I cant stop laughing at the thought that Carlisle lost this game because he didnt put RJ during crunch time :lol:

Only Pacer worth mentioning this game is TJ , honorable mention Pascal and Obi , THATS IT


He **** the bed in game 4 when he inexplicably benched Obi for Myles like he did for Knicks game 3. Winnable game. I dont know how much you can blame him for this one. Hali got straight up locked the **** down by Lu Dort

Why is Siakam's balance so bad?

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

it is because they completed 4 miracle comebacks. they have the resiliency but i don't see them keeping their cool in game 7. or at least be cooler than okc

I mean, look what happened with Tatum?

All it takes is one big injury to throw things off the rails. Can’t predict years from now when one freak play can change everything.

Haliburton is an average nba point guard. Guy literally has no ability

Most overrated player in the league - as voted by his peers. For good reason.


Cmon kids. He’s clearly injured, and you just saw him play like a star most of this series. Get out of middle school and learn some nuance.
People also need to stop brining up the poll. 13 players voted for him, out of 90. Hardly a representative sample size
