Pacers best players MUST play like the best players on the floor Thursday night to beat the Thunder in Game Six. Turnovers CANNOT lead to Thunder offense, or it is academic. Kevin Pritchard made a trade today that sets him up for a trade or two this offseason to lift the roster a level. Colts place two players on Pete Prisco's top 100 - and while that does not seem like a lot, it's more than PFF will give the Colts - maybe by two! Fever tonight, which means another chance to see Caitlin Clark do something awesome!

Tyrese Haliburton is the toast of the NBA, but his shot would have been meaningless without Nembhard, Turner, Nesmith, Siakam, Toppin, Bryant, and Carlisle!

Munaf Manji and Mackenzie Rivers break down NBA Finals Game 1 between the Thunder and Pacers. The guys also give out best bets. On RJ Bell's Dream Preview NBA podcast, Munaf Manji and Mackenzie Rivers preview the 2024-2025 NBA Finals between the Oklahoma City Thunder and Indiana Pacers. Munaf opens by announcing the matchup and noting the Finals odds, with OKC favored at -700. He then covers breaking news that Tom Thibodeau has been fired by the Knicks despite leading them to back-to-back 50-win seasons and a conference finals appearance. Mackenzie says while surprising, it's easier to replace coaches than players in today's NBA, referencing possible Knicks replacements like Mike Malone and Jay Wright. Both agree that without a consistent second scorer next to Jalen Brunson, the Knicks remain flawed. The conversation shifts to Giannis Antetokounmpo's rumored interest in joining the Toronto Raptors. Mackenzie notes the Raptors' assets like Scottie Barnes and the ninth draft pick, making a trade feasible. They discuss how the Eastern Conference has opened up due to injuries to stars like Jayson Tatum and uncertainty around Giannis' future. Munaf suggests Giannis may seek an easier path to championships by moving to the East. Turning to the Finals, both highlight Indiana's surprising run, defeating an injury-riddled Bucks, the top-seeded Cavaliers, and the Knicks. Yet, Mackenzie emphasizes OKC's statistical superiority, noting their league-best +12.6 net rating compared to Indiana's +2.1. The 10.5-point gap is the second largest in seven years of playoff matchups. Historically, teams with such a margin almost always win quickly, often in five games or less. Munaf praises OKC's playoff-best defensive rating of 104.7, their dominance in steals, and their elite fast break defense. Both teams rank top-three in pace, but OKC's versatility gives them an edge. Mackenzie likens Indiana to a "AAA version" of OKC and predicts either a sweep or five-game series. They acknowledge Indiana's edge in 3-point shooting at 40.1%, while OKC ranks 13th out of 16 playoff teams. However, OKC's depth, led by SGA, Jalen Williams, Chet Holmgren, Lu Dort, Hartenstein, and Caruso, is seen as decisive. Munaf and Mackenzie analyze Game 1, with OKC favored by nine points. Mackenzie favors betting OKC in the first half due to their rest advantage (9 days vs Indiana's 4 days). Historical data shows well-rested teams go 22-7 straight up and 20-9 ATS in such scenarios. He notes SGA's dominance against Indiana, averaging 36 points, 8 rebounds, and 7 assists across three recent games, including a 45-point game. Munaf adds that OKC's defense, unlike the Knicks', is fully equipped to contain Indiana's offense, especially Tyrese Haliburton. They quiz each other on Finals experience: Caruso (Thunder), Siakam, Nesmith, and Bryant (Pacers). Debating the Eastern Conference Finals MVP, Mackenzie leans Siakam due to his two-way impact, though both acknowledge Halliburton's critical offensive role. Finally, they share best bets. Munaf selects OKC -9 for Game 1 and Siakam over 19.5 points, citing favorable matchups against OKC's interior defenders. Mackenzie agrees, adding that Siakam's playoff experience positions him well. For Finals MVP longshots, Mackenzie likes Siakam at 16-1, while Munaf backs Jalen Williams at 35-1 as a breakout candidate if defenses focus heavily on SGA. Learn more about your ad choices.

Tyrese Haliburton needs to shoot 16+ times to ensure a Pacers win, and he will deliver - as will Nesmith and Siakam. We still hope for Turner and Nembhard because we are cockeyed optimists. Colts have behaved a bit differently this offseason - and it needs to payoff for a variety of people and concerns. Fever tickets can be had for $7 each tonight - such is the value of Caitlin Clark!

Anthony Richardson worked out today, and looked good. What happens when under pressure remains to be seen - most revert to previous form. We'll see what happens with Richardson. Pacers ready for closeout Thursday? Haliburton was incredible last night, but Nesmith is so critical - and the way Kevin Pritchard acquired him might just be the greatest trade in team history! Ben Stiller might just be an OK guy - and not the Knicks version of Cubs "fan" John Cusack.

Tyrese Haliburton needs to shoot 16 times of more tomorrow night, and the Pacers need to bounce back as they did after losses to the Bucks and Cavs. Colts compete in the worst division in the NFL - and that is a good thing, because they might be able to win the AFC South.

TVC 690.4: Harry Castleman and Walter J. Podrazik, co-authors of Watching TV: American Television Season by Season, talk to Ed about how the phenomenon of “time shifting” for TV viewers began long before the era of streaming; why Jack Gould, television critic for the New York Times during the 1950s and '60s, can be considered one of the first “influencers” of television (and why Gould was particularly enamored of the many live dramatic anthology series that dominated the first decade of network TV); and why Michael Nesmith (The Monkees, Elephant Parts) was proud to be one of the influencers of television during the mid-to-late 1960s—an era that Nesmith once described to Wally as the “teen age” years of the medium. Watching TV: Revised Fourth Edition is available wherever books are sold through Syracuse University Press.
