Did the Thunder Just Change the NBA Finals? | HARD PASS Ep. 2

Did the Thunder Just Change the NBA Finals? No Comeback, No Mercy: Thunder Dominate & Knicks in Chaos | HARD PASS Ep. 2

No comeback magic this time. The Thunder owned Game 2—but the real story? Haliburton vanished, SGA made history, and the NBA court looked like a CGI fever dream. Oh—and we’re settling the Warriors vs. Celtics debate once and for all.

Game 2 of the NBA Finals between the Pacers and Thunder took place on June 8, 2025.

HARD PASS Ep.2

Welcome to HARD PASS with Doug Kezirian, your courtside ticket to everything basketball — from buzzer-beaters to behind-the-scenes drama, scorching hot takes, and sharp analysis you won’t hear anywhere else.

On today’s episode:

- Thunder dominate Game 2 — was Haliburton already gassed?

- SGA makes history… but did anyone even notice under those CGI ads?

- And the ultimate debate: 2018 Warriors vs. the ’86 Celtics — who you got?

"We used to be a proper country… with huge logos."

I’m Doug Kezirian, and this is HARD PASS, brought to you by the Doug Kezirian Sports Network (DKSN).
