1. im so happy we get Doris Burke all finals long.

2. I audibly cringed when Doris said “send that back young son”

   She wanted to say a different word so fucking bad

3. Doris is talking herself out of a job.

4. Man whose decision was it to let Doris broadcast the finals

5. This broadcast is so corny

6. Every time Doris tries to sound hip, all I can think about is “Sweet sassy mo-lassy!”

7. All those assets & the Pacers couldn’t find a better backup center than Tomas Bryant?

8. Why does the female announcer sound like she talks out of the corner of her mouth

9. Bring back Mark Jackson

10. Jdub isnt made for the finals man, prove me wrong Jdub.

11. Please Pacers… We need you to pull this out… for the good of basketball.

12. Send that back young son 😤

13. Please just normal Chet and dub games

14. King push

15. tf doris saying lmao 😭

16. these pacers are fun to watch

17. Alright. I am intrigued by the Alien show.

18. If they gave us a Manning-cast style broadcast where we could only hear Mike Breen and not Doris and RJ you know everyone would watch that instead lmao

19. “SeND thAT bACk yOUng SOn”

20. I like how the pacers never get tired. It’s awesome.

21. >”Send that back young son”

    😂☠️ this type of sh why she getting canned

22. There’s a sizable contingent on this sub that’s more interested in the commentary than the basketball

23. Pacers shooting stupidly good from 3; hard to beat

24. Doris is like that one kid trying to fit in with the cool kids

25. I love the Pacers ball movement. Every possession, everyone touches the ball it seems. Unlike the iso heavy offense of so many teams

26. Young son…

27. Doris off that xanax

28. I don’t like having a camera on the glass. How are the poor guys out there supposed to hit huge sky hook banks that kiss the top of the glass and drop in? Really limiting the players.

    For real though it feels weird to have a camera in the field of play.

29. Bro this shotmaking from this team

30. Hey what was that pusha t song playing just now?

31. Yeah SGA may have to drop 35 every game because Chet and JDub don’t look ready for this at the moment

32. Not even worried about Dort defending Hali. Just worried about him trying to injure him

33. chet needs to lock in

34. If I sign for a Kia, does Draymond punch me in the throat for free, or is that a part of a package?

35. Man, I just don’t wanna hear a gramma call an NBA final. So fucking boring

36. Chet and Jalen Williams aren’t stars, they can’t do anything in the halfcourt

37. is nbc getting the finals next year? please say yes

38. Lol the Hartenstein pronunciation is throwing everyone off commentary, po-tay-to/po-tah-to

39. I need this series to be over so I never have to see that Draymond Kia commercial ever again

40. Doris Burke using the phrase “free throw merchant” thinking it’s a compliment:

41. Fuck these Jimmy Neutron looking ass 🏆 out there man 

42. If OKC is this juggernaut that I keep being told they are I would expect them to react to a game 1 home loss by blowing the doors off the pacers in game 2.  If they barely eke out a win that would be telling. 

43. Shots going to start dropping ball movement looks good.

44. If the Pacers win this game, it will be because they scored more points than the Thunder

45. Why are prices specifically higher in Alaska and Hawaii for Wingstop?

46. Very impressed with the Pacers this playoffs. I think they can beat the Thunder.

47. I would pay good money not to listen to doris

48. Even if OKC goes down 0-2, they’d still be favored in the series. Nothing wrong with making the team with the best record sweat a little
