OKC killing them on the boards

Bitcoin is a legitimate technology and will probably be around in 50-100 years, but Coinbase is a terrible exchange.
Blockchain is.
The coins are currently just dollar stalking horses for insider training aficionados.
Sure, now do fiat currency. Sorry I don't wanna derail but I really wish schools made economics mandatory instead of algebra.

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 don't want a shaky ball handler attacking OKCs defense

Why are OKC putting up so many shots? Drain the clock
In reference to our title winning year

Turner is shaky as **** on the boards. He gets boards but everything has to be perfect.

Unpopular take: refs shouldn't wait for coaches to look at replays. Coaches should have to make an instant decision.

Another awful call for Caruso. How is he getting that call? He basically did that to Joker for 48 minutes.

Pacers have great body language for a team down 20.

It feels like every play for either team is going to be a foul. Just feels very bogged down at the moment.

Let Indiana play defense the way OKC does. That's all I am asking for.
I feel like I am watching 3 Dwayne Wades play against Indiana right now.

You can tell they're the lesser talented team in this series by like a whole tier of players, but not in effort, only skill. It's impressive but dunno if it'll be enough.

Nah I don't want even ten second delays. NBA needs to keep games moving.
A subtext is I think basketball was better before challenges so I really don't care about giving teams time to watch replays.

JDub could never live this performance down. He's been trash.
