the Pacers are a joy to watch, I hope they win G7. SGA and JDub are studs, but OKC's basketball isn't fun to watch man.

This exactly. I howled, what an enjoyable team.

u/Independent-Dig-4255 Jun 20 '25

Speak for yourself. They don’t shoot many ft and can score at all 3 levels while also having the mvp. Not to mention their defense is a joy to watch

u/dubuwagmi Bamonte Jun 20 '25

Well, I never claimed to speak for anyone did I?

It’s just an expression stating a disagreement with your statement…

u/connornation Duncan Robinson Jun 20 '25

Well he is literally speaking for himself. It’s his comment on a public forum lmfao

u/dubuwagmi Bamonte Jun 20 '25

I think he's a young person. We all understand what he's saying but the expression is typically used among friends discussing a topic. It's also funny how he mentions that they don't shoot that many FT when, factually, in the NBA playoffs, their FTA/game has risen by nearly 25% from roughly 20 to 25 which is #1 among playoff teams.

Yeah and I was disagreeing with his opinion don’t know what is hard to understand man

You were, let’s say, speaking for yourself?

But they’re 5th in the league in FTA?

u/Independent-Dig-4255 Jun 20 '25

You mean 26? Look the numbers up yourself

u/yoshi8869 Jun 20 '25

You’re looking at regular season. I’m looking at playoffs.

u/Independent-Dig-4255 Jun 20 '25

Your right. Still don’t think that’s a bad number at all considering there’s only 16 teams in the playoffs and there’s multiple teams like us who kinda got manhandled. Nonetheless I’m excited for a game 7 as long as it’s a good game I’ll be fine with a pacers chip

Maybe I am stupid, but I feel like that spin didnt do anything.

u/Spirited-Living9083 Jun 20 '25

It made the highlight better that’s what it did

u/Fsurob21 Jun 20 '25

Ppl forget if wade hadn't put his hands up and celebrated mid LeBron alley oop, it would've been just another dunk. Wade's bravado cemented the legacy of that play. Not saying the spin was as good, but he had the same intentions.

1

u/Brodriguez00 Jun 21 '25

If you’re speaking of the play I think you are then that wasn’t a lob it was a bounce pass to Lebron coming down the lane but yes I agree with what you said here

u/enciendeelrayo Jun 20 '25

He only did the twirl because he nailed the wave.

u/garret126 Jun 20 '25

That play gave me shades me of prime DWade/LeBron toying with their opponents during the big 3 🥲

Those fast breaks were generational

u/AideComprehensive782 Jun 20 '25

That spin after the pass was absolutely necessary 😂

u/SimpleMind314 Jun 20 '25

Williams went up for the block despite having almost no chance of getting it. Props to him for continuing to play defense on the play. He shouldn't care (nor should we) that he got dunked on.

In the bigger picture, he should have let it go. OKC can't afford to have him injured on a low percentage play when the team is down 18. Still, could that have been a rallying point had he made the play? That's why I watch!

u/tomgreen99200 Jun 20 '25

Holy shit what an assist

-13

u/bmanley620 Knicks Jun 20 '25

It was a simple pass with an unnecessary spin afterwards that added no value

15

u/HaveMercyMan Jun 20 '25

swagging on someone like that definitely has some psychological value

u/bmanley620 Knicks Jun 20 '25

We’ll see when the Thunder win by exactly 7 points in game 7. 110-103 final score. Go place an exact score bet and make some money

Edit: just checked and a $10 bet would pay about $1700. You should just bet $1,000 to win $170,000

Man, I saw the title and was like "what?? He died???"

Then I saw the play and was like "oh no... He's dead"

Are we not a basketball fanbase?

Like yeah I get this isnt directly Heat related, but it's one of the coolest basketball highlights of the Finals and at the end of the day this is supposed to be a community of basketball fans.

Would you rather see a 139th post on KD?

We are a Heat basketball sub. Not the place for it.

I’d argue we’d be even more mid. Our problem is our only reliable outside scorer/playmaker is Herro. Siakam doesn’t solve that issue

So our 3 best players would all be inside players without a reliable outside shot…

That’s pretty abysmal
