They really can't stop JB or JT, just gotta make good decisions with the ball.

It's true the Pacers don't play defense.

Indy’s defense is pathetic lmao. Just play solid defense and don’t bail them out by rushing and chucking threes

Kornet wasn’t good in that stretch, might be time to unleash Queta

This might be the worst defense to ever make a conference finals. Only thing that can save them is Tatum bailing them out.

Hard to say they settled for more than maybe one three (JT, buddy..) but they’ve all been really solid looks. That said, they’re getting everything they want on the inside and hope they keep going back to that. Wishful, but it’s all fun and games until you shoot 7/44 in a game 7.

I would rather have KP in a wheelchair than Kornet out there.

If the Pacers keep up this half court pressure, on of the Jays will have a free drive to the basket every possession

As expected, scoring is going to be extremely easy this series.

Indiana doesn't defend well, but they pass the ball very well offensively.

Pritchard doing too much on offense, too little on defense.
