Is Siakam a HOFer?

Agree on Chet.

Williams hasn’t even that bad compared to his garbage 2024 playoffs.

The biggest problem is they’ve got absolutely nowhere near enough 3 point shooting in this series.

Indiana has literally baited them into running a 2006 Kobe like offence with SGA just taking contested middies and not generating looks for others.

Their rampant regular season defence isn’t clamping Indiana and it’s taking away a lot of easy buckets for them as well.

SGA is being dared to go for 50.

Yep. Signs were there in game 1 when SGA shot like 20 shots in the first half and the Pacers just shot their way back into it.

Bad from SGA and poor Thunder coaching

I think OKC is gonna take this.

The amount of energy Pacers dumped in the 3rd quarter might hit them back.

7 point lead for IND, but it feels like 17 because everytime OKC gets a bucket IND always answers

People comparing SGA and Kobe are nuts… Kobe would of feasted on Nemhard just like he did on Courtney Lee

This feels like game 1, but in favour of OKC

Okay first off that's not a foul. Second off, even if it were there's no way that was in the act of shooting.

Know what I love about the Indy defense?

They don't jump to contest shots, unless they see you jump first.

That's coaching. Its crazy that more coaches don't drill that into players.

Jumping at a pump fake probably costs teams 8 points a game.

Nah Doris. If he doesn't reach they still call it and he doesn't stop the shot.

Indy got close to a title, but it's over.

2-2 OKC going home.

Might get to 7, but the series is over.

Indy had a great run.

Holmgren spins into Nesmith and that's a foul? Interesting. AKA, "horsecrap."
