I agree to an extent, but right now he really doesnt have much of a choice. Their second best scorer should probably be Vic and hes playing like garbage and no one else is really capable of scoring in bunches to keep them in games.

I don't really blame Russ for it, he has to shoot a bunch to give them a chance at winning, but idk. OKC has three other guys on the team averaging double figures for the year and they're all shooting higher percentages from the field than him. I think I would be pretty annoyed if I had a teammate take 18 shots during the 4th quarter while shooting as poorly as he did last night. Unless OKC can make some moves this offseason I don't expect to see him there much longer.

Good on David Fisdale for going off. It's just a tiny pebble thrown into the ocean though. Glad to see his team cover the fine too.

I'm holding down the balcony tonight for game 3. Sometimes I wish we had built a new arena like Bankers Life instead of renovating. No bad seat in the entire place.

I love that place. From the top corners to floor level, it's just an amazing place to watch basketball.

Agreed, it's awesome. I've only been to a handful of games here but every time I come I'm amazed at how nice it is.

I feel that the Fieldhouse is the Camden Yards of basketball; combining nostalgia, modern amenities, and its own identity. Most of the other NBA arenas (mainly due to having to be designed for NBA/NHL) are quite antiseptic and have a cookie cutter feel.

This is fugly.

74 pts in a half. Somewhere, Paul Westhead is weeping with joy.

Yeah, I know we aren't supposed to complain about refs..but man there have been some egregious no calls this game. I'm glad I'm not invested in the NBA much.

Vogel would be up 2-1 this series. Just sayin

Is there even a reason to play game 4?

There was never any reason to play this series.

40 pts allowed in the 2nd half. Somewhere, Mike Fratello is weeping with joy.

Any chance Bird is cast aside?

If kyrie played in the second half I didn't notice it. 

I'm going to avoid being a Purdue Person and boasting though because that first half was beyond embarrassing.

Pretty amazing comeback, especially on the road.

Record breaking.
