It probably will be Spicy P but I honestly wouldn't mind Nembhard getting it tbh

Pretty decent shout out from Skip

This series is over. Mark D has run out of ideas. The rest of this game is just for stat padding.

OKC's body language means that they know it as well.

I mean, they contributed to that, so they weren't lucky, lol


More minutes into the Joker to make up for the lack of support. Front office failed him.
In reference to our title winning year

Thunder coach needs to be fired after this finals series.

He has absolutely no clue in making plays against a good coach. He relies on isolation and free throws.

Carlisle is absolutely maximising his players and his plays are very effective.

Happy for the Pacers to be up 7 going into the 4th, but they could've ended that quarter better. Three missed FTs, a couple of missed FGs.

Gotta hold on for 12 for minutes.

My favorite part of the Finals is getting to see what it looks like when players actually try to make their full court shots.

The stats didn't account for the fact that JDub and Chet have no experience. Regular season stats are also overrated.

Agree on Chet.

Williams hasn’t even that bad compared to his garbage 2024 playoffs.

The biggest problem is they’ve got absolutely nowhere near enough 3 point shooting in this series.

Indiana has literally baited them into running a 2006 Kobe like offence with SGA just taking contested middies and not generating looks for others.

Their rampant regular season defence isn’t clamping Indiana and it’s taking away a lot of easy buckets for them as well.

SGA is being dared to go for 50.

OKC has 8 total assists... hard to win that way.

Thunder players are out of hope because their offensive scheme is basically reliant on basic moves and isolation contested shots.

So uhhh can you imagine MJ, Lebron, Jocic, Bird, Magic, Kobe getting their water shut off by someone like Andrew Nembhard? I like Nembhard but he’s more like 6’3” and shouldn’t be locking up the so called best player in the league.

Now is the moment for the MVP to show the world what he’s all about

Pacers uncomfortable and in trouble as they're not down 10 in the 4th.

Judging by the minutes, Daigs only really trust 6 guys (with Wallace being the 7th and he's playing poorly).

If OKC finds a way to steal this everything changes. This 4th is the series!
