Hali being agressive early and hitting shots is going to open so much space on offense for Pacers. Keep shooting threes, forget about those mid range shots Siakam.

Mathurin continues to play impossibly bad basketball.

I don't want to downplay SGA, but his finishing ability hasn't been what was advertised in the regular season.
There's a lot of assistance..

Hallburton had a clean drive to the basket with Hartenstein on his hip. No reason to kick that out.

Jdub is a bit of a concern. He looks rattled.

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.


Are You at the game ?

Nembhard had the ball and Williams grabbed him from behind that’s a foul.

But some Pacer(s) need to drive and go strong to the basket. If they keep picking up their dribble with nowhere to go, they'll have tons of garbage possessions like the last one.

I've lost ten bucks so far at work predicting Thunder in 4, then Thunder in 5. I'm not opening my mouth again till the game is over :lol:

Caruso was godawful in game 6. So this is a welcoming sign.

Obi keeps leaving Caruso wide open. Indy's help defense not helping.

Pacers need to star hand checking and holding on every drive like the Thunder do.
