To not call this at the end of a game Scott on a king von run

 

[Guess Who]

Charles Barkley on NBATV saying what I was thinking

How come Indiana didn’t run anything for Siakam? He’s their best one on one player. Only one shot in the 4th quarter

Exactly. They stuck him in the corner instead so Hali could side to side dribble (we know Hali can’t get to the rim against a set defence) and watch Nembhard pull up (he also can’t get to the rack).

Siakam can score in the midrange, get to the rim and play make. He collapses the D.

They just panicked.

Indiana froze up late. That’s it. They stopped running their O. Also give Chet credit for being great guarding on switches. But still, Indiana forgot Siakam was on the court, they stopped moving the ball, Turner and Nembhard started playing too fast, Hali decided to start taking some awful shots.

It was reminiscent of how they lost against the Celtics last year, when they lost three games down the stretch that they’d effectively won.

Pacers gave this one away and may have given away the Larry O-B in the process.

 

[Guess Who]

Indy had a 7-point lead to open the 4th

Only 17 points scored in the quarter.

Pacers really left Ben Sheppard on the floor for way too long during that stretch. Needed to have Hali out there to bury OKC.

We need to see the ratings before we can claim this.

Loser talk you nikkas don’t like basketball

Move around

 

[MVike28]

This is literally a foul.

SGADS

SGA derangement syndrome

Crazy how Scott Foster is such a shytty ref, but he's always reffing the most pivotal games.

The thing is, referees are always given directives from the league and having meetings before games on what they want to look out for and how they want to enforce things. So when people joke around about him being an extender, it's kind of not a joke. He's one of the best at managing the game and looking out for whatever the league has briefed them on.

One of these shytty first time finals refs like Ben Taylor will probably ref game 5 with Marc Davis. They'll probably let the Extender Jr. Tony Brothers do game 6, but Scott Foster is for sure reffing game 7 if it gets there.

Push-offs on offense and push-offs on defense.

Defend your light skin player avatar. It’s clockwork at this point

Siakam was the GOAT for 2.5 quarters, then it's like he changed his mind

This the one I’d be the most pissed about if I were a pacers fan
