Caruso is shocked that was a foul because they’ve allowed them to do that the entire game with no whistle.

What are you talking about? Tatum gets called out for it constantly. He also gets T’d up for clapping.

The Celtics are in Cancun and JT is in the Hospital are they’re still running circles in your mind.


No it's just insanely ironic for a BOS fan to complain about something their best player is notorious for.

It would be like a PHI fan whining about a star that foul baits *ahem Embiid.

He’s been called for it numerous times.

We need the finals logo back man. This looks like a regular season game. 2 different very important Youtube TV ads though. :roll:

when he goes for the push off. Then you talk smack to the ref's

Got to say f that can't keep doing the same sh*t over and over and nothing happens


I was thinking the same thing.

Indy's pressure defense isn't working so far. OKC just pushes the ball quickly up the court and attacks.

Which begs the question, why isn't it? OKC should be up 20+ by now,

If 3 players are all reaching at the same time, I promise, they didn’t all get ball.

The pacers with the 3 ball is there only saving grace in this series in my eyes.... They start hitting it like maimi in 2023, OKC can be in trouble

That foul is what's wrong with the NBA lads going at it and Caruso initiated it. You'd be laughed at in the gym if you wanted a call on that lol
