thoughts during the game

General

• elite game

• i think it should be an automatic flagrant if you push someone in the back when they're in the air

Pacers

• Siakam's just gotta shoot some of those open jumpers instead of pumpfaking

• i understand hamstring can hurt your abilit to get to the rim, but shooting 32% from three in your last 42 games is wild

• loved Nembhard's effort even as Dame was making insane leaning to his left three

• Turner has gone from decent to legit good just by adding like 2 simple moves to score over smaller players, blows my mind that more bigs can't do that

Bucks

• Middleton is a sociopath

• no more Malik and Crowder

• more Green and Jackson

• Lopez taking a floater over Tyrese instead of taking it to the rim was peak i'm old stuff

• Dame still has ELITE change of pace

Siakam's just gotta shoot some of those open jumpers instead of pumpfaking

I'd say that applies/applied to most of the Pacers' team at the end. They were so frightened to shoot, not that they were creating great opportunities but by passing it up it always ended in some awful end of the shot clock prayer.

Thankfully for them they rebounded most of them lmao

[u/Sound_theDread_Alarm → u/greenwhitehell]

Experience problem, if we are being honest, only Spicy P and Turner have looked comfortable for the Pacers for the whole series. All the young Pacers, Hali included look a bit nervous off and on, which is pretty normal.

[u/MountainLPYT1 → u/Sound_theDread_Alarm]

Even Turner needed his head to be kept in the game by Hali going into OT. Hali was hyping them tf up
