  1. That offensive rebound allowed to three pointer and turnover to layup after the Pacers cut the lead to two really killed any chance they had to steal this game.

  2. Pacers shot themselves so damn much in the foot tonight. Now or never for them on Thursday. Even before getting banged up Tyrese was awful tonight.

  7. Haliburton 0 FG on only 6 attempts is unacceptable. Cost them late game because OKC knew he wasnt a threat to shoot.

  9. That run from OKC in the 4th was the highest level of basketball I’ve seen that I can remember

  10. I don’t care that much about the Haliburton superstar discourse. But 0 FG’s is pathetic

  12. 4 points on 0/6 shooting in game 5 of the finals from a “superstar” is a generational disasterclass

  13. Jalen Williams is only 24 man. Bro is so nice with it, he was just doing everything out there.

  15. OKC lose game 7 vs Denver and J-Dub is labelled as a playoff dropper and a “dynasty starts after you” player btw. Crazy

  16. Props to Oklahoma. They executed down the stretch with stifling defense and timely shots. Indy shat the bed under pressure. The turnovers were killer. 0FGM game from Halliburton is horrible too. Even if you are a great playmaker you cannot have that as a star in a critical finals game.

  17. Zero FGs made in a finals game as a no1 guy is nasty work, historic levels of stink

  20. Carlisle overthought this one. Gonna be a painful summer if Indy loses.

    Haliburton’s ability to go ghost every other game as a scorer is the most bizarre thing I’ve seen from a star.

  23. Carlisle kinda blew this one for Indy. Taking Pascal out when he’s doing literally everything for them. Keeps him out for way too long. Then Nembhard commits like 15 turnovers in a row and TJ never comes in despite his 3rd Q performance.

    Had the lead down to 2, but then he subs P out for like 3 minutes and Nembhard went full basketball terrorist.

    Pacers gonna be kicking themselves for throwing game 4 away man. They literally had it and completely fumbled it.

  24. Pacers uncharacteristically had two of the worst back to back end games I’ve ever seen

    J-Dub playing like 2016 LeBron and Kyrie but now up 3-2 instead

  27. Andrew Nembhard came back in with 7:20 left in the 4th quarter and touched the ball four times on offense before being taken out:

    1. Pass to Haliburton

    2. Turnover (bad pass)

    3. Turnover (bad pass)

    4. Blocked FG

  29. If we don’t make the finals again for awhile it’s gonna keep me up at night why the fuck Carlisle didn’t realize what every other person watching that game did and bench hobbled Hali for TJM

  31. So why was tj mcconnell benched for 75% of the fourth quarter when he was the reason the game got close in the first place?

  32. It’s crazy how the Pacers spent these entire playoffs being so clutch only to absolutely collapse down the stretch in these last 2 games

  33. If JDub has a million fans, then I am one of them. If JDub has ten fans, then I am one of them. If JDub has only one fan then that is me. If JDub has no fans, then that means I am no longer on earth. If the world is against JDub, then I am against the world.

  34. I’m sorry yall can’t appreciate okc, they’re so damn fun to watch. Insane defense they just shrink wrap people.

  36. Jalen Williams just played the game of his life. Holy shit what a game from him.

  40. If I was the Pacers I would have simply won game 4 at home and been up 3-1

  43. I knew it already, but damn, the way OKC clamped down on the comeback this time was vicious and methodical. Props

  44. There’s a lot of talk about on the pacer side but the thunder just played a hell of a game of basketball. All the credit to them that’s why they won 68 games

  45. That run by OKC after it became a 2 point game in the 4th was championship quality. Any less mentally tough and the Pacer voodoo happens again.

    JDub just willed them to a win.

  46. The officiating has been mostly fine this series but lots of complaining from non-OKC/Pacers flairs makes it feel like both teams are complaining.

  47. Damn, the anti Thunder brigading is never more clear than when Pacer threads are 10x the upvotes. Damn, people love the underdog.
