Yup, basketball isn't like football. Teams have more timeouts than they need. Fine to use one now.

Pacers just gotta protect the ball. OKC isn't going to generate crunch time points from their half court offense.

I know you aren't talking after you called the 2014 Spurs a bunch of old role players. Your entire gimmick is doing anything and everything to make everything LeBron did seem bad in retrospect. Not my fault you don't know what you're talking about.


The Spurs had literally zero players to average 17 PPG. Kawhi was still a baby and their big three were all in the wrong side of 30, two of them older than 35.

If any other superstar lost by record margins in the Finals to that team, that would be an instant legacy killer as far as you're concerned. But since it's LeBron, he gets a pass from you. Because Bron fans are the most disingenuous fan base in sports history.


Thanks for proving why you can't be taken seriously. Yes, getting blown out by an all time great team is a legacy killer.

Imagine saying something this stupid and thinking it's a legitimate point.

By putting Indiana at the free throw line? Everything is a conspiracy isn't it?

The Thunder would be down by 20 without the refs.

That one elbow from SGA looked vicious on replay.

That would defeat the whole point then lol

Reffing really to me has not been bad, I mean, yea, some mistakes, bad calls and misses, but even before the last few minutes where it seems to be going more Indiana's way, I wasn't really seeing support for the level of complaint some had.

I’m only being facetious about Scott “The Extender” Foster, but a bunch of ticky tack non-shooting fouls that do nothing but reset possession with a side out would the easiest way to balance a foul count, if he was so inclined to do so, of course

I'm supremely unimpressed by SGA. A one-trick poney and every other drive is an offensive foul.

Incredible to think some people tried to tell me he's better than Edwards or Doncic.


LOL @ mentioning Edwards in SGAs/Lukas category

Props to anyone guarding SGA. They need to be wearing a flak jacket for how often they're taking shots to their ribs and stomach.

Nesmith has had poor defensive discipline all game. I get that he wants to be physical, but he kept getting caught with a hand in the cookie jar.
