NBA: *** 2024 NBA thread ***

Nothing easy from either team right now. Lots of hard fouls.

Close to a good play but being vertical isn’t just your arms up.

And one would have been good there

Pacers have been robbed of at least a dozen and1s in this series. Tyrese had some ridiculous ones he earned first two games not given.

Feels like the basketball world was robbed with this game 7. Hopefully Hali can fully recover. Seems like it's a benefit that he's not a player that relies on explosive athleticism to be effective. Hopefully that will make it easier for him to return to form.

SGA is as good of a ball handler for a 6-6 guy I've seen.

Whenever they cut to Rick Carlisle, it looks like he just took a swig of sour milk.

 

[GTO]

Announcers have an issue with that travel but not the one from SGA at the end of game 5?

It is that kind of situation!

McConnell won’t pass it. Dribbles into traps.

He does but there isn't much movement from his teammates. Where are the cutters?

Pacers are going to struggle next year if Tyrese is out all year. He is so critical

It’s hard to cut when the PG dribbles into the lane that deep. He’s pulls the D into him so if you cut, you are going into a herd. He needs to kick it out before getting buried.

No comment from announcers when Chet caught the ball outside the 3 point line, took zero dribbles and dunked. Not a travel in NBA I know, but it was more egregious than the other one IMO

Bricktown will be hopping tonight. OKC is an underrated city.

Doubtful he’s out the whole year. Seen several Achilles injuries come back in 6 months. I was one.

Yea McConnell was in over his head. Not his fault, but it is unfortunate

 

[HFCS]

Credit OKC for having #1 overall seed for homecourt, it's an insane 82 game season and it SHOULD mean something, but I'm not sure they get this win tonight on the road (even with Tyrese injury). Just for the people who aren't NBA fans because of the overly long regular season grind.

I think he was successful since he is opposite of Tyrese. Catches teams off guard.

Honestly, I'd take a flier on Chris Paul. Started 82 games last year.
