They're shooting like 38% from the field. Not gonna win with that level of offense.

So did okc in game 1 and they lead the whole game (from 8-15 points)until the last 3 seconds... It comes down to hot shooting. If the pacers shoot hot from 3 they keep themselves in the game(Nesmith hitting 7 from 7 from 3 to come back and beat the Knicks, shooting 47% in game 1 of finals, etc).

Only Nembhard knows how to draw fouls in their starting lineup.

Why do Pacers make it hard on themselves?

Cason Wallace is the only OKC player they call for fouls :lol:

Lot of this “defense” is just fouls. If you don’t call five fouls, eventually you will force a bad shot or turnover.

They got their split in OKC. Without a super second half from Siakim, this is absolutely over.

Hali can’t create any separation on offense. Really pathetic showing from him after the let’s get greedy stuff, he’s gonna be a meme at this rate.

There's still a whole second half left, an 18-point lead is nothing in today's NBA. Pacers have done miraculous things these playoffs; I've learned to never count them out.

41 points in a half isn't going to cut it. Credit OKC's defense for it is amazing but Carlisle has to find a way for us to adjust and get our offense going.

The Rockets have the same playbook. I wonder how much it will catch on next year.

Just like that.

No synergistic basketball for OKC.

Playing four players under 6'6. Got like 4 stops and no rebounds.

Getting shots at the rim but it's one and done.

No shooters on the floor but getting wide open shots but it's one and done.

It's so frustrating to watch.

They can play the same style of defense and offense with Chet at the 4 and play even better but Mark like Spo, loves his stupid small ball.
