I don't know how many times Jalen Williams has to destroy the press for Indiana to stop doing that.

I don’t know about you guys but my girlfriend and I ****ing love TJ MCConnell. He’s like our GOAT for the duration of this series. Dude plays hard.
:o LeBron is 0-7 in game winning/tying FGs in the finals. And is 20/116 or 17% in game winning/tying FGs in the 4th/OT for his career. That's historically bad :o

TJ McConnell being a white American NBA player who can’t shoot is such an inspirational story

OKC probably needs this game more than the Pacers. Another collapse without Haliburton even close to healthy out there would be demoralizing plus game 6 on the road.

Foul on McConnell because he couldn't jump very high. What the!?
