Pacers showing why Mark D went to one big in the first place... :lol:

They didn’t go for that SGA bait though, maybe it’s not that bad?

I was shocked

It seems like the Pacers are playing full adrenaline.

Pacers are fired up tonight. But it is a long game. If they continue to show patience on offense, they can get a lot of good looks.

Yeah weak foul call on Nesmith.


And before Chet accidentally tripped over Spicy P's foot.

I don't understand how you get to this point in the season, against this team, and still help off of the corners.

He's been awesome, definitely a playoff riser.

I like that Chet and Jalen Williams have come out real aggressive. Once again they're drawing fouls (1 each on Siakam, Nembhard, and Nesmith -- the 3 guys who had 3 fouls at the half in game 3), getting to the line, and putting immense pressure on the Pacers' D.

I wouldn't worry about the score too much at this point.

The Pacers need to be more aggressive going to the bucket. The 3s are falling now, but they need to generate more pressure on the OKC D.

Dort and Caruso need to be more disciplined. They are over helping on drives.

I didn't like the move from a psychological perspective even if it had merit. They're the 68 win team, they shouldn't be the ones that need to make the first adjustment.

Kind of living in the moment

Always thought Nembhard was an underrated player , even if bit of a pest, hopefully the media start giving him his flowers after these finals.

It's because there are 2 bigs out there and OKC is being so aggressive that Indy is blowing by them and forcing help


Exactly.

I always kept saying OKC is not some kind of unbeatable superteam. The Knicks could have succeeded against them also.
