They should definitely run stuff for him for some easy buckets.

I see him evolving into a light Jokic type where you can run plays through him.

Crazy to see that him and Siakam are similar in the sense that the team never runs plays for them. The difference is that IND players have the IQ to feed Siakam when he is open or has a mismatch, whereas OKC players won't do the same for Chet.

Well, maybe because he's an all time great who led the Pistons as PG to wins against the Magic Lakers, Bird Celtics, and Jordan Bulls in playoff series on the way to two rings?

that does not make him fit for broadcasting. Scottie was terrible and he was dropped

Chet evolving into Jokic Jr is a stretch bro. Regardless of opportunity, he doesn’t have that type of skillset or bag. He doesn’t even have the frame to get physical in the pt like Jok does

Call me pessimistic, but I don't see Chet reaching his potential in OKC. He would have been better off on a tanking team, where he would be able to showcase his skills. People forget that he is an alien and there were legitimate discussions between him and Wemby on who is the better prospect.

Our extremely tall people put the round bouncy thing through the round red metal thingy more than the other teams extremely tall people.

I want to think this, but it took a buzzer-beater to beat a Thunder team shooting 39%.

If it isn't then the OKC coach needs to be fired ASAP. An average coach would wrap this up in 5 at worst

Fired?

Don't be ridiculous.

Also, I picked OKC in 6.

But, wouldn't be entirely shocked if Indiana pulls of the upset. They are deep like OKC, well coached (big coaching advantage), quick pace on offense, more playoff experienced than OKC (less brain farts, etc), etc.

Indy is a very good team as well
OKC is more talented.

That Lakers team was much better than this Thunder team. That was their only loss in the entire playoffs. No one on Thunder as good as Kobe or Shaq.

Chet is overrated offensively, he'll be lucky to be Myles Turner on O.

He's too frail.

Pacers probably split at home (game 3 or 4)

OKC probably wins it in 6 tho.

That same Thunder team had 16 more FGAs and 18 fewer turnovers than the Pacers.

Winning the turnover battle 24-6 and still losing is generational type work.

Pacers feel like a team of destiny overcoming those odds

Told yall that if i watch this game IND would win... as improbable as it may seem....
