Weird Google AD: 26 year old who can afford his own and chooses to live in suburbia definitely has kids. I guess he's starting his affair early

Man watching ESPN through Disney + they lower the sound and do black outs, they suck balls for doing this, next season sticking to leaguepass - I cancled it first round, to watch on here, won't be doing that next season.

Yup. And the other guys are the ones initiating offense, usually off a screen action, and SGA is playing off-ball. Which is kinda weird. But it's not been bad. I really expected them to go to Hartenstein with the 2 big starting lineup.

It seems great until the other guys start turning the ball over and throwing up wild shots because the plan is for SGA to be off ball but they they don't have a lot of good ballhandlers and creators.

But maybe that doesn't happen.

They were given 6 consecutive free throws because Pacers players aren't allowed to raise their hands up on defense

Jalen Williams to the rescue for the Thunder. Superb 1st quarter, stabilized their offense and has taken over the ball handling duties to keep SGA fresh. Looks like we’re gonna get another great game

Tried to tell y’all that the NBA wasn’t going to allow the Pacers to go up 3-1 without a fight. Scott Foster was sent in for a reason. OKC is on pace for 50 FT’s right now while mauling Indiana on the defensive end.

I don't get the complaints. OKC has taken almost every shot in the paint. The Pacers have taken almost exclusively jump shots.

Yeah that's what I'm waiting to see. Pacers need to put ball pressure on JWill and whoever is bringing the ball up. There's a reason they have SGA bring the ball up. to minimize turnovers.

Siakam is strong. Great play;

Dort just actually threw Haliburton down and the refs let it to.

They aren’t trying. They aren’t even pretending to want to ref a fair game.

Nothing except extreme hospitality it’s kind of annoying

Honestly it is the way it should be. I hate moron fans who go at people for rooting for the road team.

I’ve been to a bunch of road games and have never had issues. That said, I’m not a trash talker, and I haven’t gone as a fan of the opposing team in the playoffs. Even Knicks fans were great (probably my favorite fanbase to talk to because they like the team as a whole and not just a single player, and were curious about my thoughts about my team), but they have little reason to really oppose a Blazers fan.

indy will win

because okc can still be 1-3 with 2of3games at home. they just have to win g6.

indy must win g4 or they're done

so okc has wiggle room, indy doesn't

Not true. Pacers have attacked the rim multiple times in the past 3 minutes. And 2 of those “fouls” on Indiana were a joke.

If you really believe the NBA fixes games you shouldn't follow the NBA and shouldn't care who wins.

Who wins Game 4 of the NBA Finals?
