Formula acquired.

Thibs made the right adjustments.. I had been calling for Wright and Shamet since last game. You beat Indy by defending you're not going to outscore them. That's how the Orlando Magic son them. The Pacers turn into bitches when you get in their shorts. Where are all the bum front running Pacer fans now??? I want to hear nothing but crickets.

I don't understand how Indiana lost their brains this quarter ... literally lol. Siakam gets the ball at the 3' line and acts like he doesn't know he should shoot and doesn't even hit the rim. What the heck was that?

Meh. Didn't earn that. Disappointing.

Should have won that. Acted like it was game over, and just played iso ball too long. Tried to change it in the last couple minutes.

Indy is too arrogant. (Hali)

Hope Knicks win the series. (Probably won't)

Hali and his dad are arrogant pricks.

I don’t know about the modern NBA. I can put up with the threes and star calls. But stupid basketball just boils my blood

Mr Puddles explains the intricacies of strategic basketball. Thibs wouldn't be the first NBA coach to build his strategies around RealGM's Puddle posts.
