Pretty disappointing game from Hali. Zero aggression

Hali needs to wake up if Pacers are going to have a chance to win.

Nemby has really, really struggled tonight. This is the probably the worst playoff game of his that I've ever seen. If I was Rick, I'd put in Mathurin.

Haliburton has to be the most frustrating star to watch in the NBA.

I remember reasearching him on their draft. Wasnt he supposed to be 6'9 or something? He looks shorter than that on my screen1

Kat-Pascal- Nesmith - Hali - Brunson starters, with OG plus the rest of Indy team. They'll be competitive. KAT gives physicality that Indy doesn't have. Nesmith/OG is only for team speed. I'd bring OG off the bench playing him starter minutes. Use Brunson to break OKC's defense. Double point guards will safeguard OKC's strength in creating turnovers and points off them. You'd have to manage KAT Brunson Hali minutes for defense. They'd have to win by scoring a lot. If Nesmith or some defensive scheme can limit SGA's play making, and stop turning over the ball, I think you can beat OKC. OKC's other stars can't create for themselves, and they don't have a backup play maker.

Still a long ways away, but if this goes 7, its gotta kill if you're a Pacers fan they didn't win 1 more regular season game. Crazy that homecourt could end up deciding this.

Feels like he's had a tough series. His shots haven't really been falling, he offers no resistance to Brunson (not that he's necessarily expected to), and now Hart's taking him to school.

Wait, why has Nesmith played only 15 minutes? Did he reinjure his ankle?
