Too much offensive responsibility. And the Pacers are smartly putting him in actions to wear him down.

Is thunders offense going to hit any 3s? Feels like I've seen only SGA middy's, some layups + free throws.

At this point I want it over in 4-1, Pacers Champions. I have not seen this bad officiating since 2006 Mavs vs Heat. Hopefully the Pacers hold strong.

A lot of '90s Pacers in the house tonight. Reggie wearing a throwback jersey.

It's so bad. Like legit awful (at least in this series). Dude gets blown by, swipes and then jogs. Irks the sh#% outta me.

His defense is just Skinny Luka atm


They were telling us he was a better defender than Giannis during the season.


WUT??? :lol: :lol: :lol:

Who the hell said that?

Finally a little kerfuffle. It's been way too long in these playoffs.

I hate when players like Caruso whine about hard hits when he smashes players all the time.

There no way that’s a flagrant. This is just a waste of time.

It is a flagrant
When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?

Please advise….

Ok OKC is on one of those defensive spurts right now. Pacers cannot turn the ball over. They've got to keep their cool.

Toppin didn't want to take an elbow into his ribs so we're reviewing this for flagrant?
