The Bald Eagle is the main reason OKC have gotten back into this game.
This is exactly the reason why they traded Josh Giddey for him, for games and moments like this

Chef has to stop dribbling like he’s a guard. He’s going to turn the ball over at a critical point in the game

Please don't call flagrant. That would be so depressing. Normal hard foul.

Too much offensive responsibility. And the Pacers are smartly putting him in actions to wear him down.


Meh, that’s not a legit excuse for any other star player. Shouldn’t be one for SGA, especially since his reputation is that of a great defensive player.

Why doesn't Obi try to actually defend? Like dude you're atheltic as hell and you're much taller why the **** would you intentionally foul there? He's literally side by side.

Idiot.

Don't get me wrong, that was a hard foul but Dort is doing a lot of similar shoulder checking and not getting called for a damn thing

His defense is just Skinny Luka atm


They were telling us he was a better defender than Giannis during the season.


WUT??? :lol: :lol: :lol:

Who the hell said that?

I don't remember any of that madness but I remember there being a campaign that he was a "lock down defender and still the 4th or 5th best defender on his team!"
