As of right now Dort is FMVP lol. And that’s with SGA trying soooo hard in the first half to secure it.

so much of SGAs game is predicated on pushing off with his off-hand. The NBA is such a joke

Doris is atrocious. SGA is literally still dribbling and she's arguing it should be a shooting foul.

Hali and turner are crashing out


I think what a lot had predicted, at least for Hali. We'll see if they can adapt.

Looks like this is gonna be a homecourt series. I can't see the Pacers winning any games in OKC.

Someone obviously had a talk with her and she is overcorrecting. Everyone was mad about the foul merchant stuff.

It’s comical they have to correct her on air
