For x number of years I knew Obi only as a guy who can dunk well, now he is doing this in the finals. Gotta love these stories

I may be wrong but I just am not seeing the specialness from Chet. He is good defensively but he needs to put on weight and need to get his @ss into the post and learn a grown man move.

The OKC weakness is precision and ball movement. Probably why Denver gave them problems, even depleted, Jokic is a maestro and that team knows skilled ball. Minnesota is sloppy and they don't have great execution. OKC tore that apart. The Pacers are a beast for them because Hali is great at taking care of the ball and the team overall is smart. Huge difference.
When luck shuts the door skill comes in through the window.

That's a no call when Caruso goes into Pas.

I thought they were just doing him a solid so he could play for a contract.

It’s every play…and it’s blatant.

Meanwhile they force Nembhard to defend with his hands behind his back because they’ll call a foul on him.


The discrepancy is ridiculous.

The only player in the NBA with a leash longer than Dort is Draymond.

Alex Caruso should NEVER get a touch foul in his favor with what he gets away with on the other end. Ball don't lie.

Holy crap. :lol:

I don't want to Jinx it. But wow, Indiana?? Pacers!?

They just might do this.
Their fanbase and franchise deserves it. They are the Jazz/Suns of the East. Well run FOs, usually competitive in their history, for years/decades but yet to win an NBA title so far.

The rise of Obi Toppin at Indy is probably a good enough justification why the Knicks had to fire Thibs tbh
