Good thing about ESPN doing the Finals, I don't have to watch the half time.

Yeah I mentioned that before, she's been excellent tonight.

Stands out really well.

Isn't she being let go next year?!

Well Breen's been extended, the powers that be somehow want RJ (or was it Miller?) back, but Doris's contract is in the air.

She's raised her considerable game, and is **** SLAYING laying down the basketball insights.

They better come to their senses and not let Doris slip away. She's a floor and ceiling raiser.

All in all, this trio has been far more professional as opposed to the college couch bros mode which is refreshing.

Time to continue my Cheers series re watch marathon instead of watching ESPN's crap half tiem show (RIP George Wendt)

Indy still very much alive in this game, they have been very sloppy on offense and turned the ball over way too much. The fact they are not down by 20 plus is encouraging for them

Wtf happened to the finals?

Adam Silver happened.

Some of you will complain about anything.

There are no more super teams and there IS parity.

Two small market teams in the finals.

Just a few things posters have cried about since my Warriors ran roughshod over the association.

If Dorts 3 hits the rim it will bounce out of the gym and break the backboard

hope we won't regret this isn't a 20+ lead

Give me a break. More like OKC may be the best.

LMAO nonsense.

Dort’s 3 three-pointers is big in the first half for the Thunder— basically the difference between this double digit lead and a close game.

i know Thunder has those big 3rd quarters so it’s adamant for the Pacers to stay within range before the final canto.

Havent been impressed w/ Daigneaults coaching all playoffs. Okc offense is meh. Defensively theyre obviously insane but that isnt coaching this is the deepest most loaded defense weve seen in a long time honestly i cant remember the last one w/ great defenders at every position in the starting lineup and bench

Miles Turner looks bad out there. Also SGA gets basically play with house money on a team with a defense this good and with so many shooters and lob threats.

Jokic really took this OKC team to 7 with Jamal Murray and a bunch of junkyard trash

You’re joking right? They’ve almost forced 20 turnovers and they’re only up 10. They’ve taken like 15 more shots and only up 10

So maybe prior chip teams would kill them. They can’t score

Could've stopped there and just let me say no.

He took 18 shots to get 20. Not even remotely efficient.

Oh.

SAS is talking.

I guess the college bro couch is back.

Caruso and Dort have 7 steals.

I’m pretty sure it’s some sort of post-count competition. I appreciate their contributions. I’m not sure this thread would’ve reached 20 pages yet otherwise.

Indy is very lucky to only be down 12 right now with some terrible shooting and finishing by OKC in that half. They should probably be down 25 but they still have a punchers chance in this one. I’ll be very interested to see OKC’s response to any significant momentum switch in the 2nd half.

Sometimes I can't tell if people are being sarcastic when they say this.

It’s like the NBA doesn’t even want to celebrate the biggest event of the season.

It’s absurd
