NBA 2025-26 Season Thread: THE NY KNICKS ARE CHAMPIONS! BING BONG!

Hersey Hawkins ain’t walking through that door.

NOPE

detlef schrempf and derrick mckey walkin thru dat door to play 1v1 to decide the final ... anyone's guess who rangz there

Pacers had 24 vs 6 turnovers. Still won.

Carlisle is a boss who trusts his team. The ability and poise they have to hang tough and come back.

And I trust pacers halfcourt offense a lot more than okc’s.

what is origin of this meme, i see it a lot and always for sports

Detlef Schrempf ain't walking through that door.

(UCWIDT?)

((Did you see my pony die?))

refball ass **** in the final 5 minutes. Pathetic display

Somehow this is a lane violation.... on the Thunder? with 3 minutes left in a finals game

Literally next play they let Caruso get bulldozed then they call a tacky foul on him a few possessions later while Indiana is swarming

Ref ball just isn't a fun product to watch

Pacers 5-3 this playoffs when down 15+ lol

Vegas sharps: OKC -700

NBA expert pundits: OKC in 5

Me, a dumbass: I dunno these teams seem pretty evenly matched, and the Pacers are running unconscious late in games

Thanks!!!

mclovin you are a gentleman and a scholar

also, why are we loling at chet, i must have missed that

YES!!! God, when will OKC, the team most commonly victimized this year by the refs, finally get a fair shake!!!

r/nba ass nephew take my friend

Its vogue to whine about Shai but the stats dont back up your delusion

Jerry West ain’t walking through that door.

Pacers win the Championship and

Next time you visit NYC I’ll treat you to my favorite NY Pizza Joint!

SEA Detlef>IND Detlef

IND Mckey>SEA McKey

Entertainment 720 Detlef gets the tiebreaker imo

"Boom Baby" was also the catchphrase of the late Pacers HOF legend (coach/broadcaster) Bob "Slick" Leonard so it's a locally-flavored meme as well.

ETA: Leonard also led a telethon (while head coach) to save the team in Indiana in 1977 and that's some wild ****.

If OKC loses the Finals they're going to go after Giannis and then health permitting, win the next 3 championships virtually guaranteed.

JDub/Hartenstein/Isaiah Joe + Whatever picks to get it done
for
Giannis

Then use some assets to acquire another big man (preferably a stretch 5).

Giannis + SGA might even be a better duo than Prime Shaq and Kobe.

kobe would have hit that jumper with a few seconds left to put it up by 3

shaq would have grabbed the offensive board if kobe passed it to someone who missed

Nice fan fiction Rick.

Like Kobe would EVER pass with the game on the line!
