dort literally stopped pascal's initially drive with a fully stretch out arm to the chest.

isnt that a foul?

[scrabbarista]

Why aren't they showing the players introduction on league pass... I wanna get hyped. I got to hear the OKC announcer screaming into the mic with cow sounds in the background in G1/G2, now that it's in Indiana they're just showing some trailers instead of the starting 5

ESPN didn't even show the player introductions lol that's crazy

Got to get those ads in.

Siakam gonna dominate until he gets shut down by Caruso

[thelead]

Expecting another blowout win for OKC

they have 0 road blowouts so far this postseason.

I weigh the talent discrepancy more than trends. I hope I'm wrong though. I'd like to see the Pacers really test OKC.

I'll be curious to see if Indiana can play crisper basketball. They've kind of been happy to sludge their way into their offense, and that sloppiness has led to sill turnovers and a lot of chucking from 3. They really need Haliburton to be aggressive and they need to get Siakam the ball in places where he can get to the bucket off one dribble.

For OKC, I think it is really a matter of continuing to do what they've done on D and whether they can get good shooting from Wallace, Wiggins, Joe, Caruso...etc to keep Indiana's defense honest.

It’s going to be a hot start for the pacers

Damn I knew it as soon as I read this

Lmaooo

Obvious travel by Holmgren.

[azcatz11]

Chet is something special

[Black Jack]

Siakam seems scared to shoot inside vs Chet. Indy needs PS to play better of this series is over.

[djsunyc]

leon rose just texted herb simon and asked him if he can talk to carlisle at halftime.

[scrabbarista]

They are calling it "tight," but they've all been obvious fouls, too.

Exciting staaart!!!!!!!

OoooooooooOoooooOOooohhh!!!

[Marrs-Law]

Hopefully the Thunder cool down a little...I've felt like the Pacers have played well so far and they're already down 7

[___Rand___]

OKC is in too much of a rhythm. Good time out.

[Dadouv47]

Indy defending Shai very well but so far good game from JDub/Chet

The amount of physcality Dort gets to play on defense is ridiculous. It's even worse when you consider he draws so many cheap offensive fouls through flopping.

PS - PlayStation ?

[Marvin Martian]

People forget that Chet was in the discussion for being in the same prospect level as Wemby. This is why

Siakam thus far is the only Pacer not afraid to take shots actually

[Chuck Everett]

OKC offense looks very comfortable even without SGA putting up any shots. Not a good sign for Indiana. Their offense by comparison still looks Iso-heavy against the pressure.

[RunOKC]

JDub and Chet game so far

Hope they can keep this up.. don't see it being a blowout
