I wish Brad had subbed in Kyrie for Rozier on the final play.  Instead we get a Rozier prayer that had .00001% chance of going in.

One, your calculations are off.

Two, Kyrie has three fouls. If he got another here it would be a problem in the second half.

I saw the 3 fouls.  Kyrie is a smart player.  I don't think he'd do something reckless enough to risk getting his 4th, and at the same time could have created a good look for himself.

Why take the chance? He wasn’t smart enough, according to the above, to avoid getting three so far.

This has been Marcus Smart's weirdest game this season. He's shooting lights out but his passing and defense have been suspect. I'm not sure if I like this kind of game from Marcus Smart.

He's just made a couple bad passes and lapses on D as well.  He has made some great passes and had a great steal and turned away Sabonis on a post up.  Not his best besides his shooting but I wouldn't say bad at all.

With that last call, you couldn't prevent it.

That foul he got for making an upward motion on Collison was one of the worst calls I've ever seen.  Not going to fault him for that.  His 2nd foul was really stupid though.

16 to freaking 7 on fouls. Like, seriously, do they not recognize the huge disparity of fouls that they're giving out?

And just watch - now they'll artificially change their officiating in the second half to make up for the disparity. It's just insane. There's literally no objective, consistent standard.

Geez Louise jp, make sure your head doesn’t explode.

Let's just say I'm not the officials' biggest fan...

I'll never get over how much Rob Pelinka looks like Rob Lowe.

Well that semi-creepy half time show was pretty weird.

Well that semi-creepy half time show was pretty weird.

I wonder if that girl has a childhood...that was a ridiculous routine. Must've been practicing her whole life.

Well that semi-creepy half time show was pretty weird.

Weird and wonderful!

[CelticD]

Turnover...turnover...

[liam]

The calls are evening out...

Sweet, 1/5 FTs by Brown. That has to make Mom proud...

[jpotter33]

Good Lord, Jaylen. They're FREE throws! Literally just went 1-5...

[CelticD]

Pacers commentator says Brown isn't a good 3-point shooter. Must have him confused with Smart?

[liam]

Jaylen has missed more foul shots than the rest of the team has attempted....
