This is why Siakam needed to play every minute…

Pacers got to get an al Pacino any given Sunday type speech to come back in the next 12 mins.

The Pacers' inability to grab defensive rebounds and all the turnovers killed them in the 3rd. Looks like their inability to take care of the ball will ultimately be their downfall in this series.

OKC got some home-cookin' from the rims on a couple of shots, forced turnovers with outrageous defense. This would be a 20-point lead if not for McConnell going nuts.

Too many turnovers. Carlisle can be mad, but he actually played 10 players in the 3rd quarter of a Game 7.

Yup I'm glad I'm not the only one seeing the pattern here. He's a frontrunner extraordinaire.

My opinion, he's the Finals MVP for OKC. I know it'll go to SGA, but I find SGA to be underwhelming despite his great stats. Still a great player, but I'm just not impressed.


I think you're the only one that thinks that SGA is not the finals MVP.

It's crazy how TJ gets pushed, hit...and there aren't many calls in his favor. I get he's not a star, but rules are rules.

Yeah it's over. Pacers are giving Pascal the ball when there's no time. He's taken 2 shots like that so far that I remember. That's 2 out of his 9 shots are garbage shots. 20%? Unreal.
