    I was thinking OKC had a 2nd half run in them and the Pacers might run low on juice, but I dunno.

    So far, both teams are content to trade missed 3-pointers. Lazy basketball.

    What's the record of most minutes in a quarter without scoring a point?

    There was a talking head on ESPN pregame show swearing that there wasn't even a 1% chance of a Pacers win

    OKC looking like they've opened up a can of quit, which is a very dangerous way to lose game 6 in a series.

    Dagneault's gotta press them hard until they turn it around and at least get some traction.

    Pacers also need to keep the positive vibe going and not let up.

    I keep seeing things I can't believe in this series.

    As to tonight, I can't believe the Pacers are destroying the league's best team.

    I can't believe the Thunder are so incapable of stopping TJ McConnell.

    I can't believe Rick Carlisle might pull off an even bigger upset this series than he did with the 2011 Mavericks against the prime Lebron Miami Heat.

    Just amazing to watch all of this happen.

    I'm not particularly pulling for either team. I'm just glad we'll get a 7th game in this series.

    OKC quit some time in the second quarter so I don't know how to predict game 7 when they're so different at home. But Indiana is gonna believe they can do it on the road if they finish the blowout.

    They don't call the initial foul, but they call the retaliation foul.

    Yeah, even my wife who is still learning basketball was like wait, why didn’t they call the first foul?

    So disgusting the refereeing.

    this would have already been over if they hadn't blatantly fixed the last game

    Pretty stoked for a game 7 Finals. They’re definitely rare. Hopefully Pacers can pull one last miracle.

    Can't even lie, despite all the narrative about small market teams I actually think this has been one of the best Finals in modern times. It's actually a competitive series, even with all the ref bullshit
