Joe can't play in this series...He's a heck of a shooter, but he gets picked on relentlessly on the other end.

Yep. That's why he only played 4 minutes last game despite going 2/2 from 3.

Don't even know where to start with this. So much wrong lmao

Pascal has 4 steals. Record in a finals game is 7.
When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?

Please advise….

Nice call back and rightfully so. TJ has more frenetic energy bt both are so methodical when they get around the rim and just kind of use that push shot even on layups.

By the way, this was the fist time that Indiana has scored over 30 in the first quarter in this series. First team we won a 1st quarter this series too. OKC had won all 3 1st quarters so far by keeping us below 30.

OKC attacking the paint in the 1st quarter. It’s really something they have to do because it’s the one weakness of the Pacers defense.

OKC was obviously right to trade Giddey for Caruso, but it is clear that they have lost significant ball handling in doing so. Giddey is very unlikely to have been playable this deep in the playoffs at this stage, but it needs to be addressed. They have Topic, but I would be surprised if he can stay on the floor in these situations too, for at least a couple of years if ever.

Shai absolutely cooking, then we got a possession where he casually jogs to the corner while Cason Wallace is the only one to touch the ball. Absolutely hate it. Demand the ball and keep attacking.
