The Thunder were huge betting favorites before the series started. I'm guessing that a lot of bettors are doubling down and thinking that, if the Thunder are going to win the series, they pretty much have to win Game 4.

agreed - but the pacers have avoided game 7s and have proven to be closers - okc can win tonight no doubt but they better leave no doubt - no door open - no chance

Have you been watching? OKC hasn't lost back to back playoff games and played more established teams. You picked against them virtually every round.

Denver over OKC and Minnesota over OKC while now going Indiana over OKC. That is virtually every round, 3 of 4.

Really? A poll from a couple weeks after you pivoted when Minnesota didn't actually figure out OKC as you claimed.

Again, cope how you want. Do I need to go back and pull your hyping Denver also and how Jokic was the real MVP who was going to carry them or are you at least man enough to own that you said that? Going through your post history is sad enough and I'd rather not have to but I can and will since I am not lying. You've been wishy washy all post season, pivoting regularly. But you wanted to get personal so here we are. Now tell us what day the playoffs started because your screenshot doesn't match your claim, liar.

looks like once the timberwolves figure a team out...

[BirdGangThing]

okc bringing full court pressure

 

[BirdGangThing]

indiana 9-12 from field to start the game

 

[BirdGangThing]

okc needs to get dort like a dozen 3s tonight

 

[Mainstreet]

I see the Thunder are going big, starting Hartenstein.

 

[BirdGangThing]

coach finally deciding to watch sga's minutes - bit early tho lol

 

[Mainstreet]

OKC wants to turn the ball over after tieing the game at 24.

 

[BirdGangThing]

wow siakam had himself a quarter 10 pts 4 steals 2 boards and an assist

 

[Mainstreet]

Both teams realize it starts with defense. The Pacers have shown they can play it, too.

 

[Mainstreet]

Ironically, it's a high scoring quarter with the Pacers leading 35-34.

right? they're playing good defense and getting steals but lead to quick outlet passes

 

[BirdGangThing]

okc coach rested sga early only to play him against the pacers bench and it's working - the indiana starters play him tougher
