He mad after he was blueballed by Siakam in the ECFs.


Well right now he's hitting his shots and Siakam can't hit anything.

Youtube TV advertising that a millionaire needs to watch games on their app in someone else's house sums up how ridiculous their prices are.

My legal broadcast on the ESPN main site has completely desynched audio.

My VPN stream from the east has worse frames but is at least sounds right play by play. ESPN really, really needs to figure their ish out.

Big call but if Hali can cook all game, Pacers will win.

The calf probably isn't going to affect him shooting wide open 3s.

So sick of the free throw merchant and the OKC floppers getting ridiculous calls all season.

How do the refs keep falling for this BS when it's well documented what they are doing?

It was the one redeeming skill he had that I thought made him useful as a starter. This team struggles rebounding.

I think he averaged 7 or 8 as a starter.

Myles Turner is going to need to hit 2-3 3-pointers tonight.

OKC went into this the big favorites. They'll never live it down (and will end up if they lose tonight, losing both game 1 and 7 on their home floor). Pressure is definitely on them.

In slow motion, maybe you can see a foul.. but the argument is Do they call that both ways? And that is where you would lose.

That and of course late call.. So no..
2 things need to go.. my lack of spell check and Joe.. :nod:

Watch party at the arena is so awesome. I remember doing it in 2016 when Cleveland won. Incredible experience.

I want to see some J Dub shots. I know SGA and Caruso are going to bring it. Not so sure about Dub and Chet.
