Zero leak outs for the Pacers, this is what the Knicks should have done also.

Chet and Turner are both 7 foot Magikarp casting flail at each other over and over

SGA swerving to the left elbow for a J. Looks effortless.

Halftime is just 2 minutes of talking about the game and 13 minutes of ads when it comes to abc/espn

With Stephen A Smith, it's better that way. I realized how ridiculous it was, but I muted the halftime show and unmuted for the commercials.

Nesmith has to play a lot smarter and disciplined.

Ppl dont realize this is the new normal going forward w/ Tnt gone. Even w/ Inside guys moving and still there we just finished the golden age of sports media and coverage. Its only downhill from here w/ Nbc and Espn

I guess we'll see. Sometimes it feels like the absolute worst get rammed down your throat and other like fan feedback gets us more of what we want.

The in game trio is terrific - shout out to standout Doris once again.

Then they allow buffoonery at half time. I like a change of tone, go for funny or whatever, but I've had a 13.5hr day. I don't want to be screamed at and with nonsense to boot.

By all means have a different tone but don't downgrade the quality so much.

I can almost hear someone say use the mute button and it's true. But that's a damning move on the halftime crew.

Doris has been awful these playoffs Imo. Shes usually good but I dunno maybe shes washed now lol

Kobe would be proud.
Ok but he's not getting calls when fouled and has scored 20 without free throws pretty much...20 "ethical" points.

But now we say its inefficient.

He can't win.

For real and how about this for a fun FACT....

Shai has only averaged 10 FTA/game ONCE in his career so far and it wasn't this one when everybody is whining about it lol but was actually at 8.8 FTA/game this year.

Kobe at the exact SAME AGE averaged 10.1 FTA/game and went on for the following 2 seasons to average 10.2 FTA/game & 10.0 FTA/game and at age 25 was 8.2 FTA/game so he was actually shooting MORE than Shai in a supposedly "tougher" league but hey we can try to distort the facts to fit our narratives I guess....

It's amazing how one gets praise while also being less efficient overall and the other is supposedly a "merchant" despite a lower rate. Just saying.

Feels like Thunder should be up 25 but its still close.

I will say I think OKC gets away with maybe a little too much contact defensively, but I prefer the games like this as long as they aren't calling it on the other end either.

Turner has no place in this series.

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

The pressure of the crowd is too palpable

This turnover differential is crazy...I have never seen such big turnover differential in 3rd qtr of a game...kinda crazy that Pacers are still only down by 12 pts with such lopsided turnover count

Legit has no moves. If he doesn’t have a clear athletic advantage (he’s still more athletic than Turner) then this is what you get.
