OKC really playing a sloppy game from what I watched. Lots of turnovers. Poor attention to basics like blocking out, poor defensive rotation. It's like watching a Suns game this year.

I still don't understand why they didn't get dort more 3s - it was preventing indiana from doubling sfa effectively and they just stopped - home was 4 for 5 but only shot 2 the entire second half

Mathurin was the X-factor tonight with 27 points.
Pacers coach has been the main reason of their winning by developing and empowering those players, and alwasy making the right rotation choices.

Seems like the double big lineup is not working for OKC. Chet has been really good but when he's in with Hartenstein it doesn't seem to work against indiana. They only played Hartenstein 18 minutes I think it has to be even less with both of them together.
I don't get the negative stuff I think the 3 games have all been terrific, so far I'm enjoying this series immensely

I dont think many watched Okc all year, i sure didn't. I've probably seen the pacers more than okc this year. Now that i've had a chance to watch okc, they're actually kind of boring...sga foul here, and then 3 after 3 after 3. The last round and finals have changed they way though play though, so i guess there's some truth to letting them play.
