Thunder vs Pacers
Game Six - 19 June
Game Five - 16 June
Forgot the thread fellas
What a performance. I hope Hali recovers from this calf thing. Bummer way to end it.
Game One - 05 June
My heart says Thunder in 7, my brain says Thunder in 5…
My desire says Thunder in 4.
My dementia says Thunder in 2
This is so fucking exciting.
OMG!!! OMG!!! OMFG!!!1
Pacers shook off the jitters. We have a game!
Did your instance die?! New account?
Yeah lemm.ee is sadly shutting down at the end of the month.
Didn’t notice you were .ee — they had some good forums too. Bummer.
Yeah, one of the best ran instances IMO. The admins just couldn’t keep up with all the trolls and unruly users. This is why we can’t have nice things.
Oh it’s not even a money thing? Why don’t they just make authentication harder?..
Yeah, there was always surplus with the maintenance budget and everything was running smoothly. They just couldn’t get enough volunteers for the admin team and most of them got burnt out. There was registration verification already, I guess they just didn’t have enough personnel. Here’s the announcement: https://lemm.ee/post/65824884
Obi jumps so high but can’t grab a freakin rebound.
Holy SHIT!!! PACERS!!!
OKC is playing great, the refs are helping. for some reason!
If you don’t score for several minutes at a time, you lose ball games. Pretty crazy.
Insane ending. We got a series boys.
End of Q3 as of this commrnt. This game feels like a blowout but the score is surprisingly close.
That last Hali shot looked so short I thought it was gonna be an airball. I need some blood pressure medicine for this series goddamn.
OMFG!!!
Game Three - 11 June
The bench unit going hard exhausted the Thunder so now the Pacers starters are taking advantage of the tired OKC starters. This is what the Pacers needed, that bench production.
I am sad thunder noises.
Bout time someone gave OKC a taste of their own medicine (suffocating defense).
Halftime. Carlisle should keep the bench unit in when they’re cooking. Turner hasn’t really been great outside of the occasional 3 once a quarter. I also like how aggressive the Pacers are compared to the past 2 games. If refs won’t give them the same easy fouls as the Thunder, then they should just go hard and attack the paint.
Carlisle waited too long to bring in TJ back in 2nd half. He came in only at the end of 3rd.
Alright, Thunder, we gotta stay the course here and get this win.
Game Two - 08 June
Today we find out if this is a series or not. Good luck fellas.
End of 3Q. To be fair to the Pacers, even when they’re not playing well, they’re only (being generous here) down 19. Other teams would be down by 30+ by now when the Thunder do their avalanche runs.
Tyrese also had like 3 points and 2 TO, must be a TO high for him at half. He will adjust in Indy.
Yeah he definitely needs to be more aggressive. He started taking more shots in the 4th, but it was too late to make a run by then. Needs to be more active earlier in the game.
Thunder learned their game one lesson and did not relent after that first run, kept the lid on.
I like Caruso but holy shit how are the refs just letting him get away with hacking and pushing players.
Game Four - 13 June
Really stressful, but I’m glad for the W.
I’m at a concert right now and there’s no tv at the bar lol. So I’m just checking the play-by-play. Looks like The Extender is doing his job based on what I’ve read.
Honestly it was pretty evenly reffed, and the Pacers missed a shit ton of free throws. It felt like the Thunder lost even with the win. Pacers are going to adjust big.
