    That’s a wrap on the series most likely, if Indy won game 4 I’d have said they probably win, but not now, now it’s tied up with 2 of the 3 in OKC. It’s been a damn good Finals though, aside from a bad game 2.

    Indiana gonna win the next game cause everybody will take OKC Indiana had their chances tonight. They missed shots. But hey that’s why they play the game.

    id just tell the Pacers no pressure. No one expects them to be there. All the pressure is on OKC to win that next game.

    if the Pacers pull it out they can win a championship at home. Pacers in 6.

    I admit I'm completely content just reading about what happened a day or two after the game haha.

    On the bright side for us if OKC would’ve lost this series they probably make an all in type of move in the off season. They still look beatable currently constructed. Obviously series isn’t 100% over yet.

    Gabe + Maxi + Knecht + Rui for Allen + Okoro + Wade does work.

    Typically I wouldn't have watched much of this with Lakers not involved, but I have watched all but the first game. It has been really good basketball and I've been rooting for Indiana hard as they play a very fun to watch ball always moving guys cutting entertaining style of offense, like you always say you prefer. Plus their defense is right up there with OKC's.

    I'm with abeer though on the ridiculous officiating on SGA allowing him that blatant arm bar on offense. That play last night down left side of the key where his right arm knocked the defender off balance and almost down while he then drifted to his left for the fall away J that the announcers were gushing over ... was shown multiple times. One view in slow motion from him behind shows the official straight on unobstructed view from the base line 10 feet away just allowing it. Seriously WTF is going on with that!? :swear: :swear:

    yeah, i think one of them quietly admitted it was both an offensive foul and a travel, but they cut away really fast.
