Susan Reeves+FollowSGA Crowned Finals MVP After Thunder’s WinWhat a night for the Thunder and their fans! Shai “SGA” Gilgeous-Alexander just capped off a legendary run by snagging the Finals MVP after OKC’s 103-91 win over the Pacers in Game 7. The turning point? Tyrese Haliburton’s early Achilles injury, which really shifted the momentum. SGA’s 29-point performance sealed the deal, and now he’s got the Bill Russell trophy to show for it. Thunder finally bring the title home—how far can this squad go next year? #ThunderUp #NBAFinals #SGA #Sports #Basketball40Share
Nicole Obrien+FollowKD Reacts to Thunder’s Historic Title WinThunder fans, how about that Game 7? The OKC squad just clinched their first NBA title, and Slim Reaper himself couldn’t help but join the celebration online. KD’s viral post after the win had everyone talking, especially his shoutout to Lil Hartenstein. Love seeing Durant give props to this 2025 Thunder team—he called them 'historically great' and praised their all-around game. Do you think this squad could take on KD’s 2012 crew? Let’s hear your takes! #ThunderUp #NBAFinals #KevinDurant #Sports #Basketball64Share
Theresa Boyd+FollowMcConnell’s Tunnel Moment Sparks DebateDid anyone else catch that emotional scene with T.J. McConnell after Game 7? The ESPN cam got a little too close as Indiana’s spark plug sought comfort post-defeat, and his loved one had to step in for privacy. After Haliburton’s Achilles injury, McConnell gave us everything—10 straight in the third, hustle plays, and heart. But Shai and OKC’s defense were just too much. Thoughts on the broadcast boundaries and McConnell’s Finals run? #NBAFinals #Pacers #Thunder #Sports #Basketball2121Share
Brian Gaines+FollowHaliburton Guts It Out—But At What Cost?Pacers fans, what do you make of The General’s (Tyrese Haliburton) gutsy decision to play through a two-week calf injury in this do-or-die Game 6? Docs say he shouldn’t even be on the court, but here he is, fighting for Indy’s season. He’s clearly not 100%, and the Thunder are forcing him left all night. Can Haliburton’s heart and Siakam’s support push the Pacers to a Game 7, or is this injury too much to overcome? #Pacers #NBAFinals #Haliburton #Sports #Basketball00Share
Susan Reeves+FollowIs Hali a Superstar If Pacers Win It All?Stephen A. is stirring the pot again, saying Tyrese Haliburton still isn’t a superstar—even if the Pacers pull off a Game 7 win and grab the chip. Hali’s clutch gene has been undeniable, but his scoring’s been up and down, and Siakam’s been the real Finals MVP so far. Do you agree with Stephen A., or does Hali’s postseason magic make him a superstar in your eyes? Let’s hear it, Pacers Nation! #Pacers #NBAFinals #Haliburton #Sports #Basketball00Share
Patrick Gonzales+FollowJDub: Next-Gen Pippen or Something Greater?Thunder fans, how about JDub’s 40-piece in Game 5? With SGA as the lead, Jalen Williams is drawing serious Pippen vibes—so much so that the legend himself says Williams could be even greater! Pippen told ESPN he sees himself in JDub, but thinks the modern game gives him a shot to surpass what he did with MJ. Do you buy the "new-age Scottie" hype, or is JDub carving his own lane? Let’s talk before Game 6! #ThunderUp #NBAFinals #JalenWilliams #Sports #Basketball00Share
guerrajohn+FollowCarlisle’s Fiery Timeout: Setting the ToneDid anyone else catch Coach Carlisle’s explosion at Obi after that missed closeout—even with the Pacers up 30+? That moment said everything about Indy’s mindset heading into Game 7. Carlisle’s championship pedigree (remember the Mavs vs. King James?) means he won’t let anyone coast, not even Toppin after a 20-point night. Love seeing that level of accountability—no room for slip-ups against a Thunder squad that’s been elite all year. Thoughts on Carlisle’s tough love? #Pacers #NBAFinals #Carlisle #Sports #Basketball10Share
Patrick Gonzales+FollowHaliburton’s Game 6 Status: Will He Suit Up?Pacers Nation, all eyes are on Tyrese “The Maestro” Haliburton as we head into a do-or-die Game 6 against the Thunder. Coach Carlisle says Haliburton’s strained calf means he’s a true game-time decision—expect him to be listed as questionable. With Indy trailing 3-2, TJ McConnell could see starter minutes if Haliburton can’t go. Will Haliburton gut it out for the home crowd, or will McConnell lead the charge? Let’s hear your takes! #Pacers #NBAFinals #Haliburton #Sports #Basketball00Share

It’s the first time since 2013 we’ll see the full intros live from OKC, and fans are pumped to get a taste of that old-school Finals magic. While we’re still waiting on classic court decals and the gold scorebug, this move is a win for everyone craving more Finals atmosphere. Can SGA and the Thunder ride the home crowd to a 3-2 lead, or will the Pacers spoil the party? #NBAFinals #ThunderUp #GoldBlooded #Sports #Basketball20Share
Amy Tanner+FollowChet’s Grit: No Ankle Worries for Game 5Thunder fans, breathe easy—Chet ‘The Unicorn’ Holmgren says his ankle’s good to go for Game 5! After that scary twist early in Game 4, he shook it off and locked down the paint, making Haliburton and the Pacers pay late. OKC’s comeback was epic, outscoring Indy 31-17 in the fourth. With Chet moving well in practice, expect him to anchor the Thunder’s defense again. Looks like the Pacers’ perimeter hunt backfired! #ThunderUp #NBAFinals #ChetHolmgren #Sports #Basketball00Share
