J-Dub/SGA a combined 21-21 from the line. They needed it, they got it done.

The lack of discipline by Nesmith cost Indy 3-1 lead, they were up 4 points 2 minutes left when the lazy defending started. They choked as the team, the big stage nerves cost them this game late. They got used to be down in the clutch. Different when you are up, fav to win the game late.

Doris Burke and RJ really suck....they kissed SGA ass the whole game and he only got cheap fouls by indy late. All the free throws late ruined the game for me. The ref ticky tack fouls was the hero of the game.

Hopefully Indy wins game 5 away so the MVP stops winning the game by elbowing defender to death....

I’ve hated the NBA for a long time now, but my love for the Pacers kept me interested.

Tonight made it clear, it’s not a sport. The Thunder were gifted a free win in a Championship series. They didn’t earn this.

But ultimately, if I don’t feel like this is a sport, there is no point in watching.

Blessings to all.
Lol I'm with the pacers but the whining in here is insane. Okc was just better down the stretch

Tough loss. Hopefully they bounce back. But OKC needed this game more.

Regulation game taking almost 3 hours to finish goes to show the refs influenced the game hard...

Series over. Thunder will win it. Pacers with similar loss to Celtics in 2022 - getting 3-1 lead was the only chance to win the series for Celtics back then, the same with Pacers now. Pacers won't win it.

Pacers are human after all, still think they steal another on the road.

Don't tell me the freethrow attempts were close. People saw the game. OKC were in the game because of the calls.

A lot of unnecessary fouls made by neismith and mathurin in the 4th. They put OKC in the bonus early that 4th quarter. You know SGA foul baiting eventually going to kick in soon especially with Scott foster reffering that man blows his whistle for unnecessary things

Mathurin says hi

Well he had to go and do that do end the game lol, I made that post before all the missed FT's


I know :lol:

Thought it was funny he immediately shat the bed right after you posted that.
