NBA: *** 2024 NBA thread ***

[HFCS]

Oh yeah, I'd only put the likelihood of OKC winning the next two games at 10-15%. Unfortunately it seems like Indy winning both is about the same. I don't think they can win the series without these next two.

If they don't get next two, you're banking on game 6 forcing game 7 as the only real chance.

It would be pressure situation where one team is clearly more loaded and playing at home, the other has just slightly more experience via coaching and one player but on road.

Of course barring injuries which can always tilt anything.

Need a big shooting night from the Pacers tonight. The crowd will be amped. Hate that Tyrese isn’t 100%.

ESPN/ABC pre game is terrible.

We're not really sure.

IIRC he played pretty dynamite that first game he had the wrist all wrapped up.

He said he is dealing with some lower leg thing, but he will be fine.

How can the network that brought us College Gameday be so bad at this now? Are there any shows they do well these days? They got rid of all the talent and now just left with pompous ********.

Did one of those giant balls bruise his knee?

 

[Bigman38]

An elbow to the head is only a common foul in the nba?

 

[Clonehomer]

FFS NWS! Stop releasing thunderstorm warnings county by county! You see the path, release them all so they stop breaking into the game.

Basically zero chance they'll call another foul on SGA for at least the rest of the first quarter now.

Gonna have to ride Siakam

So, if you get fouled, just throw up a shot eventually, and it's a shooting foul. Got it

I wonder how they decide which possessions to defend Haliburton 94 feet. Seriously, some made baskets they do, some they don't.

I'll live with Chet throwing up ugly garbage, much rather that than SGA doing anything.

 

[bozclone]

Pacers needs to make shots

 

[rosshm16]

Dort has a really slow release but it must be an optical illusion or something because he always gets it off.

 

[RezClone]

Haliburton needs to take it himself more in the half court. Just a little bit.

 

[rosshm16]

Pacers passed up like two layups on that last possession.

 

[CY88CE11]

I don't understand why the amount of contact required for a foul constantly changes. And, more often than not, it comes at Indy's expense

 

[HFCS]

Probably the first truly criminal call of the Finals there. Pacers win 4-1 easy without breaking a sweat if that’s a foul on OKC.
