Their MOV this season has been historic. Oklahoma City will win this series comfortably if OKC plays as they did all year isn't a slight on Indiana. It is just a brutal reality they are facing a juggernaut.

Nah, this is different.

Mark isn't coaching to be cute.

The Thunder are simply better and they are playing like it.

Bigger, stronger, faster and more talented.

All that cute crap Mark D. does with lineups isn't necessary. It's masturbatory. Just go out there play straight up.

It's not like the pacers played well in game 1. Its clear as day what the pacers need to do to stay alive... Hit 3s at a high clip. They don't do that they lose quite easily. This is the 2023 heat all over again.

Game over. IND isn't coming back from this. OKC is committed to stepping on their throat

Welp, that is a catastrophic stretch. Carlisle has already taken 3 timeouts but we haven't been able to stop the bleeding.

Yes. Shai isn't foul baiting, either.

When Pascal struggles and isn't pulling Pacers through the first half offensively this is the result.
