Cason making some big shots tonight

 

[SemperFiCat]

I love Toppin, but he's playing horrific tonight.

 

[crawfords corner]

Toppin is a turnover machine this series

[crawfords corner]

Thunder defense has been huge this quarter

 

[SemperFiCat]

Siakam straight disappeared.

 

[FitchandMurray29]

Thunder defense has been huge this quarter

No idea why but they’ve had incredibly special 3rd quarters led by their defense throughout the playoffs. No clue why it happens then pretty consistently

 

[FitchandMurray29]

Siakam straight disappeared.

Great call. Has he even been out there? With the TOs and TJ time he’s been an afterthought

 

[SemperFiCat]

You serious, Clark? TJ has cut them up.

 

[UKWildcats1987]

You serious, Clark? TJ has cut them up.

Okc offense came alive that quarter with 34 points.

I'm still much more impressed with pacers than okc this series when I've watched.

Weird. Like he never even came out of the locker room at the half.

 

[KY_Kid]

You serious, Clark? TJ has cut them up.

Well, they won the quarter 34-20 and forced like 10 turnovers leading to 15+ points.

I'd say that was pretty impressive defense.

 

[crawfords corner]

Successful challenge. Off Nesmith,


16 turnover smh

 

[DraftCat]

This is the Pacers quarter.... it's now or never.

 

[crawfords corner]

Between the turnovers and the guards doing too much dribbling its no wonder Siakam has become a non-factor

 

[SemperFiCat]

I'd say that was pretty impressive defense.

They let McConnell look like a Globetrotter. Not saying they didn't step it up defensively, but they grew the lead on the Offensive side. Their Offensive came alive.

 

[DraftCat]

21 point lead.... I'm going to call it.

 

[crawfords corner]

That might be it

 

[UKWildcats1987]

Wallace with a solid game off the bench.

Kudos to two former UK players for winning a title. That isn't bad for UK at all.

 

[Lempface]

Good season Pacers... I'm gutted we didn't get the game we deserved. Injuries in sports suck so hard.

 

[FitchandMurray29]

Shai missed shots tonight but in complete control. Scoring champ, MVP, Western Conference Finals MVP, Finals MVP. Awesome

 

[UKBB4Ever]

They let McConnell look like a Globetrotter. Not saying they didn't step it up defensively, but they grew the lead on the Offensive side. Their Offensive came alive.

The Pacers only have 68 points almost 4 minutes into 4th quarter.

Someone is playing defense.

 

[UKWildcats1987]

We as UK fans know that all too well. I'll spare us the list of all the key injuries and it happens to a lot of teams and programs but still.

They start caruso after half. Hes an amazing piece.

 

[Montana81]

This is the only reason i cared. Wanted to see shai complete the trifecta. it’s a great thing for UK basketball.

 

[KY_Kid]

SGA with an all time season.

NBA MVP
NBA Leading Scorer
NBA Champion
NBA Finals MVP (Incoming)

Not bad...especially for Quade Green's backup.

He seems like an A+ teammate and human as well.

 

[crawfords corner]

17 turnovers.

 

[DraftCat]

Greatest NBA season in Kentucky Wildcat Former Player History

 

[KY_Kid]

Is Tubby coaching the Pacers? They just ended a 6 minute and 15 second scoring drought.

 

[crawfords corner]

OKC playing very sloppy. Why not call a TO

 

[DraftCat]

OKC playing very sloppy. Why not call a TO

15 points is nothing in a 5 min game... gotta settle down

Maybe take a page from Cal and take the air out of the ball LOL

 

[crawfords corner]

We're reviewing that? Wtf

 

[FitchandMurray29]

Shai has to drive it. His missed jumpers are keeping this a game.

 

[DraftCat]

OKC going cold at the wrong time.... gotta get to the line.

 

[sefus12]

OKC has let the Pacers back into the game. SGA having a horrible night shooting and he keeps chucking 3s that he simply isn’t close to hitting. Pacers aren’t out of this yet…

 

[sefus12]

Not sure how that is a foul on SGA there…..

Also, these officials aren’t helping themselves this game.

 

[UKWildcats1987]

They are up 14 with 4 to play. I think they got this.

 

[crawfords corner]

5 on SGA

 

[sefus12]

Indiana out-coaching OKC by a lot. No doubt who the better coach is.

 

[crawfords corner]

Now no TO left.

I know OKC won 68 games, but its certainly not from bball IQ
