Exactly down 10-15 team can easily think comeback but if you're down 25 a lot of players are thinking we got the split.

Still more intelligent than anything JJ Reddick has ever said.

See give it to Pascal and stop screwing around. They need to go to him earlier when the game gets in a half court grind.

I can't stand Mark D. as a coach.

Put your two big line up back in.

Stop this freaking small ball crap. Get second chance points. Get rebounds. Get stops.

Why are you playing small but playing non-shooters?

It makes no sense. Stop paint touches and slow the game down.

I'm glad Breen brought up Perkins playing on the last OKC team. He carried those bums to the finals by refusing to statpad and they let him down. Shame!

Siakam mauled in the paint. No call.

No calls for Siakam. Stop whining about it and get back on D.

This is the Pacers we're talking about.

They could be down 29 with a minute left and I wouldn't be surprised anymore if they came back.

yeah I ask myself how foolish I want to look with the Pacers every series. I suppose I will wait until 0:00 of the 4th.
