Soooo... refs reward SGAs offensive flops AND they reward Dorts defensive flops.

Also... Hali is out in a demoralizing injury

What other help does OKC need? For a 25yrs old wilt suddenly arriving in a time machine and subbing out Chet so he can play?

There's too much movement because of how broken the 3pt line is. Players did not use to run around nearly this much in games.


I get it. The movement isn’t changing, so team and personal trainers are going to have to adjust how they train and manage their players.

At least a couple of these the players had injuries leading up them (Tyrese, KD). Maybe they will be more forceful in sitting players

Halli going down and OKC flopping like Harden in his prime is just a brutal 1 2 combo.

With OKC they have literally two guys shooting.


Hali is such a good shooter and passer/playmaker, that there’s no way the Pacers ball movement is better with him out.

Man Indy deserves all the praise
Best player goes out but they can still compete because they're a real team, not overly reliant on anyone.

Calf injuries need to get a shutdown, next is almost always the achilles.

Klay, etc.
Rest in peace Kobe & Gianna

Sloppy execution byt both but Pacers playing harder than OKC that's the difference so far.
