Great start for Siakam, but he isn't getting to the rim on his post ups. The Pacers haven't gotten to the rim as much this series, and OKC is probably going to live with him making contested middies.

Chet and JDub are rolling so far, bad sign for the Pacers.

The Pacers' offense is just so sloppy, and a lot of credit has to go to the Thunder's defense.

The Pacers can't get around anyone and they can't keep any Thunder player in front of them on the defensive end.

Siakam has started well, but him taking the ball from the 3-point line is not ideal.

He has to catch the ball in an area where he can take 1 dribble and go up.

tighter whistle should favor Indy. No need to panic

Chet and JDub having a good game on O is necessary.

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

gotta go at Chet and try and get him in foul trouble...

Are they somehow muffling the crowd noise? I thought it would be louder

Pacers have no answer for Chet bringing the ball up the floor

Idk what anyone says Tyrese is overrated. Guy has a knack for the moment but he just isn't consistent enough.

Takes way too long to get into the game.

PS - PlayStation ?

PS4/5 would be a great nickname for Siakam if he had that as his jersey number, AK47 style

Pascal has struggled vs lengthy athletic guys like Chet/Hartenstein his entire career.

No two shots for Chet. That's cheating, Brothers! Learn the game, Brothers! It's called basketball!

It hali scores 30 points the pacers win - true or false?
