Both teams look exhausted.

OKC isn’t very deep outside of their big three, and Chet doesn’t look all the way back from that broken hip.

Hang in there Indy. Pascal takes over in 2nd half. Gets jersey retired by raptors and pacers.

SGA's done a phenomenal job letting the game come to him. Needs more from his teammates, tho

We might need to make a serious run at landing Andrew Nembhardt.

No thats his backside.

Lowry's upside is mental and psychological.

OKC been trash they don’t deserve it unless SGA drops a 30 point triple double.
2019 Eastern Conference All Stars

Derozan
Lowry
Ibaka
Valanciunas
Van Vleet
Delon Wright
Lebron
Embiid

There are only 2 teams in the league that rank in the top 6 in offensive and defensive efficiency: the Golden State Warriors and the Toronto Raptors.

The game is there for the taking. Rooting for Pascal, Finals MVP in reach.

Both nemhard and neismith playing dpoy level defense is the reason pacers are where they are imo

Clearly defense is the difference between winning and losing for this team.

championship might hinge on whether jdub shows up in the 2nd half or continues stinking it up from the field.

I don’t want Indiana to win this as they used crooked practice by having Siakam reduce his value so that we didn’t end up with Nembhard, Walker or Mathurin, but they have been the better team and they look tough like our previous engine with Lowry.
