Pacers 3-3 Thunder, if Pacers win 7, then FMVP will be very difficult to choose

In Game 6 of the NBA Finals, the Pacers defeated the Thunder 108-91, chasing the big score to 3-3. Both sides will enter the 7th battle to decide the final championship.

In this game, the Thunder hoped to win the championship directly away, while the Pacers hoped to drag into the 7th. Halliburton went on the court with an injury. In the end, the Pacers suppressed the Thunder at home and easily won. In terms of data, Toppin scored 20 points, 6 rebounds and 2 steals, Nemhard scored 17 points, 4 assists and 3 steals, Siakam scored 16 points, 13 rebounds and 3 assists, Halliburton scored 14 points and 5 assists, McConaughey scored 12 points, 9 rebounds, 6 assists and 4 steals.

Alexander scored 21 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists, while Jaylen Williams scored 16 points and 3 rebounds.

Halliburton is still "solemn" in terms of data, and Siakam is not very outstanding, and if the Pacers win the championship, it will be very difficult to choose FMVP. In the first 6 games, Halliburton and Siakam's data are as follows:

Siakam, averaging 19.83 points, 8.33 rebounds, 4 assists, 1.67 steals and 1.33 blocks per game;

Haliburton, averaging 14.83 points, 5.33 rebounds, 6.83 assists, 1.33 steals and 0.67 blocks per game.

It can be seen that in addition to assists, Siakam can be said to have an overall advantage. Especially in terms of scoring, it is indeed a bit low to win FMVP by 14.83 points per game. Iguodala also had 16.3 points back then.

Not only that, Halliburton's performance in individual games in the Finals was not ideal, with 5 turnovers in Game 2 and 4, and 0 of 4 shots in Game 5 had only 4 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists.

Overall, Siakam is more stable, with scores of more than 15 points in each game, and 3 games with scores of more than 20 points.

However, Halliburton made outstanding contributions in the three games that the Pacers won:

Game 1, Halliburton won the quasi-triple-double

Game 3, Halliburton had 22 points, 9 rebounds and 11 assists, and was also the only 20+ score in the series.

Game 6, Halliburton scored 14 points and 5 assists, but the plus-negative value was as high as +25, the highest in the team.

This is very difficult to choose. It should be Siakam when looking at the data and stability; but it should be Halliburton when looking at the key to winning. Not only that, there is also the surprise weapon - TJ McConaughey! In the first 6 games, McConaughey averaged 11.3 points, 3.2 rebounds, 4.5 assists and 2.3 steals per game. He is undoubtedly the Pacers' surprise. Even if McConaughey played more time in Game 4 and Game 5, the Pacers might win the game.

If the Pacers win, then the FMVP will be very difficult to choose, and no matter how you choose, the highlight of this FMVP is not big enough, and may be one of the most dull FMVPs in NBA history.

As a comparison, in the 2019 Finals, Siakam's data was 19.8 points, 7.5 rebounds and 3.7 assists, even better than this season, but FMVP was Leonard who performed better at the time.

In the finals of this season, Siakam's data is not only not as good as himself in 2019, but also as many of the previous second and third leaders.
