Indiana keep on keeping on, don't turn the ball over and force OKC into a halfcourt team and win in 6. Or OKC take a cricket bat to Haliburton and sweep them.

This will be the first time in the playoffs the Pacers are playing a team that actually plays perimeter defense.

And the first team the Pacers will have played that isn't soft.

The Pacers are going to go into shock finally playing a team that doesn't just let them do whatever they want offensively....lol.

They should show team fouls
I'm against picketing but I don't know how to show it.

This young OKC team smells a championship. They are going to swarm defensively every minute and end this series quickly.

Not many of those turnovers were ones OKC could run off which has helped this not get too out of hand early.

Satisfying as hell watching the Pacers struggle to score 20 points in a quarter.

Yeah I do not expect this to be particularly close. It seems to me like OKC is basically built to stop Indiana's offense.

I'm not sure I care either way. Seven games would be fun.

Normally I'd be pulling for 7 games or at least 6. But I'd enjoy a Pacers whipping more.

If you're gloating about the Pacers, remember they looked this bad in at least one game versus every Eastern team for 90% of the game.

I don't think OKC chokes it away. I feel they are smart and learned from game one vs Denver. But I'm not dumb enough to rule out a comeback.

Part of me would love to see them get swept and lose every game by double digits.

But if you could guarantee they lose, I'd totally take a heart breaking game seven last second loss.

If OKC runs away with this and wins the series in 4-5 games, the ratings are gonna be even worse than people anticipate. And really feed Silver's fire for not wanting small market teams in the Finals.

Indiana really needs to pump and drive. Thunder are being overly aggressive contesting and they're small inside.

OKC with 34/33/90 splits so far.

This turnovers are just stunning. Feels like every other possession OKC is forcing one
