NBA: *** 2024 NBA thread ***

The best player on the planet gets away with a lot. That's been the way it's been for 80 years.

If Jordan missed a shot he was fouled. It didn't even matter if anyone was on him. That's the way it in sports. Bonds always got the corner calls on pitchers.

Pacers are cooked.
Had to have the last game IMO.
Team is just turning the ball over like a freshman basketball team.

 

[cytor]

SGA and CC learned each other's game..... Chuck 30+ shots, push off and never get called for a foul.

 

[CY88CE11]

So many turnovers.

 

[Die4Cy]

Haha she said Oklahoma ******!

 

[NATEizKING]

Hali needs to work on stiff arm all offseason.

 

[NENick]

Not going to win this one. Environment is crazy. Can't shoot. Way too many TOs.

Win game 6 at home.
All bets off on a Gane 7.

Tyrese done for the night?

Considering how bad they played, being down 14 might not be the end of the world.

Honestly, down 14 is a win with how awful they played. Missing layups, missing FTs, threes not falling, 11 turnovers, 8 made threes for OKC… they should be down 30

Pacers need to start shooting much better but being down 14 in the first half and winning isn’t abnormal for this team. They obviously have to start playing better though.

12 fouls to 10 is a farce. This is a non winnable game for any team if they can play that physical with 12 fouls and Indy hit with nearly as many.

 

[GTO]

Perkins and Stephen A are such pieces of ****.

Perkins and Stephen A are such pieces of ****.

I often forget that they exist.

It has rendered the pacers identity of passing and movement useless.

There’s a reason that ESPN replaced them for next season.

 

[Cyched]

Perkins and Stephen A are such pieces of ****.

The difference between the ESPN and TNT halftime shows is good insight into how they view their product.

ESPN has gone all in on sensationalism so it must be as inflammatory as possible.

While the fellas on the TNT show give thoughtful analysis. But they still somehow manage to be entertaining. Huh.

 

[Pitt_Clone]

I've been trying to stay positive since Friday, but it was just so disheartening letting that one get away. They had it.

 

[thakeepa14]

Indiana played a terrible first half, but OKC is such an unwatchable product. Referee’s tip jars are quite full in this series. SGA and Holmgren flopping while the rest of the pit bulls on the team hack is an absolute disgrace.

 

[rosshm16]

OKC reminds me of Bob Huggins WVU teams where I'm not sure how anyone except homer fans enjoys watching that team play.
