Such a trash call on Nesmith. Caruso can’t even dribble and you reward a call

Indiana needs to get it to 14 and OKC 20.

How is it that OKC plays the most physical defense with such few calls, while drawing so many fouls offensively?

LMAO that Caruso foul is absurd. Let's close out the third quarter with nothing but free throws for OKC. This is a effing joke.

Isn't Harden like 40? Who's saying he's better than Shai?

Shai can score on anybody. Too skilled. Too big.

Basketball is a physical game. The aggressor in any sport typically gets the calls.

That Nesmith pass was insane. He went from flicking the wrist of a jumper to bullet pass lol
