is decided by who who dictate their pace more: The Pacer's high...

    Yuna may pick the Wolves but I don't lean in that direction. Then again, my record in predicting them has been zero. They play way above their regular season perception. They got the size to defend OKC, but what about the turnovers? OKC has forced more turnovers than any playoff team since 07...

    I just need to stop attempting to predict the Timberwolves and Pacers

    Honestly I've been in these topics so long I never quite put names to opinions. It's just been an old tug-of-war I've had with Luka in any general conversation with Luka fans. Was he once athletic? No doubt. His first playoff series was amazing. He still had defensive and temper issues then. He...

    Can we never say Luka is a good defender ever again

    The only way the Timberwolves could have ever outclutched the Lakers is when Redick plays the starters the entire 2nd half

    Pistons can really win this series. The Knicks' offense has been a mess for the majority of the quarters played up to this point. They just need to sharpen the offense a bit.
