This Pacers team, win or lose, are playing inspired basketball....Rick Carlisle may well be the best coach in the NBA!

Mark Boyle just said, "back to back three's from employee number 1"

Only thing keeping OKC in it are free throws.

It’s kinda crazy how many of our young guys are castoffs from bigger market teams

And non calls on the fouls they are committing

Obi Toppin! Not only a great name, but a great player! He was also a Dayton Flyer!

[RaceToTheTop 31,364]

Hope missed free throws don’t haunt the pacers.

I hate seeing Siakam and Toppin handling the ball.  

[RaceToTheTop 31,364]

**** Scott Foster

The NBA has more in common with wrestling than anybody will admit 

[RaceToTheTop 31,364]

Pacers have shot themselves in the foot in the fourth quarter but the refs gave the pacers no chance either.

[TheWatShot 15,556]

Pacers were up 10 with the ball twice, only to have Toppin miss two free throws and Siakim miss a long 2 while everyone stood around. Had a feeling that would come back to haunt.

I'm drained. I don't even want to watch another game.

I’m trying not to be a doomer but that was a brutal brutal loss

Only hope now is the NBA script is that the Pacers win another one in OKC. Comes down to what the league has decided best fits this seasons narrative. It’s all crooked

lol… it’s not a league narrative to have an Indiana/OKC Finals. If the league could script things, these are the teams that would never sniff a title: Indiana, OKC, Sacramento, Portland, New Orleans, Utah, Milwaukee.

Two of them are in the Finals this year. That’s a business model nightmare.

And btw… those are quite literally the best basketball referees on the planet.

The NBA desperately needs a new face of the league after LeBron/Curry retire. It won’t be SGA because an unethical hooper will never have mass appeal, but it’s easy to see why the NBA would favor OKC winning to try to push him into that spot.  

We all just saw the NBA blatantly rig the draft, so influencing the Finals through officiating isn’t a stretch at all.

So, you're saying that Scott Foster, who was close with and mentioned in the Tim Donaghy investigation, is one of the best referees on the planet?

The pushoff/creating separation and the blatant travel, are not "missed" at my grandsons biddy ball league. The league is a joke, and it has been for years.

They don’t call Foster The Extender for no reason…

[TheWatShot 15,556]

Foster has reffed Game 4 in five straight finals. He's there for a reason.
