Who had a Luckier Path to the NBA Finals? Pacers or Thunder? #nba
who had a luckier path to the finals the Pacers or the Thunder in the first round the Thunder faced an injured Grizzlies team in which John Morant was only able to play three games in the second round during a crucial game six Aaron Gordon suffered a hamstring injury and while he did play in game seven he clearly was no longer himself 100% in the Western Conference Finals they were able to dodge Steph Curry and the Warriors since Steph got hurt in the second round but the Wolves themselves were relatively healthy in the finals Tyrese hurt his calf in game five and he’s currently questionable for game six rick Carile said the Pacers are preparing to play without him in a worst case scenario as for the Pacers in their first round Damen Lillard was only able to participate in three games and was on limited minutes that gave the Pacers a huge edge in the second round both Darius Garland and Evan Mobley missed crucial games that would have turned the tide of the series darius especially since he only played three games after a toe injury during the Eastern Conference Finals like the Thunder they essentially dodged the more experienced opponent as Jason Tatum suffered an Achilles injury but the Knicks like the Wolves were relatively healthy and now for the finals both teams have been relatively healthy until recently Tyrese suffered a calf injury so who’s luckier

"Injured grizzlies team" as if the grizzlies were even going to win the series 🥀🥀🥀
Whose here after game 6 👉
If they didn’t get those injuries, the thunder wouldn’t be in the finals or Pacers. It’ll probably be Golden State and Celtics or grizzlies and Golden State
I can t stop smiling watching this
Pacers
Correct me if I'm wrong but GSW have the best record against Thunder in the regular season but idk, it is the playoffs though
Noo pacer must win 😢
not to mention SGA gets all the refs help and Haliburton was getting no calls just like Curry got no calls, and how ANT got very limited calls.
Obv okc
The reason that the thunder isn’t as dominant in the playoffs is that their RS dominance came from depth, while playoffs rely on stars.
SGA/Jalen Williams has a +11 net rating together, which is good, but consider that 2013 LeBron and Wade has a +14 net rating, and that 2017 Steph and KD has a +21 (lol) net rating playing together, you sort of see why the Thunder had to play two game 7s this run despite being the best net rating in NBA RS history
Oh the Wolves were at full health they're just trash, Wolves fan here btw.
These results would have still been the same
Letd be fr, knicks were still up 3-1 on the celtics, even if tatum wasnt injured, it was still knicks in 6
Tatum’s injury didn’t decide the outcome of any series. The Celtics had already blown their series against the Knicks before Tatum got hurt.
If Aaron Gordon was 100% for the whole series the nuggets would be in the finals
Pacers
M
ONG there was like an 80% the warriors would have made the finals if Curry stayed healthy
Knicks were putting belt to ass on the Celtics, that aint dodging, we just expedited the process there. Also the Cavs had everyone back for that 40 point lead we dropped on 'em by half, no excuses for health when they played their worse together
OKC 100%
It’s crazy that after all the load managing and resting, injuries are still down to dumb luck sometimes
Thunder winning 109-101
Tyrese just got hurt again…
Bro i cried when pacers just lost
Who is here after game 7 and tyreese tore his Achilles
Even if Ja didn't get hurt, I highly doubt they would have won the series. The first 2 games were proof of that.
Bad take bub hold this L
Bro had me at doged Steph Curry
3 torn Achilles in the playoffs
pacers 100% fym, they didn’t play a good team until the conference finals
Pacers lost 😢
And now Game 7 happened😢
OKC built an incredibly deep well rounded team nuggets were a 6 man roatation that went to 2 game 7s ofc they gonna get injured
halliburton’s calf aged like milk
Cavs weren’t injured like that garland missed first game still won in 5 too
Pacers.
Nobody was beating the thunder anyway besides the pacers if only Tyrese didn’t tear his Achilles 🙏🙏
Ja getting injured wasnt luck that was Dort skills
People who are here after Tyrese Achille tear
👇
The one who had scott foster as his teammate.
boston was already losing the series pacers werent gonna play them
Thunder
This nba final is a cheap ring.
Love the cry babies cope
The knicks were spanking the Celtics with Tatum 😂
Scott foster: i am the luckiest sixth man of the year
Why is Aaron Gordon scratching his arse
If yall truly thought the warriors were gonna do anything outside of losing to the wolves then you're just lying to yourself. They should've lost to the rockets
