Indiana better show up tonight.

Reggie Miller is sitting courtside wearing a Mark Jackson Pacers jersey.

Chet Holmgren is an amazing defender. He intimidates so many shots. Guys are afraid to even challenge him when is around the basket. The pass out instead.

Myles Turner is so soft. He can?t play through contact at all.

Myles Turner is so soft. He can?t play through contact at all.

His body movement is awkward. Get him any bit off balance and he'll miss. He needs to move in straight lines (running, jumping, shooting motion).

Indy showing some life!

Siakam's team defense has improved since he has been in Indiana. He used to fall asleep ball watching often in off ball defensive situations in Toronto. The effort was there 1-on-1 but lacked discipline in team defense. Similar to Jaylen Brown at times. Siakam has become much more consistent and impactful as a team defender in Indiana than he was in Toronto.

He also has a much better coach.  Ricky C is incredibly underrated all time.  Great great coach.

Crucial stretch here. OKC 8-0 run to start the second half. I know IND has made a living this postseason making comebacks but against this opponent, expecting it all the time is very risky. And realistically if they want to win it all, they need these home games. I think it'll be super tough for them to get another game on the road

Myles Turner is so frustrating to me.  2-10 from the field and 1 rebound midway through the third.  That's tough to take, especially when he's the only real big man in their every-game rotation since Bryant floats in and out. 

He's a big part of what they do.  He has to play better.

Turner looks awful.

These unforced turnovers are killing Indy.

Just love watching skinny James Harden out there foul baiting every play, all while getting away with the most liberal usage of the off arm in the league.

[Atzar]

They have to do something about that off arm push-off.  That's not even strictly an SGA thing.  That's league-wide, including our own guys.
