Looks like Fraudiburton has been exposed. 5/4/3 is embarassing.

Mathurin dribbles without purpose. Like he just wants the ball in his hands. Have to keep it moving.

Those complaining about foul calls. Indy is living at the line this quarter

Mark D finally uses the double big lineup and they get an easy dunk

SGA been getting those Jokic steals. Just IQ level slaps of the ball.

I am WEAK.... That was a blocking foul? They are trying their best to let OKC keep a lead.

Having two bigs more size and chances at rebounds who knew. Hopefully Dags doesn't play around any more with sub optimal lineups

Mathurin dribbling, pushed from the back by SGA. No call. Crazy.

If the Pacers come back from this too, I give up. This game should be over.

I know these are two great teams but there are some straight g league sequences in this game.
When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?

Please advise….

what I like the most about his game is that he is efficient with his movement. No wasted energy on offense. He knows what he wants and has the skill to get there and then counter if the defense is waiting for him. Long way of saying 'he never looks tired out there' :lol:

Last game i've seen a star suck like Haliburton, from a Raptors fan perspective. was when Lowry had the worst scoring game ever.

That was a huge block by Cason Wallace on that 3. OKC keeping the lead at 19 is big for them.
