Meanwhile SGA pushes his defender with his right arm every drive and. . . . Crickets.
Yeah in hyper slow mo 5x he’s pushing the **** out of Nesmith onto the ground in that travel step back and Doris Burke is doing tricks on it like no mention at all it was an obvious push off.

Sounds like a blown opportunity by Indiana. Reminds me of the Celtics in 2022. Had game 4 at home up 2-1 and got Curry’d.
Pivotal game in the series that truly shifted the overall outcome. Getting similar vibes from this game 4.

I motion to REALGM to ban all users who make definitive, lazy and reactionary threads if the thread made doesn't come to fruition.
It would save every one of us alot of nonsense from users and their look at me post.

Nembhard won the derp award tonight. His sloppy play killed their momentum in the first and fourth quarters.

Welp. Great game, OKC fans. OKC really flipped the script on us in the 4th tonight.
Up until tonight, OKC had won every 1st quarter and we had won every 4th quarter. The exact opposite of what happened tonight.
We lost a huge, huge chance tonight. Unbelievably huge. We basically blew our best chance at a title. It's a 3-game series now with OKC homecourt. We have to win at least one in OKC to win the title. That's very hard to do.
Look, we were able to generate good shots down the stretch. Myles, Nembhard and Hali all had some good looks. We just didn't hit them which is why we lost. Happens but it doesn't make the loss any less devastating.

Should have been a 20 point game at half. Changes everything.
It was blatant.

It was inevitable, just like the Mavs getting the #1 pick.
Seems like confirmation bias. Officiating wasnt great early but leveled out.
38 Fts for Okc compared to 33 for Indiana and there were 4 intentional fouls at end or 2 of the 4 were blatan away from they play calls. Difference is Okc was hitting their Fts. Pacers choked at the line specially Mathurin late

I’d agree that Indiana was on the short end of some tough calls. But they also played some lazy defense down the stretch and ran some dumb offense. They also didn’t put the game away when they had the chance.
The loss is on them, not the refs.

Indy doesn't really have a chance when OKC is getting a ton of foul calls and getting a FT parade.
That being said Hali going iso and Mathurin completely melting down with dumb fouls and bricked FT's certainly did not help.

Caruso won them that game.
When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?
Please advise….

you mean how he went 5-8 on the night?
It was really all about when he missed the FT's. Could have made it 105-107 with two makes and 23 seconds left. Also the foul on SGA with hand in the cookie jar, Nembhard does not commit that foul for example, just have to be more disciplined there. The other foul, I mean, that's just trying to contest, that happens, so not going to get on him about that. The missed two FT's down 4 though was tough.

A 12 minute quarter shouldn't last over 30 minutes in real time.
I hate the way the NBA and their goons interject them self into the story.

Looks like Mathurin successfully distracted some of yall from that horrendous performance by Haliburton.
Hali deserves at least 80% of the blame for that loss.
