Jalen Brunson has that Rick Brunson gene in his DNA. Bricked the last shot 7 inches to the right of the backboard. Mother nature is unbeatable. He's no Luka.

I don’t think Luka and Carlisle were a good match. Carlisle wants more passing in his offense.

An absolute masterclass by RC, he wanted Haliburton all along...

Not a popular opinion, but this for me is why Rick Carlisle > Greg Popovich.

Who would Pop be without being gifted Duncan. Give RC Duncan, Manu, Parker and Kawhi and he might get the same amount of rings.

Sad to see the western PO end like this, I'm not sure Mavs beat OKC, but they could make the WCF...

Save us all Rick, it's been tough being an OKC hater this year...

Really want him starting with Flagg and AD gone.

PJ actually played with SGA at Kentucky, so he knows him well I'd imagine

Luka and Brunson couldn't handle RC's style. We could have at least kept one of them.

Fire Kidd, hire Jeff Van Gundy

Happy Carlisle made it to the finals again. Happy to watch Brunson lose.

What did Mike Breen say back then? Fire up the Jets they blew the game wide open?

The Pacers led last night's game for an entire 0.3 seconds. :lol:

Watching G2, I am feeling like the Mavs is a Herb Jones away from playing like the OKC. The Mavs just needs to get stronger in defense and on grabbing rebound. Just win with defense and physical plays.

Lively - Chet
Hartenstein - Davis / Gafford
SGA - Flagg
J-Will - PJ / Marshall
Dort / Wiggins - Herb / Christie
Caruso / Wallace - Kyrie / CP3?

Playing like OKC and winning like OKC are two different things... We are a SGA/Luka away to the second point.

Wemby has been visiting Shalin temple to master kungfu. I wonder what Lively has been working on.

Siakam and Toppin are balling in Finals. Can Flagg be the same? But looking at the pick-n-roll defense. I don't hold the hope too high. I think Flagg is mostly a 4. Against quicker player with great handles and shooting, the quickness in feet is exposed. I wonder if SF is truefully the right spot for Flagg. I think Flagg is more of a 4 instead of 3.

Indiana's homecourt is well-planned. OKC is playing 5 on 6 with Indy fans in mix.

The offball movement really pays dividend for Indy.
