Pacers were attacking IHart’s weak three point defense.

:nod:

This is what almost cost the Knicks in the series against the 76ers last year. Hartenstein was giving Embiid those 3 pointers and Mitch wasn't.

Maybe OKC will trade for the better Center in Mitch in the offseason even if they win the championship. :lol:

Chet needs to come into next season looking like Giannis, or he's going to have to settle for 3 pointes because he's too weak to absorb contact from big centers.

Unlike Thibs, Carlisle doesn’t coach stubborn. Good thing he didn’t pull a Ty Lue (throw in the towel in the third quarter and experiment with rotations for the next game).

You know what's really going to rile people up: Carlisle was throwing in the towel in Game 1 against the Knicks and then Nesmith started making every 3 pointer he attempted. :lol:

Haliburton is out here bewitched with some dark voodoo magic the way he's been hitting crazy clutch shots

Kudos to the resilient Pacers though, they have some big cojones

Whose job was it to inform OKC's head coach about the rebounds? How do you give up 64 rebounds, and even at the end of the game on your possessions refuse to put in a center?

After watching this game I don’t know how we can beat the pacers with this slow and plodding Roster!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We need to play fast but that’s not in brunsons Dna!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Big Big roster changes need to be made going forward!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hopefully Leon does what needs to be done!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Opponents would be down by 130 pts by the half, conservatively.

Obi got the last laugh against Thibs and then was instrumental in his team’s Game 1 comeback in the NBA Finals.
