    This is why Stern rigged it so Jordan would always get to the finals. Otherwise ratings wouldn't have been good.

    People just don't care. The playoffs have been pretty good. A lot of crazy games.

    OKC’s crowd sounds a little weak…I’m surprised

    Probably the worst-case scenario for Indiana right now. OKC has legitimized that their gameplan works and removed any doubt creep early.

    Yeah Indiana really need to do something soon or their comeback potential will get slimmer and slimmer.

    Got the split. On to Indy.

    P.S: inbreds (entire team, not just star) get the softest ****ing whistle. Like Jimmy Butler vs Rockets 1st rd 2025 whistle.

    Need to see what happens third and beginning of the fourth, Indiana just needs to get it down to around 10 points and hang around honestly.

    But regardless if they get a split Indiana stole a win at OKC's home-court to level things.

    Why is ESPN/ABC rooting so hard for OKC?

    J-Dub disappointing yet again on offense so far

    if OKC got a legitimate 2nd option, then they’d be actually unbeatable

    ESPN halftime show is 5 minutes of commercials, halftime crew screams at each other for 30 seconds, more commercials, 30 more seconds of screaming, and then finish things off with another 5 more minutes of commercials

    Why even have the dudes do a halftime show? Just play 15 minutes of straight commercials. They’re basically already doing that anyways

    Doris Burke is ear bleach as well

    Haliban has only 3 points. The man is good, but he does have some Houdini in him.

    Glad I watched the dude and his "acrobatic chihuahua" now. I couldn't cope with Richard Jefferson and her more than I already have to lol.

    Hard to read that 1st half other than OKC has an 18-point lead this time. Even if the Pacers somehow erupt for 66 points again in the 2nd half, they'll still probably lose.

    We'll also see if the Pacers are happy to go home with the win in game 1.

    I really like Turner, shame we're probably not even approaching him.

    He's going to get a lot of money, defensive big that can hit the three, yeah he would be a great fit here but I doubt the Pacers let him go after this run.
