I've called them #3s all year and I've been getting to think that's generous for Chet :lol:

Couldn't have asked for a better game.

If OKC loses this they should be sent back to Seattle.

I get they probably caught a lot of teams out during the dregs of the regular season, but okc’s offense is so dreadful its crazy they are where they are

Pacers watch party. Halliburton injury happens around 43 min in?

Watch on YouTube

I don't know about all that but there's no excuse for giving that to Dort out in the open in the backcourt. It was embarrassing for him to attempt it and for that attempt to be validated is pathetic

This just shows how truly deep Indy is. Their best player gets hurt and they still ball out and are leading at half.

Super deep and incredibly smart team basketball.

Why though and why almost always top players?

They have the ball more and are making those cuts more?

There has to be a study done on this. Seems like it is happening so much more

They just have so many headstrong cats. Siakam, Nembhard, McConnell, Toppin, Nesmith, etc. Mathurin at least believes he's the second coming of Tracy McGrady.

Never want to make fun of major injuries, but at least he's got that towel for the tears.

Not that I am a Beal fan, but guy has some talent we desperately lack. I think it's a non starter with Giannis?

The first two SGA FTs there was barely any contact and SGA was trying to avoid contact in fact. Mathurin got slapped on wrist on that made 3 above the break. Mathurin got fouled on the arm on a missed layup that turned into an OKC 3 on the other end. One of the TJ TOs that turned into a layup he got shoved. Plus that baaad Dort flop. Problem is these weren't even borderline and are automatic calls on the other end.

Uhhh massive carry by SGA ignored and a 3. This is just ridiculous.

blazza18 · Post #318 » by **blazza18** » Mon Jun 23, 2025 1:34 am

Yeah I thought it was a carry live as well. Official must have not seen it or thought he saw a deflection. Tough miss.

Pacers gotta try to hang on as long as possible and hope that puts OKC under more pressure.

In the end, I feel like most NBA series are decided by whose core players are the healthiest.
