OKC lost game 3 and now they are perfectly fine. It took one hell of a 4th qtr from them but that is what you expect from the best team.

Yeah, it feels like Indy really blew their chance to win it all today. That loss stings a lot more than Game 2. But, that is just a feeling. The shooters they have, you never know when they could get crazy hot.They had to win 1 of the 2 in Indiana to take Home court back. This game 5 will be crucial. I'd say who wins that will win the series.
Mathurin choked, big time, and 3 days to think about that could go either way but he's way too important for Indiana as a bench scorer. He's the guy to watch for Indiana next game, IMO.
SGA and Jalen Williams a combined 21-21 from the free-throw line. Wow!
What happened to the game I love?

that was so brutal - doubt he slept last nightI'm a big fan of Benny but woof. That is an all-time, one player, melt down at the end of a massive game.
Woof.
If the Pacers don't rally and win, this game will stick with him forever.

The quality of play is certainly better than the regular season, but I am missing the star power.i don't see how people aren't appreciating these finals with both teams being resilient and physical - this is some quality basketball not chalk full of 3s it's inside and out tough and gun sprintage
he did in the 4th quarter last night tho - i had to switch his name back to sgaThe quality of play is certainly better than the regular season, but I am missing the star power.
Nobody is really taking over games. SGA has been a real disappointment, he does not look like an mvp to me.

However I can see the complaint that the league has done a poor job of marketing the next class of stars as the Curry, KD, Lebron class ages out. There's been Jokic and Luka that's reached star status and there's certainly games where they didn't perform, see where they exited this postseason for examples.
Still think OKC is playing Hartenstein too much he's good but chet matches up better.
Also if they're worried about SGA's minutes and it seems they are, rest him don't take him off the ball so much his strength is on the ball not off the ball.
In the last game, Holmgren and Hartenstein both started. It's hard to argue with a road win.
But with the game on the line who was in? Hartenstein was the only starter with a negative plus minus. I actually like the guy he's good but I think he and Chet together is creating a tough matchup.
Down 1 4 minutes left he goes out, Caruso comes in, they take the lead. He comes back in with 22 seconds left.
it's more me saying Caruso is a great matchup against the pacers than there's something wrong with Hartenstein
OKC started him for a reason. Maybe that change their mind. It's all about match-ups and adjustments from game to game.
