OKC has no chance with this differential from 3. And if they can only shoot threes at home, then they lost this series in game 1.
When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?

Please advise….

Guy he struggled with the most in these playoffs has been Gary Trent Jr of all people, which is crazy.


Trent doesn't really dribble or create so Nembhard can't be in his **** all game like with scorers.

Haliburton is an insanely good passer. Like yeah, we’ll give Nembhard and Toppin credit for hitting these 3s, but they’re open because Haliburton is hitting them with some masterful passes that basically freeze the defense and give them that extra second to get a good shot off.

I would have never guessed in a million years that Toppin would become this kind of productive player after flaming out in New York. 100% guilty of calling his career a wrap.

As soon as Toppin jammed that putback that should have been it. They should call the game whenever he does that it cause its clearly over.

I was hoping to find something better to watch than this game, but nothing's Toppin this.

Ha ha ha ha ho ha ha ha ha

I wonder how many times that joke's been made in the last three minutes.

OKC 1 for 12 from 3. IND 11 for 27 from 3.

You expect IND to cool off with their shooting but so far in these playoffs, it never happened.

Both defenses scrapping so hard, it’s like a playground game. Difference right now is the 3 point line. OKC can’t make a jumper all night, it’s a miracle that they’re still in it

They have a true egalitarianism mindset. They don't mind everyone taking the shot if they're open. There's no hierarchy in a sense. Whereas other teams, some guys gotta get their touches, their shots or they get pissy. Or it's the coach's scheme limiting the role of other guys.

Dude is a pure PG and ppl are mad that he isn't trying to score 30 ppg.

Seeking out Obi on back to back 3s like that is just top tier sh#%. Shameful that so few teams are able to do that.

*Part of why Kerr always sh#% on the young guys for GSW. You'd see the guy screaming "Get the ball BACK to Steph!" Just because someone passed you the ball doesn't mean it is your turn to ISO. whip that sh#@ around to the hot hand!

My brother was right about this series. He said three's, Toppin contributions, and taking advantage of Hartenstein. Dude knows ball.
