Why can't Hali just chuck the 3. What did the dribbling supposed to accomplish?

This is the problem with these NBA teams without smart veteran point guards. No one to settle them down and they blow leads and make dumb decisions.

This game has been much less entertaining than the first two, but that's how New York has to win, so credit to them.
All human life on the earth is like grass, and all human glory is like a flower in a field. The grass dries up and its flower falls off, but the Lord’s word endures forever.

it's just terrible officiating. The foul on Siakam's block was terrible too.

“The other day I saw one of his games. He was running with the ball at a hundred per cent full speed, I don’t know how many touches he took, maybe five or six, but the ball was glued to his foot. It’s practically impossible.”

I usually only care about the western conference, but this series has been pure cinema. I shall put respect on the Easter conference name after this

Pacers choked this one away. There's been 2 choke jobs this series. One by each team.

That’s the same play as game 1 except Brunson doesn’t try to pass to OG this time. This time he holds onto the ball and we should get this win

Modified stack for sideline inbounding is an interesting playcall.

I would blame it more on Thibs being forced to bench Brunson due to foul trouble

A 20 point lead basically guarantees the other team is going to win.

It was weird. Hali was kind of gun shy for a lot of the 4th quarter. Strange

Carlisle has mellowed out in his golden years lol.
2000s Carlisle would have lit him up for that shot.

He really does try to lean into fans believing in the announcers jinxing free throws, doesn’t he?
When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?
Please advise….
