Lu Dort looks like Sterling K. Brown

You can tell they're the lesser talented team in this series by like a whole tier of players, but not in effort, only skill. It's impressive but dunno if it'll be enough.
I don't think it will be enough. I respect this Pacers team immensely. In boxing terms they have a champion chin but not the punch.

Or you don't know basketball. I've played and coached. One team is allowed to be more physical than the other. That's all.

The NBA need a new award.

Hali being aggressive in the 4th. He needs to be aggressive all minutes on the floor. At some point the comebacks aint gonna cut it.

I was thinking same thing. If you get a layup then great, but no need to be jacking up transition 3s up by this much with 8-9 minutes remaining. They can get those type of looks any time.

JDub has been a disaster. 2 straight stinkers now. At least OKC is likely to win this game but how much longer can they tolerate his performance?

Basketball has a horrible culture of focusing on the refs which the NBA encourages. NBA announcers talk about calls so much during games. It just sucks. This is a 20 point game the story of this game is one team kicking another's butt not a call.

Sheppard definitely is a guy who tries to make the right play every minute he's on the floor, however, in this game, the open shots he's passing up are hurting the team. If he catches in rhythm he needs to let it fly.

I love this retort, like you have a monopoly on basketball knowledge that no one else on a basketball forum has
