Can't wait for the 30 for 30 on Scott Foster

They would NOT have beaten the Nuggets i dont know about the wolves. Without the calls, and noncalls, this team is nothing special and SGA as MVP is a joke.

Denver was beat up and exhausted. Indy has more in reserve.

Just stay calm.

Those slight pushes rarely ever get called, it becomes a case of, "well how on balance were you in the first place".

I don't mind Nembhard on SGA but if I was Indy I'd put Nesmith on him to end the game. Stronger, taller, makes him more uncomfortable.

Doris Burke doubling down with the scorching hot “Indiana’s offense does better with Haliburton than McConnell” take.

Man, idk where she gets this stuff.

Especially since they didn't have anyone else in mind to take the job.

Haliburton has been in the game for several minutes while the Thunder made their run, it was only once Siakam got back on the floor that the offence started flowing again.

NBA didn't send in the EXTENDER so Indiana would get a fair shake.
