Episode 88: NBA Finals Preview - Indiana Pacers Vs OKC Magpies!
Description
In this episode of Yamology, Matthew, Alex, and Yonny break down the 2025 NBA Finals matchup between the Oklahoma City Thunder and the Indiana Pacers. Matthew jokingly renames the Thunder The Magpies—because with the way they rack up steals, it feels like they're out there looting possessions. It’s a fun name for a team that’s been relentless on defense all year.
We dig into how these two teams match up, especially the defensive assignments—who’s guarding who, and how each side might adjust as the series unfolds. We talk about Shai Gilgeous-Alexander’s monster season and how he played in the Thunder’s two regular season wins over the Pacers in December and March.
We also go back over the Conference Finals, reviewing how each team got to this point. There's some love for the role players, some speculation on rotations, and yes—we even get into the uniforms (it’s blue vs. yellow, and we’re here for it).
It’s a smart, slightly chaotic, fully loaded Finals preview—exactly what Yamology does best. Tap in and let’s yam.
