Good pts, both of you.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen the turnover disparity to be that wide and the team with the most turnovers actually wins.

I knew Indy turned it over a bunch in the knicks series. But the ratio against OKC was just insane and you’d think OKC’s speed and athleticism would translate to more pts in transition than NY. I’m rooting for the pacers but hope this series is a good one.

One thing I’ll point out is that OKC’s offense seems stagnant to me. Shai and Jay just take turns going one on one. Do they ever runs plays or try to get others involved? In a way, it reminds me of the old OKC, where their big 3 merely took turns going one on one while everyone else just rebounded and played defense.

I have to admit, that even though I'm cheering for the Pacers, I'm still a little emotionally attached to the Thunder. I just like so many of their players and the way they play defense.

**** the Thunder. Go Jazz East

OKC's offense isnt stagnant and it's not just one on one. Williams just sucked last game.

Is Haliburton still the most overrated player?

Game 1's are always so weird.

I dont think the Pacers will have turnover issues to that degree again in the series.

Will Chet/Williams be this bad again in the series. Chet was barely noticeable and only played 24 minutes. I really dont get the Thunder's decision to go ultra small.

Tyrese Haliburton has to be way better. He's a clutch god right now, so that covers for a lot of issues, but he's getting hunted on defense and isnt doing enough offensively.

I thought the whole idea of having a skilled/shooting big like Chet is that you don't have to go Ultra Small?

Yeah, Chet wasnt playing great or anything, but I never felt like he was holding the team back. The Ajay Mitchell appearance shocked me.

The Thunder squandered Game 1 vs. Denver as well. OKC should still win this series, but it might be prolonged to 6 games.

Jalen Williams should be better from here. Cody will make sure he gets on track.

It felt like OKC missed a ton of layups.

These are like the two smallest market teams in the NBA outside of Orlando and Denver, it's not too shocking. It happens, the NBA will be fine.

I dunno, … Indiana is the one team that can match OKC’s youth and energy.

Let’s hope IND can steal 1 more game.
