    They have the assets to make it happen this time.

    They had the assets last time. ACQUIRING the assets isn’t the problem FAMS…..it’s RETAINING said assets.

    We aren't talking about the same things.

    They have like 30 picks. They can navigate things if they want to be cheap much better this time.

    Pacers having an extended intro for their starting 5. Last home game of the season for them regardless. I think this one goes to the Thunder and they avoid an elimination game in these Finals.

    The Thunder look out of sorts. Kinda wonder if there is too much time between games. Everyone seems rusty at the beginning of the game.

    What a difference a half makes. This is as bad as I've seen the Thunder play in these playoffs to this point in this game. I think they're capable of an epic comeback but at this point I'd imagine we'll see a game 7.

    Obviously this isn't over but yeah they have not played well. I'm betting they will make a run in the second half.

    I thought it was just that Harden wanted his own team - that's why they broke up the last time.

    Nah, Harden was pretty bummed if I remember correctly. I think all three of those guys and Jeff Green thought they were going to do big things together. If my recollection is correct it was due to the fact that all three guys would have been max extensions.

    Yikes! I don't think that run is coming. Looks like the Thunder were a no show. Should be an interesting game 7. I'd be shocked if it's another Indy blowout, either very competitive or a Thunder win going away.

    Pacers much deeper and a better shooting team, however, OKC has a superb D. Going to come down to offense against defense.
    Pacers in 7

    It's so proud to see that graphic every time they put it up about the 77 Blazers. Historical team that will NEVER be forgotten.

    I predict the Pacers are going to win Game 6.

    I believe they prefer to be called the Cers.

    I simply cannot imagine the Pacers going into Oklahoma and winning game 7 but I sure hope they do.
