Pacers/Thunder Series Recap

[Tanko]

Recapping the series.

• Game 1: Thunder had the game well under control until late in 4Q and collapsed. PACERS WIN
• Game 2: Thunder in control the entire game. OKC WIN
• Game 3: Tight battle entire game until midway through 4Q when Pacers pull away. PACERS WIN
• Game 4: Tight game until late in the 3rd when Pacers built a 9 pt lead to end 3Q. End up losing game in last two minutes. OKC WIN
• Game 5: Thunder with a comfortable lead until early in 4Q. Pacers catch up to trail by only two. Thunder then pull away rest of the game. OKC WIN
• Game 6: Pacers with the easy win. Never really close after 1Q. PACERS WIN

Each team has had an "easy" win game (OKC Gm2, IND Gm 6).
Each team has lost a game in the closing minutes (OKC Gm 1, IND Gm 4).
Each team has "stepped up" in 4Q to take the lead back or pull farther away (IND Gm1 & Gm 3, OKC Gm4 & Gm 5).

It is kind of tough to read what kind of game to expect in game 7.
I would think IND will keep it close. OKC is young and might be a little "nervous" about a game 7, especially after game 6 results.

Line is 7.5 today. Wish I'd taken it at the open of 8.5.

I wouldn’t dare take either team ATS for any significant amount

Will probably find something to parlay with OKC ML

How much you got on the line in total for them to win the series ?

Tanko starting to take the NBA playoffs a lot more serious in his later years as a handicapper .

A little. I don't really do NBA but for game 7 I thought I'd check a few things.

Thank you I love to read it, even when my head is currently “out of water“ regarding my action.

Thunder poorly coached

Thunder poorly coached

One advantage the Pacers actually have in this series imo is that Rick Carlisle is the superior coach in this series. Whether that shows up in game 7 or not remains to be seen but he has outcoached Mark Daigneault for most of this series. If this game is close in the 4th Quarter I'd be nervous if I were an OKC fan because Daigneault's late game coaching is shaky sometimes.
