Nembhard - the silent assassin

Just like I remember from last year, he was the Pacers I most feared with the ball

If this series goes to 6, that’s a win already. Though we can’t look past the knicks for the moment.

Honestly wouldn’t be surprised if Indy beats the Cavs. Should be a good long series

Would be sweet to see Golden State losing in seven after taking game 5 off

Take some of the starch outta that Cav swagger lol

Can the rest of league now acknowledge that the Pacers in last year's conference finals was not a fluke? They were our toughest challenge despite the sweep



The Pacers may not have an elite defense, but they can outscore anyone if they get it going on any giving night.

Pacers have a bus-load of playable guys, a very deep team. You wouldn’t call any of them a star, but they complement each other well and get the job done.

I think golden state not having gary payton junior is a huge blessing because he just puts too many shaky non confidence shooters on the court. They are now going to count heavier on the other players. And at this moment, buddy hield is stepping up big.

But it's in the second half where everyone gets tight so we will see then.

Steve Carr absolutely has to let Kuminga play More. He doesn't have to be a shooter, but he has enough ability to score and rebound and he's kind of unpredictable.

Durant would help the Rockets. Rockets offense is sketchy

Houston and coach Ime's offense is based on getting fast breaks off their defense.. But having less than 40 points at home in a game seven is ridiculous.

Curry with the greatest “decoy half” I’ve ever seen. Curry’s movement has gotten so many open looks for teammates

Golden state is sitting in a nice position, but leave it up to draymond green to throw a wrench in this..

For a professional athlete, Draymond seems to have a lot of “out of control” issues with his hands and feet contacting other people’s bodies. I wonder if he should see someone about that.

Hield is absolutely hot. But he's literally not being guarded. How long does it take for coach Ime to figure it out and make an adjustment??
