Another OKC adjustment: they're picking up ball carriers from the backcourt immitating Indy.

It's looking more and more like Pacers figured OKC out.

OKC's historic defense is being shredded.

For what it’s worth, some Knicks fans on this forum who went to some games said they were blown away by how kind everyone was to them.

Pacers hosed already


Yeah weak foul call on Nesmith.


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


I've often thought that when the NBA sees a game pulling away they make calls like that to try and keep it from being a blowout.

But I'd like to think that's not really the case.

Obi Toppin's mid range shot has really improved since he joined The Pacers.

He's been awesome, definitely a playoff riser.

But come on, as far as Canadians go, Shai is Shai.


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.


Fair.

Yeah he's showing how being a bit of a dick came be an advantage when you're in these competitive environments.

And not letting SGA bring the ball up anymore to save his energy from getting pressured.

Pacers absolutely shredding Ihart, and I assume OKC will fix it but they basically dig themselves a ten point hole in an elimination game. Carsile always two steps ahead

Carlisle is a great coach. Outcoached Thibs and outcoaching OKC as well.

Downright insane how much more physical OKC is allowed to be. Totally unfair
