I wish all fanbases could be like that. A crowd that knows the players and knows basketball makes a huge difference.

Yes, mid/small markets are like this. Wild crowd in lower levels. They can get seats at good prices lol
Spurs, Bucks, Cavs, Pistons , Jazz, Suns, Nuggets, etc fans were loud in the NBA Finals at home.

There is no answer for TJ McConnell

If he was 6'6" literally would be the GOAT.

Okc is so goddamn overrated. The way Perkins talks about them like it’s Michael Jordan’s Bulls is a joke.

I mean OKC isn't rebounding. Pacers are quicker to the ball.

2016. but this one is whole another level of meltdown

Game 6 in 2016 doesn't look like a blowout on paper. The Cavs beat the GSWs 115-101.

I can't remember that game...maybe it was a game where GSW were out of it the entire time and the final score didn't look as bad as it was?

Watching the game with my daughters and we've started calling McConnell "Roy Kent". Don’t know if that's a thing, but it should be. He's here, he's there, he's every...

The best thing about Indiana is they know they can win the title. OKC will have to break them or it’s going to be tight butts lol

Thanks, Pacers-- if any good news out of this, it's that the NBA season is not over!

Pacers obviously needed this win, but they also needed to recover some confidence. Mission accomplished. Hoping for a tight game 7.

With those looks and moves McConnell can have his Bourne identity type of franchise tbh

Game 6 momentum like this doesn't just disappear in Game 7

As long as they stick around up to the 3rd quarter (no big double digit leads) in that Game Seven, i feel they have a shot at stealing this.

Denver has the answer for TJ, it's Braun

Haliburton about to have its way with the league.

We failed to stop this Super Villain.

The ideal of Mitch McConnell being a finals MVP makes me laugh but may happen lol

Are we getting Scott Foster for game 7?

YOU GUYS! Who wins the big game?
