If OKC is making their 3s, this game will be over by halftime

If I were Indy, I'd try to force SGA to shoot 3s and force him to get 50-60 to win. Shut down the role guys. You have to pick your poison.

Hilarious missed travel for SGA leads to a 3. Pacers have no chance 5 on 8

Pacers have to be trailing to play their best. They don’t know what to do when the game is tied or when they’re winning.

Marky D has called several perfectly timed TO's in this series. Frustrating as a Pacers supporter.

Don't know how this is still an 8 point game...

I wonder how many more times Pacers have to come from behind and win the game for this stupid ridiculous statements to end ?

I would love to see the stats on how many loose balls the Pacers get. It feels like the ball always finds them.

Daigneualt has made some good adjustments. For example, SGA is playing a lot more off ball. He isn't the one bringing the ball up all the time. That means that our pressure won't impact him as much and he'll be fresh at the end of games.
