Nesmith is going to have nightmares about Williams, while Hali has nightmares about Dort.

JDub has been great but regarding SGA... are we watching the same game?
Sga has been fantastic on both sides of the ball, idk what that guy is talking about

Damn JDuB really cementing all those doubts people having about him struggling in big games. These past 3 games have shown he is going to a prefect #2 beside SGA for a long time.

Nembhard and Halliburton have been a disgrace to the game of basketball tonight.

Pacers have never down in any series this playoffs while OKC has. I do not expect resiliency from them.

Horrific performance by Hali but you take the good with the bad. They wouldn't be here without his late game heroics throughout the playoffs.

As clutch as he has been this playoffs, Haliburton is just too inconsistent.

That's also the reason why Siakam became ECFMVP

Not at all lol


If he has a monster game 6 and maybe 7, I wouldn't count him out.
