বিজয়ীই always the best team?

আমি উচ্চস্বরেই বলছি: NBA-এর ecosytem-এর ‘ভালো’য়, কোনও team-এর dominance-এর अপेक্ষা नা करे, पेन्सर्स के टाइটल हासিল कরা years-এ महत्त्वপূर्णতম।

সত্যি,আমরা only basketball-ইয়াহ্‌দখড়গণ! We’re here for stories. And Indiana is writing one that feels real.

থাণড়দলগণ new-gen wave-e ride-kore jai—high picks, fast ascension, and yes, some generous calls from referees. It’s fun watching them build something special. But let’s not pretend: their path has been smoothed by controversy. If they win it all? The backlash will be real—and deserved.

Meanwhile, the Pacers? They’re out here fighting through injuries, skepticism, and a legacy of being “the team that almost made it.” Their journey feels earned—like every possession was stolen from destiny itself.

And that matters more than stats.

Winning vs Fairness

Sportradar data shows officials have called 3.2 more fouls per game on opponents of teams with star rookies this postseason. The Thunder have drawn those calls at over double the league average. But guess who hasn’t? The Pacers—despite playing 15 games against top-tier offensive units.

That doesn’t mean they’re flawless—but it does mean their success could cleanse perception. A Pacers crown wouldn’t just be victory; it’d be redemption for fair play.
