100%. They are not unbeatable by any means. Just have to match their intensity and stop them from getting easy trsnsition buckets.

Chet has got to stop trying to be a good to scorer. That is not his game. That was horrible

You know, for a team that got in its own way so much in the 1ST Q, Indy is closer than you'd think.

3s are keeping them in it. Have to settle in to facing the higher D level.

Did you miss the 6ers v Knicks series last year?

The fact is if Tatum was playing right now and got away with those push offs SGA just did you’d be crying your eyes out.


I wouldn't/didn't though lol you speak in hypotheticals, I'm just speaking facts.

It's not Tatum wasn't doing it last year when you guys won, it's just whatever. You can pull my receipts and I had YOU guys winning it AGAIN this year so I could really gaf lol. You're just salty because you've been called out on your laughable hypocrisy.


Hypotheticals? A series that happened in which 6ers fans were complaining about Brunsons flopping? That happened, go back and look at the threads.

Alright man I’m salty because you quoted me. You’re salty because your team is irrelevant. Celtics living rent free.


You BOS fans are seriously next level insecure :lol:

"Rent free" because I simply called out your hilarious hypocrisy, cry & cope more.

These OKC players are trying to do too much. Just give the ball to Shai and get the **** out of the way

Who else are they going to hype? There's literally no household name on the court. A casual fan watching NBA for the first time is probably thinking this is a G-league game.

Daigneault's coached this way all season. At this point, the question would be is if he didn't do it.


Has AJ Mitchell seen time any other point in this playoff run? Why start cason Wallace in gane one of the NBA finals?? Why change up what has worked... Just odd


Not even disagreeing. Cason hasn't started a single playoff game, although Thunder fans have been calling for them to switch the starting lineup since the first round. Mitchell has played, but not big minutes.

Have a feeling the Pacers are settled. Their offence should always keep them in games
