This is a winnable game for Ind but they have to be more careful with the ball. It is not like OKC is playing well.

Have you seen a single pushoff called all postseason? It's not a foul anymore just accept it.

NBA Finals game 7 scoring record is 43 by the logo. SGA could make history in that sense, already got 12

J-Dub has been shaky in the 1st half. Indy can absolutely win this if he doesn’t lock in.

Most overplayed sports moment since the infamous Bartman foul ball.


Idk when sports broadcasts changed where we no longer respect the player and show a close up of them screaming in agony in slo-mo 1000 times. It’s unnecessary

What a legendary game with Haliburton down the Indiana pacers rally to win this game.

Pacers losing their star guard and having biased calls against them makes this more heartbreaking than it already is.

I'm cheering for the Pacers, but that was a clear hook on Nembhard.


And he tripped him (inadvertently). Easy call.

The issue is Indiana got in the penalty early, so what should be a side out is free throws for SGA. And OKC got in the penalty with SGA on the bench.

I have. Nembhard has been called for it. Pretty sure that Brunson was called for it against us as well.

If OKC gets the lead to double digits I expect things to start to snowball on the Pacers.

Looks like, OKC is able to swipe at the ball and foul before they can even secure a rebound. Maybe it's just me though.


Toppin is all athleticism and height. Pray he doesnt suffer a lower leg injury because his fundamentals are terrible

8 fouls called on each team.

18 paint points for OKC. 4 for Indy, who is just hanging on the perimeter.

These comments are joke. Thunder getting fouled a bunch.

FTA still flopping like a fish

The sloppy play we’re seeing is why you should always bet the under in game 7.
