All of a sudden the average Raptors are looking a lot better :lol:

I'm gonna say it was probably playing the highest net rating team in the road without the teams best player that did it.

Nothing new. He’s always terrible on the road and really good at home. That’s been his M.O. all season. He’s mentally weak. He can’t play basketball on the road for some reason.

I think that's it. Our guys look overwhelmed. Can't blame them though with Tyrese out. Thunder are mentally locked in after we gave it away in the 3rd.

Injuries suck. Oh well we got robbed of a potential great game 7.

Congrats Seattle on the chip!

SIakam and the Pacers are just soft.

I think throughout the playoffs they've shown the opposite.

Caruso does this vs. all bigger opponents. And so because Indy has been resilient, I thought Trance Siakam could take his space back. But it's about energy and it's getting harder for Indy to muster and channel it.

Pacers need to keep this within striking distance and hope OKC tightens up at the end to steal it

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


I’ve been told to cope harder, teams have to play more perfect in order to overcome bad calls.

Don’t brick shots when your arm is being held
Don’t turn the ball over when your defenders are hand checking you

So you should learn to cope harder as well
Hit your free throws when you get calls and don't turn the ball over 100 times a quarter.

Hows that for a start?

Hell of a run by the Pacers. With Haliburton this game is close right now. That’s all you can ask for in a winner take all.

Brutal. They needed to play perfect to have a chance. They couldn’t. It was a big ask, but they had a hell of a run.

Not in this series, at least as going strong to the basket goes.
