OKC in this series is basically what some of our fans advocate for.

Old school mid range and rim attacks.

They are getting completely beaten by the maths currently

They have a balanc3d attack and play with Pace.

They do and I think we could learn a bit from Carlisle’s offence.

Shame we couldn’t stay healthy cause I think we would have run over this Thunder team with a healthy Porzingis.

Love the way they just push the pace and don’t hesitate.

We mismatch hunt too much

He was just an afterthought playing for coach Thibs in new york. It's really amazing how much a player can contribute when they have a coach who believes in them.

In fact, Carlisle has resurrected Aaron Nesmith, and Obi Toppin. And got on both, for relatively cheap.

Nembhard's development has been impressive too.


I forget if he was a late first or an early second draft pick. But certainly was a great GEM.

Pacers left a few points at the line. This quarter will more or less be for all the marbles. Go Pacers.

Had to google it. 31st pick.

Close games are good and all, but I really just don't need the stress. This is way too close.

Pacers are tightening up offensively. Started at the end of the third when they slowed it down for the last few possessions.

Can't believe how invested I feel in this game since we're not playing.

Some guys just have a nose for the ball and are relentless in the pursuit of it. Nesmith has really blossomed in Indy in many facets of the game. Happy for him. Would’ve been hard to do playing behind both Tatum and Brown and with our style of play.

I agree ..the only time I have so much interest in a championship. That doesn't involve Boston is when I root against LAL

But this series is on fire and i'm absolutely pulling for Indiana. .

I really rooted for the Spurs against the Heat, too.

I don't see why
Brad's ideal was 1 ball handler, 3 wings, 1 big
The dream of the Kemba teams was Kemba, JT, JB, Gordon Haywood and Theis
Nesmith couldve been the 3rd wing in the Gordon Haywood role

Wow... That was a horrendous call but not a shock. I guess.
