So sloppy. You’d think Okc is up by at least 10

Siakam had an early 5 points, but 2 really bad TOs that basically gave those points right back.

I don’t expect Haliburton to do much. He’s just not a guy who’s going to be looking for his own shot much, and they know that.

E$PN used to do it often years back for NBA Finals and platoff games, at least ABC did.

Hopefully it continues on.
I know NBC will do it, they used toalways do it often and CBS as well, decades ago.

Holmgren has so much potential to be an absolute monster lol.

Necessary tech there by Carlisle. Nembhard was clearly fouled here and he has to stand up for his players.

Carlisle is pissed and rightfully so

Pacers won't get a single call unless its a hack. Embarrassing for the league.

Nembhard fouled on one end, SGA pushed off on the other. No calls.

Is OKC just not going to be called for fouls now?

Pacers have no chance if this is the whistle they get.

When Caruso looks like George Gervin you know you're in trouble

Don't think the foul even mattered. He was just looking to slow this down imo. Had nothing to do with the play.

Caruso is a much better finisher at the rim than you would think

Carlisle is fuming. Can't say I blame him.

I'm getting really tired of OBVIOUS calls not being made.

Like really tired of it.

Lmao that one lady behind Carlisle got the death stare when he was getting T’d

The amount of contact that officials assume is good defense due to OKC's reputation is sickening. It has happened this entire postseason.

Sometimes these teams are so sloppy that I can't believe it is the NBA Finals.
I guess part of it is faster pace, but still.

Toppin got his order of operations wrong

Who seizes a commanding 3-2 lead?
