Refs kept the game from blowing up by controlling the tempo and allowing a straight up gross one-way whistle
Let's see if they let them play in the second half!

How does okc even fix this, this offense is a joke.

Pacers gameplay on SGA has been fantastic. They're hounding him constantly and the dude is exhausted

The other guys on OKC are capable of doing stuff on their own.

If Nembhard is going to deny SGA the ball they have to move it to the other side of the court and have SGA cut back door or seal him on the low block. Daginault is really letting the Thunder down if he can't implement an easy way to counteract Nembhard denying his best player the ball.

LOL my first time hearing his nickname. Where that nickname come from.


The first time I saw it was after game 1 against the Knicks. On RealGM, at least. Not sure if it has been a reddit thing for a while.

The three ball is whats keeping the Pacers in this game. They need to keep this up to have a chance to win this game especially with the calls OKC is getting to the line.

Wouldn't it be funny if Knicks asked Thibs to return and he, too, declined?

IND must not take their foot off the brakes. Every time they mildly complacent, OKC goes on a run

OKC Assist Totals:

Game 1: 13
Game 2: 25
Game 3: 16
Game 4 (First Half): 6

They averaged 27 assists a game during the regular season. The Pacers D have forced them into a lot of ISO scoring. I have to admit I'm really surprised they have been able to do that.

OKC 1-10 from 3 and only 6 assists at halftime. They are being forced to play iso ball but surviving by attacking the basket and getting layups and fouls. The Pacers are playing their game but they’re only up 3. OKC defense is keeping them in the game.
