NBA: *** 2024 NBA thread ***

[HFCS]

Game changed immediately when Siakam took it to enforcer linebacker Dort. They need to seek him out like that and attack him since he’s uniquely allowed to foul.

Finally got one to stick.

Now the whole team is hot nice

Hali not shooting well, but he's taking the good shots available to him, which he wasn't doing in game 5

 

[HFCS]

If Dort is just a normal player on D the Pacers are the significantly better team. If he’s out there physically destroying everybody the Thunder are basically unbeatable. It’s that simple.

The **** SGA gets away with is comical.

Shoves the defender off no call

 

[FerShizzle]

I don’t understand why the pacers are defending that pick in roll so far from the basket.

The **** SGA gets away with is comical.

He learned from watching CC videos.

Toppin for Turner, please.

 

[HFCS]

Thunder comeback is because they are banging and hacking on D while Pacers are trying to play clean and avoid contact. Start reaching and grabbing, worst case you get a few calls.

Hali not shooting well, but he's taking the good shots available to him, which he wasn't doing in game 5

Why isnt he creating shots? That's what elite players are supposed to do.

 

[NENick]

Mathurin and Turner are not playing well. One or both need to provide something.

 

[NENick]

That foul on Siakam was BS

 

[rosshm16]

McConnell is a dog/demon.

 

[Cyientist]

If I'm OKC, I let McConnell keep dominating the ball. He is hitting shots now, but there isn't much flow to Indy's offense.

 

[HFCS]

Doris is wrong there, I bet about half of McConnell minutes are with Tyrese and half without. Let’s him play some SG.

 

[HFCS]

If I'm OKC, I let McConnell keep dominating the ball. He is hitting shots now, but there isn't much flow to Indy's offense.

Usually that works because he plays 10-15 min.

 

[HFCS]

So much for “extender” calls. Thunder fouling 5-6 times before the refs are finally forced to call intentional foul at rim.

 

[ianoconnor]

That is an atrocious foul call
