Haliburton gunning for that FMVP.

Another garbage bailout call for OKC. It's really infuriating to see such garbage called.

Pacers looking comfortable. Hartenstein has been absolutely lost on defense and the same goes for J-Dub on offense.

Pacers off to a great start but I have no idea whose going to win given that I got this series entirely wrong. Anyway hoping for a great game 7.

The Pacers should be getting their money's worth on those SGA foul.
They're getting called as soon as they look at his direction. Might as well hack him like the Thunder are doing on every single play.

All time series choke if OKC loses this one. Interesting to see how they handle the pressure if they get down double digits early

BOOOOOOOO

he didnt bait. he tried to avoid to get the shot off but the ref bailed him out.

He was also hit on the elbow.
When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?

Please advise….

Nesmith made contact all along Shai's forearm and elbow right at the basket. Crazy that people call that a soft foul when it is about as textbook as it comes.

Im sorry but game 7 and im seeing Shai get regular season calls? Give me a break dude that looked like a fantastic contest from Nesmith.

SGA can get everything he wants right now. He should be touching the ball on every possession.

i trust indy shot making way more than okc's. thunder have to win this by defense and forcing turnovers but right now, after 6 games, indy looks like they have okc's defense figured out. they just have to make the shots.

Nesmith flopping all the time kind of hurts the Pacers though. He’s just flailing and falling all over the place, and it ruined one of their offensive sets, because he was just laying there in the paint.

Just play basketball man.

Non-stop energy from the Pacers. Creating more opportunities by getting offensive rebounds has kept their offense effective against this OKC defense.
