It’s very creepy how much people like Indiana. It’s terrible basketball. Just a bunch of losers.

The Thunder are every bit as good as advertised. You don't luck your way into the best record in the NBA. You don't luck your way past a tough Denver team and Jokic. They are legit.

Again, this is one game. They lost game 1 to Denver as well. Its big for the Pacers, but they've got to win 3 more, and it won't be easy.

Denver only became a "tough team" because they took an overrated OKC team to seven. It was just people trying to justify why OKC couldn't deal with them more handily.

Denver was not a great team and would've lost to every team that made the second round in the east

Definitely agree that OKC made Denver look much better than they were. Jokic had two amazing games, nothing you can really do about that but he also had several poor ones and OKC still struggled because they couldn't hit shots outside of Shai.

OKC is pretty shaky offensively late in games. If you are able to not get run out the building by OKC in the first 3 quarters, you have a shot late.

OKC opens up game 2 an 11 point favorite, which is a point more than game 1. I think Vegas believes in OKC more than I do lol.

Pacers proved in the last two series that they won't be satisfied with just 1 win on the road of the first 2. They went up 2-0 on the road against both Cleveland and NY. This Pacers team is legitimate and OKC will need to be the all-time team many believe they are in order to beat them.

I just noticed that Hali's shot didn't get a BANG from Breen. I feel it deserved a BANG. I guess Breen was just surprised that it went in.

They play the nicest style in the NBA lol. Weird comment

What’s weird is you liking the Pacers thinking this is about basketball. “Weird” fans.

**** talking is like comedy. Location location location. And you're lost.

Wait, ****, it's timing.

NiceLikeChrist wrote:Pacers don’t have the individual talent. They don’t have a single bonafide shot creator. All this loosey goosey offense is exactly what OKC wants so they can get in the lanes and swipe and push. Sometimes you need a guy who can iso and get a bucket.

When we played OKC in the regular season we only had 12 TO in each game and OKC turned it over more than us in both.

Pacers have nobody who can slow it down and generate their own shot consistently

Game 2 is must win for OKC. I don't care what anybody says. No way Pacers is losing this up 2-0 going back to Indy after everything they've already done.

He’s a fraud cause he allowed his team to blow a big lead late in the fourth. So yes

Uh huh. And what happens if OKC ends up winning this series? Is he no longer a fraud at that point?

What are you asking? If they win and he has a hand in them winning, yes he will have proven he’s not a fraud.

You and I both know what I'm asking.

Your argument is silly. He's either a fraud or he isn't. This is why you don't make that argument based on one game.

All great examples.
And of course Cavs over Dubs in 2016.
Still think this was crazier
