This will be a quick series if the pacers don’t bring more. SGA showing why he was the mvp.

OKC should be up 30, will it cost them?

I like defense and I love how OKC plays so it's far from unwatchable for me. It's up to the Pacers to adjust. This is fun for me.

Pacers defense has been really good too. That's why they're still in it.

Good luck asking JT and JB to do that.

That’s why SGA is mvp and JT is not. Attack the rim and get to the line to stop any run. JT doesn’t have anything in his bag. Doesn’t finish good at the rim and shot making skills average. No mid range game. We had so many players that can score inside, yet we bail teams out by chucking 3’s non stop.

Turnovers have killed the pacers in this game 1.

That’s something he should have worked on all this time in the nba.

Indy should win - unless the 'FT merchant' dives for a foul

I give full credit to the Celtics for giving Indy their heartbreak last season. It made them strong and resilient. That's my story and I'm sticking with it.
