Hartenstein is a guy I wanted the Bulls to sign back when he was on Denver and the Clippers. Dude is a solid C.

Still sucks the Knicks couldn't re-sign him. He was awesome for them.

100% not a charge. He was in the air clearly before he stopped moving


1 leg was moving, the other was established and Williams barrels straight into the middle of his chest. Seen those calls go in favor of the defender tons of times.

No turnovers for Indiana...Probably the most important stat of the game. That's the biggest key in slowing down the OKC offense.

Messi scored a free kick to win it against Porto.

Haliban with the game winning three this game.

When's the last time we had a game 7 in the finals? 2016 right? It would be nice to finally get one again

I think what may help Haliburton not make his injury worse is his shooting form. It resembles more of a hop than a full jump like other players

Pacers looked lethargic to start but they are moving with energy now. Amazing how much the energy level picks up when you're knocking down the long ball.

It's been a fun series, I'd love a Game 7 as a neutral fan.

Everyone previous team is feeling the Hartenstein blues. All of us Clippers fans wanted him back too, but they REALLY needed and point guard and the money was spent on John Wall which did not work out at all as we know.

There's leeway, but I think Zarba made the right call. His trunk was also moving.

True agreed.

Ya, 2016

Cavs rallied down 3-1 in the series. To win 4-3.
Won at GSW game 7.

A big part of that is getting offensive boards. You get great looks on those kick-outs. If the Pacers can keep the pressure on the boards it makes a huge difference.
