The Pacers path to the Finals included beating…
-Giannis & the Bucks
-Mitchell & the 64-win Cavs
-Brunson & the 3rd seeded Knicks
And if they beat the 68-win Thunder, the team with the best record in the NBA, does this make it the best underdog championship in the last 40 years?
If the pacers win somehow the coach will get fired or the players will be complete overhaul
For sure💯, at the start of the playoffs no one expected this team to be in the ECF let alone Finals😮💨
The Mavs 2011 Championship run is still the greatest. Beat a lot of hall of famer along the way. Rick Carlisle was also the coach.
It is still the Mavs.
Lakers v Celtics in the finals 40 years ago (1985), don’t think any of those teams were underdogs.
2011 Mavs?
2nd. 2011 Mavs still reigns supreme
It’s just funny how everybody now thinks okc will lose the finals.
Yall gonna chill its just 2-1.
That’s a reach it’s still 2011 Mavs
They’d be up there but fans definitely focused too much on the Pacers winning “only” 50 games while ignoring/not realising that they posted the leagues 2nd best record in 2025 🔥
Elite team orientated style of play, two-way abilities, inside-out, depth, coaching.
Pacers tick all the boxes.
