  1. Thank you so much for this excellent video! Factual, precise and direct. That's how it has to work. Thank you for being so brave!👁

  2. Coach Dags cost us this game. He has to stop changing the lineup when things are working. When it was Josh, Chet, Cason, Gordon and Dort they wouldve came back and won. It's almost like they wanted to make a point and say, "We cant win without Jalen." Pisses me the fuck off

  3. Never quite managed to catch the same energy from the jump as the pacers. The thunder looked a little flat and vulnerable on defense.

  4. Idk why but this loss really irked me. More than most. It Felt like we got hacked & we really felt the loss of Jalen Williams at the same time.
    Those camera people are still way too close to the court.

  5. Man…. I’m getting a little nervous, come playoff time. We can’t make a shot to save a life, wayyyyy too many empty possessions and careless turnovers. This won’t slide during the playoffs, we gotta tighten up and capitalize on defensive turnovers. Let’s get this chip 💪🏽

  6. It was a great game to watch in a sense, as it was tight, but hard to watch because OKC couldn't hit a shot for three quarters. Pacers defence was impressive though. Next game. 🏀🏀❤❤⭐⭐💪💪

  7. Tough game… good defence by the pacers. They were really forcing the first seven to play long minutes in this.

    Despite what other people say, with so many coming off the bench playing long minutes, this is promising. Without J-Dub the team were still competitive and good practice for the play off's.

  8. Missed Dub's shot creation immensely. Then choosing not to start Caso after arguably his best career game was unwise in retrospect.

  9. i thought being down by 10 in the first quarter was playing perfectly to our game plan and felt confident we'd get the dub – oh well heads high boys – let's focus on the next game #giddeyup
