Turner got used to being dominated by KAT that Chet is looking a lot more manageable for him now.

he's just a really good player. And he's one of those players that picks it up when it matters most. Some guys regress in playoffs...he turns it up.

Feeling just isn't there man. No finals logos, no intensity, two wack franchises, etc. Knicks really goofed

Both teams are annoying. OKC gets endless worship & Indy has Haliburton.

Remember when we tried to trade for Caruso? Wonder where we’d be with him.

The Thunder aren’t even forcing turnovers, Pacers are playing like dummies.

Did we try? What a bonus he'd have been instead of Burks and Bogdanovic

So much for Indy’s composure but OKC should keep up the attack.

Before we traded for Mikal I believe we offered Chicago two first rounders.

its just impossible to gameplan for a team that has no weak defenders...like Indy is trying to matchup hunt and unless they get a small on siakam on a switch they can't get a good shot.

Caruso is a damn menace...and they got him for Josh freakin Giddey

IHart proving a great boost from the bench not having to be matched up with Turner. Good coaching indeed.

Oh wow. I guess Bulls wanted Giddey not just picks. Caruso would've been great, unless Thibs burned him out
