I don’t know what to compare this Pacers team to. This just doesn’t happen in the NBA. The Mavs 2011? That team won 57 games and had a legit star. It’s simply that they beat that Heat team that made it surprising.
That Rasheed Pistons team? Even they were better than the Pacers all year and were a veteran team.
The Pacers were an afterthought. They are still kind of young. This shit doesn’t happen.
I would love to see it.
Crazy how when the Cavs came back from 3-1 the whole world was glued to TV and waiting for game 7. This would be 3-2, but should be big news. The Pacers should be big news.
No one is talking about this. A foreign MVP and a team of guys no one follows that closely.
its cause we dont have shit like this anymore
costas = gravitas
I was at Staples for game 6. Got out of downtown just before the riots started.Originally Posted by lol wow
but did you get a bacon wrapped dog with onions no mayo on the way out this was the first title i was alive to remember for and it was fuuuuuuuucking awesome
I know if I bet the Pacers just because I badly want them to win I’ll be siting there when it’s 101-59 at the start of the 4th feeling like an idiot and knowing the better home team always wins this game.
I was going to put a decent bet down just for entertainment purposes. Hope they do win, it's one of the best runs to a title if it happens, but that is almost exactly how I envisioned it playing out, only it was them down around 25 in the second quarter when I talked myself out of it.
how many calls and non calls is SGA gonna get tonight.... i almost can't stand to watch...
I'm not watching it yet, but this is par for the course.

With the amount of these injuries over the last few years, is it something else? I remember reading Nick Van Exel hypothesize that the amount of achilles and calf injuries we are seeing may relate to players strongly preferring low top shoes nowadays when before it was always the opposite. Who knows, but I can't recall a single injury of this type outside of Kobe in the past (who I'm pretty sure wore low tops). It looks like we might have three star players in one playoffs now - the NBA has to look into this.

This is the only kind of shit non-Thunder fans are going to remember from this playoffs. That and the injuries.
i think someone here called it a few days ago, maybe a page or 2 back, that trying to play through hamstring injuries leads to achlles injury... sounds like Haliburton probably suffered a slight tear at minimum or maybe a complete rupture.... guess we will have to wait for the official report but sounds like his dad was in the locker room when the first diagnosis came about....

I got to watch the end of this. The Pacers actually went on a run and completely shifted the momentum until the play below. Another push off/elbow, missed shot, then cheap foul. I would have said this regardless of who won - neither of these teams are really that great. It's just a testament to how bad the basketball being played now is.

Out of every champion this century would you feel comfortable betting them against any of them? The Bucks are the only one I can say that for. This team deserves to have their parade shat on. There's a difference between ball hawking defense and getting away with hacking, holding, and flopping all game every game. I'm not sure who up the chain thinks forcing this type of product is a good idea. The NBA is facing the same problem the NFL is still trying to work themselves out of - aging/retired superstars with no real replacements. The parallels between this team and the Chiefs is eerie.
Even compared to the 2006 and 2016 Finals which were seriously rigged, I don't think any championship team has been as harmful to the brand as this one - the Thunder are universally despised. There's a term for this in pro wrestling, it's called go away heat - heel heat draws interest, this type of garbage causes people to tune out. Thankfully for them almost no one was watching anyway.
Such a boring game.
Tell me what you think SGA is supposed to do in that clip. Should he do a 2015 Harden, just jump directly into the defender (who is already all over him)? People hated Harden for that. Now we (everyone, as you claim) hate the push off?
That play seemed completely fine to me. Also was an arm grab there, which you poked at OKC for before.
What are you watching? That clip shows the most Thunder favorable angle and it's still ridiculous. He pushes off with an elbow before there was anything that can be called an arm grab. After that he jumps under the defender when the defender shifts back towards him. Are you suggesting that leg kick out is anywhere near a natural motion? The guy does this routinely or some variation of it with zero consequences. You're also implying he doesn't jump into defenders. His signature move is to hit the deck, but he does both.Tell me what you think SGA is supposed to do in that clip.

I tried to find more angles of the clip but couldn't, but here's another example earlier in the game. That's an offensive foul.
That fucking sucked, he was lights out before going down.
I had mentioned to my friend how compromised his movement looked while driving to the cup right before it happened.
Have to imagine Haliburton and executives just ignored the medical advice to go for it. Always going to wonder now what could have happened had he not Crimmed out.

What? You don’t like turnovers and free throws? These modern teams just chuck up 3 pointers and hope for the best. They couldn’t run a set play if they had to.

ROFL at Nico taking credit for the highly improbable path that lead to Dallas even being in the lottery then winning with a 1.8% chance. This is one of the most disgusting humans alive.
On a side note, one thing continuously overlooked about Flagg is that he graduated a year early - this means he won the Naismith player of the year award and took his team to the final four, they honestly should have won, in what would have been his senior year in high school. Cooper Flagg will play his first NBA games as an 18 year old. This hasn't happened much since the rule change, and I think LeBron was the only other this young to go number one.
