I think OKC wins this one comfortably, but who the hell knows with Indiana.

Don Nelson looks great at 85

OKC romping, Indy is buried. No way they can come back in this one.

Hali passive to a fault again.

This is what I more or less expected in game 1. I fell asleep with OKC up only 6 points less and they lost. This feels much more assured but honestly Indy has voodoo ****.

If Indy comes back to make this less than 6 points, win or lose, they win the series.

If it stays 20 points or so, I think OKC takes it in 6-7.

OKC way less petrified on offence tonight. Coaches must have gotten onto them about rebounding as well because they've swarmed to the ball in this one.

It was small, but them getting up like 3-4 shots in the last 30 seconds of the 3rd was a big change in mentality when they could have held for a late shot on all of them

OKC playing the clock is starting to get them into trouble.

When I want to express a fondness for Josh Giddey or Joe Ingles or anybody from that there continent-country and I can't remember their name but still wish to express enthusiasm towards them that is when I say Australian Rules feel free to use no big deal

Thought they might go the Giannis connection route but apparently not.

Pelicans and Sixers are not 2 front offices I'd be looking to for help.

I guess he's staying on the roster then. Unless they're taking back some even worse contract which still gives them moderate savings this yr.

I’d be shocked if they got a 1st for it but there are some pretty dumb GMs out there.

Never understood this board love of players who are a ticking time bomb and have shown they don't last anywhere they go despite all the god given talent.

Like I hope he can turn it around, but i definitely dont feel good rooting for him and wasnt clamoring him as a guy we should go after. If the Bucks him walk for nothing, I wont be posting how upset I am. I'm fine giving guys chances, but it seemed like a lot of people on this board just ignore the lockerr oom aspect with these guys and don't understand why the Bucks wanted a Larry Sanders, Christian Wood, Boogie, etc gone despite their obvious talent.

(Hell even add a Jabari to the list. Guy probably could still be in the league with the right mindset)
