Still wild to see the Haliburton era Pacers transform into a team that can win a Finals game because of their smothering defense.

I watched like 75% of Jim O'Brien era Pacers games. This one was for me and me alone. Sorry haters.

Let's goooooooooooo

The ultimate tip-of-the-cap to any opponent athlete is when they make you say "oh f*** you!" aloud when they make a play. Lu Dort has made me say that four times tonight.

Fun quarter. Think Pacers are learning you gotta just go for it every trip and live with the resulting whistle (or lack thereof) in this series. Pressure pressure pressure pace pace pace. And paint touches, mostly.

Everything's a foul Nothing's a foul Everything's a foul Nothing's a foul Everything's a foul Nothing's a NBA Finals officiating, baby!

Series really seems to have settled into things being extremely difficult for Indiana and relatively much easier for OKC. I'm just impressed with the Thunder.

Some early pants-peeing stuff here from Pacers. A lot of that OKC pressure of course. Still expect one of Nembhard, Turner to settle down a bit.

Myles Turner Literally Do One Productive Thing challenge.

Cribbed from Reddit: what is the single greatest TV programming block (non-sports division) you can remember? For me, either that late 90s/early 00s post-NFL games FOX run with Simpsons/King of the Hill/X-Files, or the AMC/HBO flip-fest with Breaking Bad, Thrones, Mad Men.

Same but no way they come back from this one.

I feel like I can't live tweet about the Pacers when they're playing poorly this posteason because someone inevitably finds it after they go on a 31-3 run in the final ten seconds of the fourth quarter and says "lol idiot"

Upon further consideration: yup, last night still one of the coolest moments I have experienced in my 37 years of sports fandom. If Pacers really pull this series off, it will genuinely be underlined in NBA history.

I still can't believe that. I'm not getting to bed any time soon tonight. It's always a Nesmith or a Toppin or unsuspecting character to catch fire. And then it's always Haliburton. I mean, what is Hali's clutch shot % now? It's absolutely absurd, right?
