Game 7 It’s almost like I know what I’m talking about. If you remember from my Finals Preview , I predicted Pacers in 7. And here we are. Still an uphill battle for my 'Cers, but holy ****, this series has been unreal. From Haliburton’s game-winner in Game 1 to nonstop back-and-forth thrillers, this is what basketball fans dream about. One game. Everything on the line. Game 7 in OKC. Watching this run has been surreal. Not just because it’s the NBA Finals, but because my favorite team is at the heart of it. In Indiana, we don’t have a lot going for us sports-wise. The Colts have been a dumpster fire for seven straight seasons (in Danny Dimes we trust?), and honestly, things don’t look much better there.

NBA Finals Preview and Prediction Today marks the start of the 2025 NBA Finals between the Indiana Pacers and the Oklahoma City Thunder. A series that features two teams that have never won a championship, the first Finals to guarantee a first-time champion since Dwyane Wade and Shaq took down the Mavericks in 2006.

Basically, neither of these teams has won anything in close to 50 years. Which I personally love as a basketball fan, small market teams competing is the best thing for leagues. Even if the casuals think it will hurt ratings, it makes for the best basketball, which is all I care about.
