As bad as Turner has shot in this series, the guy has 10 years of NBA basketball that tells us you can't just leave the guy open. There's only one half of basketball left in the season. You can't give him wide open 3's and so far he's gotten one tonight as the Thunder have closed on him pretty quickly.

I agree. So far, a well officiated game.

OKC is hard to watch. Last year's Celtics and the nuggets the year before last, would have smoked these guys. And it's painful listening to ESPN pretend like SGA is "creating space"

Gotta start load managing the season before, lol.

Pacers deserve all the respect in the world. Haliburton goes down, and they still scrapped their way to a 1 point lead at half time.

I really don’t expect them to win, because I think they’ve had a lot of hot shooting and going off pure heart, but eventually that will give out.

The fact that the pacers are still in this is beyond amazing.

Haliburton is a great player, but Indiana is so deep, they struggle to find Jarace Walker minutes. It also helps they have two other point guards on their roster in Nembhard and McConnell.

Myles Turner needs to snap out of his shooting funk ASAP.

He’ll be missed late in the 4th.

Absolutely. I’m just explaining why the Pacers are doing enough to weather the storm, so far.

Why would you want anyone to get hurt? Just a weird statement. All of these guys are working hard to get here.

I'm just laughing, he looks so ridiculous in that suit screaming about sharks or whatever.

THERE IS BLOOD IN THE WAHTER!
THIS IS THE 50TH ANNIVERSARY OF JAWS AND STEVEN SPEILBERG IS NO WHERE TO BE SEEN
IT'S REDICULOUS!

With apologies to OKC fans, you guys are just great. Truly. Get your dynasty. Holy crap the entire hoops world wants an upset game seven now. Go Pacers!

And to think he got $100M or so for his BS. And some people think he should run for president.

HE thinks he should run for president. Those are the 'some people'. :lol:

He's a narcissist know-it-all like the rest of Washington. He'd fit right in unfortunately.

My god, this half time analysis was even worse. Why not just go full commercial if that's all you can come up with. Embarrassing. The world leader in sports my a**.

Nembhard is so underrated. Wish the Wolves had him.

This is like Rocky vs Apollo in the first movie… Apollo might get the decision but didn’t win decisively.

Entire NBA not just KD lol

I don't know if you watched the playin games but LaVine refused to take a heave when his team was down going into the 4th. It is appaling.

I just looked it up, and that may have just been SGA's fourth heave of his career (he has three in the reg season and no PO data). I blame the prior generation for this BS.

Durant is the worst about it but post-Cavs Part 1 LeBron has been almost as bad. He took a ton of heaves when he was young, but then had a 12 year stretch where he took a total of 3.

Who wins the 2025 NBA Championship?
