I know the horse has well and truly been beaten to death, but dear God the amount of illegal screens in the NBA is so offputting. The screener can just run into the defender and yep, that's good enough for a screen.

2 bad fouls by Caruso.

This current NBA scoreboard on ABC/ESPN pales in comparison to the scoreboard from this past Super Bowl. Talk about atrociously generic and uninspiring.

OKC should be up 30 but there is always some random scrub for IND going off. Game 1 it was Toppin and now it's Turner

I had a coworker who is 6'7" and I never realized how nothing in the world is built for someone that tall. The guy was wiping his hands on his pants after washing them in the kitchen because he couldn't see the paper towel roll hanging under the cabinet.

Not like he had a chance to do that tonight anyway. Played like crap in game 1 too, just hit a big shot

In the 2nd half of game 1 it seemed like OKC was always 1 step too far inside and gave up a lot of 3s in their face. It was more of the same in the 1st half tonight but they’ve been better in the 3rd. Something to watch.

If you remove illegal screens, offensive efficiency would go way down. It's just a part of the NBA now.

Indy playing without Halliburton in the half court

Plays like a poor man’s Harden- without prime Hardens offensive talent.

I'd argue Shai is way more dangerous. Harden was just 3/2 or 4/1 high pnr, Shai is an all time finisher and hits the middy time and time again huge difference.

Not even close. Prime harden wipes the floor with Alexander offensively.

No he doesn't. His biggest downfall was having no in between game which physically he was more than capable of dominating that facet. Harden is very overrated offensively.

Maybe it's just me... I really can't stand OKC. Why are they able to play physical but act like a bunch of babies on offense? Got Dort falling on screens, Shai falling on screens. It doesn't make sense.

LOL for just the 2nd game in these playoffs, Carlisle runs a play where Pascal is given space to make his moves. The first one was game 2 (I think) against Knicks. For a 3 point shooting team why they don't do this more just behooves me. With the floor spaced out Pascal can drive in or pass out. He is a good passer - see Toronto days.

You should see one of those dudes in a Toyota Corolla, it's comical. Most cars don't have the leg space to be comfortable in being that tall. Probably not even safe for them.

Wiggins will play a much bigger role for OKC in coming years. One of the best contracts in the league and a luxury to have him stashed.

Who wins the NBA FINALS?
