NBA: *** 2024 NBA thread ***

[NATEizKING]

Siakam got the SGA call for once

 

[JP4CY]

I really think he needs to put at least some muscle on. He gets bullied out to half court way too much

Some guys are just built this way.
Years ago I thought the same for Durant.

 

[CY88CE11]

OKC sure loves shoving rebounders in the back.

 

[JP4CY]

Wow. 2pt game.

 

[madguy30]

He seems fine, everyone is banged up at this point. And let's not pretend it's the first time he's gone missing from a playoff game

He missed a bunch if time in the first half and has been hobbling on one leg this half.

It's probably been something lingering.

He has 5 assists. That's not disappearing.

What games did he 'dissapear' as Indiana got to the Finals?

 

[JP4CY]

Wow. 2pt game.

Spoke too soon.

Number 2 for Indiana is horrible. I’ve seen multiple lazy/dumb passes from him that have resulted, or nearly resulted in turnovers. Put McConnell back in and get him out.

He is their best defender.

Maybe hasn't disappeared, but there have been a few playoff games when he just hasn't been good enough.
However, the Pacers have gotten back in this, thanks mainly to McConnell and Siakam. Such a resilient team

All OKC does is push off with that extension arm. Frustrating to watch.

I'm sorry, but zero field goals is 100% disappearing

 

[FerShizzle]

Why are pacers defending the pick and roll at mid court?

 

[ISU_Guy]

112 turnovers to end the game and Tyrese not scoring a bucket is not the recipe in the finals

 

[NENick]

Williams has been outstanding

 

[CycloneT]

Gotta bench Haliburton

 

[cycloneman003]

5 straight games against this pressure defense and the Pacers are still consistently making lazy passes.

Can't agree if he's finding other ways to affect the game.

His teammates' turnovers have been the problem more than anything.

 

[tim_redd]

Hopefully the extender returns the favor in game 6.

 

[RezClone]

Nembhard has 4 really bad turnovers. Seems like more

 

[cycloneman003]

And Nembhards defense is useless if he’s going to melt down on the other end of the court in crunch time
