Whistle every minute and a parade to the free throw line. That's exactly what people want to see in a potential game 7 NBA finals game.

Just a broken game at this point.

The officiating this year was honestly the best I can remember. Still room for improvement, though, and I say start there!!

Not surprised at the Pacers start. Surprised at OKC's.


They hit a bunch of 3s. They'd better hope it lasts.

OKC had as bad of a quarter as I can remember them having in this series and they're only down 3.


They had a good first 4 minutes, and a good final minute. The 7 in the middle were very scruffy.

He’s going to be earning under 5% of the cap in 28 and 29 on that absurd contract

His and Joe's contracts are going to be clutch the first few years of Chet's and JDub's max contracts.


Wouldn't be surprised to see Isaiah Joe on another team next year (or Dillon Jones/Ousmane Dieng). Some of these young guys may be on the move for future picks I think, since the Thunder appear to have their top 8-9 with Topic and Mitchell playing next season, plus two picks.

I'd have Mathurin on a very short leash tonight. Dude is so bad when he's off.

What does it feel like to get completely cooked by TJ Mcconnell?

Eh. 5-14 isn't otherworldly. Just that OKC was a suck ass 1-6. Just feels like they didn't come out super locked in, even with misses. Credit to Indy but 5TOs by OKC is not a clean start.

I have a feeling McConnell is going to end up coaching after his career is over

Outside of the game Mathurin scored 27, he's been brutal. Just brutal.
