Nah ESPN won't shut up about it. Kinda hard to forget.

That and how many Canadians are in this series are two of their only talking points.

If they pull this off, Rick Carlisle should be recognised as a top 5 coach of all time, if not top 3.


Top 3 I'd say, he already is top 5

And Pascal Siakam officially becomes the best player of the 2016 draft. A lot of legacies could potentially be made tonight.

Can the that's game nonsense stop pls after every missed shot. Pacers haven't let the lead get past 5 this whole time I think, even the betting lines remained the same since start despite Hali tragedy. This has to end exciting, has to!

OKC fans (least the ones that attend games) tend to be Boomers and Happy Clappers.

They lack the passion of most other teams, I don’t think they will run Chet out of town (If he was on the Lakers or Knicks though, he would be packing his bags already)

Pacers right now really could use some like a Valanciunas. They can't even take advantage of the size advantage inside because Turner just fumbles everything.

TJ needs to imagine being in the middle of a sea of yellows and play his game.

In other news. Water is wet. The sky is blue.

Game 7's are rarely well played on both sides. The last excellent great game 7 I saw aside from Golden State/Cleveland was the Spurs/Clippers Round 1 in 2015.

Okc is the least scary borderline 70 win team ive ever seen.

A team like the 67 win Spurs from 2016 was scarier. Prolly the least intimidating since what 07 Mavs? No wonder so many teams in the west wanted to play them and had no fear. Their offense stinks

OKC players + coaches gotta stop messing around.

Guys like McConnell + Nembhard live for these big moments. On the other end guys like Wallace and Caruso thrive in tight games as well.

Game is going to come down to coaching, and whoever has a better game between SGA and Siakam.
