I thought it was going to be a flagrant but I am happy it was not. He went after the arms when the arms where extending for a layup. It was a wrap up, and he didnt even push him to the ground. I dont think it was excessive. It wasnt on the ball, but it affected the arms.

I guess there won't be a gentlemen's sweep after all. Pacers refuse to roll over and die.

Great push by Hali, the slow, passive, having trouble getting the ball past halfcourt is NOT it

Chet is not in the same hempisphere let alone universe as Wemby.

In fact I don't think he is as good as Alpie Sengun either..

So overrated


He’s much better than Sengun with a lot more ceiling


Nah you tripping.

Sengun is a whole higher tier than Chet. It's not even a debate.

I will admit that Chet has a higher ceiling.

Chet has played 134 and missed 114 games. idk what the hell he is gonna be but we won't know until he gets more games under his belt.

I don't think OKC uses him enough but it isn't due to skill, it is because he missed half this season and hasn't been part of the game plan.

If that dude plays all 82 next year he will have monster numbers.

I mean, it was the MVP who's one of the best iso guys we've seen in years.

OKC send us 10 first round picks for DWhite. They need a 3pt sniper.

Again OKC is different on the road..Indy got a gift in game 1...They could win the title if they just beat this beatable OKC team at home.

They've had the 2nd best record in the league in 2025. They just got off to a slow start.
