Is that Richard Jefferson? Insufferable with his favoritism. Cant imagine him saying that about SGA, but could be my bias...

Indy finally deciding to trap SGA has turned the series. Now, it's up to OKC to adjust.

The Pacers having 13 steals and 11 blocks is insane.

Safe to say Indy has the better coach (Carlisle).

He's tired and they're standing around watching him.
Pacers meanwhile are flat out out hustling OKC, beating them at the wear them down and team game.
OKC is still young and this is still only their first year with any expectations but if they have problems again next year then I think a coaching change may be necessary.

It has to screw them at some point.
It just has to.

Pacers in an unfamiliar position of preserving a lead late instead of coming back late

Indy has a chance without one.
Maybe 2004 Pistons?
1994 Rockets?
Did you just say 1994 Rockets? Hahaha

OKC lucky they don't do the 2-3-2 format anymore in the Finals, because I could see them losing every game in Indiana.

Other than SGA, no one seems like they can create any offence.
The best from OKC was in the 1st when the offense was more egalitarian and when Jalen Williams got going downhill. He drew tons of fouls and scored a lot of baskets.

I'm going to be so impressed with SGA if he ends up pulling off a championship with so little creation around him

Indy beats Cleveland and the Knicks and people are shocked they might go up 2-1....They are a heck of a team. Stop acting surprised.

Pacers aren't going to beat the Bucks
Pacers aren't going to beat the Cavs
Pacers aren't going to beat the Knicks
Pacers aren't going to beat the Thunder
Pacers are busting the notion of taking the "safe bet" nothing is safe playing against that team lmao

Gotta eat crow here, I was positive OKC would win this series in 5. I'm still picking them to win but it's of course anyone's series now, and Indiana even just taking 2 games in this series is impressive as ****.
