I think they need this game though to win this series. Can they win a game 5 and go up 3-2? Idk

They know this. If they win this they win the chip. Such an important game for both teams.

I agree. Indy needs to win this game. At this moment (halftime,) they have a great chance to win this game and the series. If they lose, it's advantage OKC.

Nothing really new here but Perk has to be one of the dumbest. Analyst maybe ever? I mean, I get that. Sometimes you have to say controversial things. Or go opposite the norm, but he does it so often. It's actually ridiculous that he still has a job in my amateur opinion.

It's still shocking to me that he has become a media personality.

We're a stupid society who feeds of sensationalism. Stephen A, Skip, Cowherd, on and on... Morons. This is what the people want.
[quote=“dkb964”]156-1 Celtics are frauds when pressure is put on them. They would have been toast if Luka was not stupid enough to foul himself out. Enjoy this ONE finals win. There will never be another with the Js and the Celtics cant afford stacked team.[/quote]

Some may disagree with this.. Including the league.. But I really believe if Indiana wins it all. It is good for basketball. And certainly for the small market teams.

I was wrong about Carlisle. I thought Dirk carried him and even then he couldn’t make it past 1st round in the West apart from the 2011 title. This defense is excellent and he’s designed a style of play that’s well suited to his main star and their role players.

He was just an afterthought playing for coach Thibs in new york. It's really amazing how much a player can contribute when they have a coach who believes in them.

In fact, Carlisle has resurrected Aaron Nesmith, and Obi Toppin. And got on both, for relatively cheap.

Nembhard's development has been impressive too.

See what happens when you don’t make a lot of 3s? You don’t win.

OKC in this series is basically what some of our fans advocate for.

Old school mid range and rim attacks.

They are getting completely beaten by the maths currently
