Possibly the worst heaver out of all the elite wing scorers I've ever seen in the modern era. Wade, Vince, Tmac, Kobe, LeBron etc all would've touched rim at least once.. lol he needs to work on that I feel like.

Another playoffs marred by injury. Tyrese's injury really showed in that third quarter

The pass heavy offenses make me nervous because there are so many more opportunities for turnovers. Like TJ’s possessions were good when he shot it. Turnovers when he tried to pass.

It also allows the role players to expend more of their energy on defense.

You can’t help but root for TJ when he is scoring like this BUT the announcing team is overlooking his 5 turnovers in a game 7. Take the good with the bad I guess.

This quarter is on rick. What was he thinking with his rotations. This looks over tbh. Now start playing 7 guys please. Shep, Mathurin and our backup Centers shouldn't see the court.

looks like the pacers magical run about to come to an end but honestly amazing it's even this close with neither Halliburton or Siakam playing that well.

I have counted 7 no calls that should be fouls. I’m putting together a YT video. This is blatant rigging


Only on the one side I’m sure.

It isn’t over yet.
When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?

Please advise….

Tainted "championship" for okc
But a GLORIOUS one for pacers if they can pull this one out. One for the ages.

I've heard it through the grapevine..NBA gods have already designated Los Angeles LAKERS as NBA Champions in near future. The destiny is real. TRUST ME.

Funny how they call every bs on the Pacers but they let OKC be as physical as they can be

Feels like this game was lost in the bizarre stretch where Carlisle rotated between Bryant, Bradley, and Turner but for some reason didn't bring in Siakam. It made no sense to hold him out that long. They lost a guard, not a big, what the hell was the logic there.

Feel for Nesmith, he seems to be one of the few on the court who sense this is the last game of the season.

Rick Carlisle 100% lost his team this game. Can't believe I'm saying that in a game 7 of the NBA finals

Halliburton is out for the game?? Can someone fill me in? I haven’t been watching the entire game.
