Game Recap

Commentator 1 kicks off the discussion with a heated response to the game's outcome:

"If you can tell by the vibes, the patience definitely took a loss. What the hell is Daddy doing, man?” [02:28]

The commentators express frustration over the Pacers' performance, highlighting significant turnovers and rebounding issues that led to their downfall despite having moments of strong play.

Commentator 1 summarizes:

"OKC took care of the Pacers tonight. The final score was 109 to 120. As many turnovers as the Pacers had in the first half, getting out rebounded the way they got rebounded. They got punked tonight. They did not show up to play basketball at all.” [04:21]

---

Player Performances

The panel scrutinizes individual performances, focusing on key players from both teams.

• Tyrese (Pacers):
  Commentator 1 points out Tyrese's underwhelming performance:

  "He did not show up to play... He was a ghost this game.” [05:57]

  Commentator 4 reinforces this sentiment:

  "What the hell he shoot? He did not make a field goal.” [02:44]

• Pascal Siakam (Thunder):
  Commentator 1 praises Siakam's effort:

  "Shout out to Pascal Siakam. He was hooping. He did everything he could. He had a 30-point game.” [04:12]

  Commentator 4 adds:

  "He's the biggest. He's an all-star.” [14:15]

• Jalen Williams (Thunder):
  There is considerable debate about Williams' impact. While some commentators believe he could be the MVP with standout performances:

  "Jalen Williams could be MVP of this series.” [07:52]

  Others remain skeptical, questioning his consistency:

  "He had a few bad games, but he's making all this bread.” [10:56]

---

Team Analysis

Commentator 1 delves into the Pacers' team dynamics:

"None of our wings showed up to help. Andrew Nimhart, seven points. Not enough.” [05:51]

The discussion highlights the lack of support for Tyrese, with only a few players contributing significantly. Turnovers and poor rebounding are cited as critical factors that undermined the Pacers' defensive and offensive capabilities.

Commentator 3 emphasizes defensive lapses:

"We got punked tonight. Flat and simple. Rebounding was disgusting.” [06:47]

Coaching and Strategy

The commentators critique coaching decisions, especially regarding player rotations and minutes management.

Commentator 1 expresses disappointment in bench utilization:

"I was a little disappointed in TJ not getting more minutes. He was literally giving us everything.” [10:10]

There is also a debate about the effectiveness of guarding strategies against key Thunder players, particularly Jalen Williams, whose performance has been pivotal for the Thunder's success.

---

Prospects for Game 6

Looking ahead to Game 6, the panel offers mixed predictions:

Commentator 2 remains cautiously optimistic:

"They gonna win the next game.” [09:14]

However, Commentator 4 voices doubt:

"I don't know if they're gonna win the next game.” [09:10]

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 1]

Hey, bro, we having fun, but Pacers, man, they got blown out the gym today, man. I know the score looks like it was close, but it was not a close game at all, man. As many turnovers as the Pacers had in that first half, getting out rebounded the way they got rebounded. They got punked tonight. They did not show up to play basketball at all. Shout out to Pascal Siakam. He was hooping. He did everything he could. You know what I'm saying? He had a 30 ball. TJ Nash showed up for us. He had a great comeback by himself. Went on a 6, 0 run. Got some turnovers. Played very, very well. I agree. Obie Toppin played well too in the second half. But, man, as a whole, we got Punk tonight.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 3]

He slacked tonight, but I feel like his teammate should have picked up the slack.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 2]

They did.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 1]

Nah, bro.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 4]

His backup came in and hoop.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 1]

Tj.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 2]

His backup came in and hoop, bro.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 3]

Tj. But it was just TJ and seam, bro. Didn't nobody else give Tyrese, bro.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 2]

Tyrese supposed to give us something. He ain't been playing great this whole series.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 4]

He had a. Had a great series.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 2]

Come out and do this, bro.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 1]

I agree, but if you look at our other wings, our wings have not given us a damn thing. Andrew Nimhart, seven points. Not enough.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 4]

What the hell?

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 2]

Hey, listen, at the end of the day. At the end of the day, all that is fine. We pay Tyrese the big bucks.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 1]

Oh, okay. Next player you got show up.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 4]

You got.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 1]

Said he a superstar. They went crazy on me.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 2]

Show up right now.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 4]

What they say when I said he won a superstar?

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 2]

Four points, bro? You didn't make a field goal.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 3]

My.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 4]

What they say when I said he won a superstar?

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 3]

Four points from the freak.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 4]

Mike, you got a mic?

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 1]

Yeah.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 4]

What they say when I said he won a superstar?

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 2]

How you don't hit a shot.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 3]

They argue with you.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 4]

What they say?

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 1]

And all of a sudden they called you out your name, boy.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 4]

T. Tyrese's teeth. I would never, when I played 30 minutes, had no four point. What the hell?

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 1]

To be fair, a lot of people expected OKC to win this game tonight, but the way that the Patriots showed up tonight, I'm just. We got punk tonight. Flat and simple. Rebounding was disgusting.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 2]

40 to Jalen Williams, bro. I could have seen Shay with 40.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 3]

Nah, Jayla Williams can give you 30 to 40 on any given night.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 2]

He is.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 4]

He's a 20 to 20 to 20.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 2]

I expect 40 from Shade, bro.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 3]

But I'm saying, Jayla Williams, it ain't scarce that he got it.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 2]

No, no, no. I'm not saying that. But I'm just like, it ain't Carson Wallace happening tonight, bro. Shay get 40? I'm not saying.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 3]

So when Ben Mathering get 40 in 10 minutes, y' all cool. He didn't get 40. I'm just. I'm just saying, though, he didn't get killed in 10 minutes. Y' all say it's okay. It is, because this is our all star scoring. 40. Y' all say his don't travel.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 4]

I Ain't say that I disrespected you, Jalen Williams. I said your game had to travel for y' all to be successful. And it traveled.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 1]

Yeah, right.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 4]

And then it went back home and you. But I'm just saying you low key the MVP of this series.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 2]

DJ, we can accept 40 from Shade, bro.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 1]

We could take 40%.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 4]

Jaylen Williams.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 2]

Williams get 40, bro. We in.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 3]

Shane had a light night tonight.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 4]

Quiet is kept. Jalen Williams could be MVP of the.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 3]

He might pull a seak.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 1]

They won't give it to him the way he's played the last three games.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 4]

If you keep it quiet. Like on the lowest of lows. Like, even though sga, he. He took. He took the big shots last game. Jalen Williams still had a solid 20.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 3]

Yeah, SGA is averaging 32.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 2]

That's killing getting it.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 3]

You have to give it to him.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 4]

What is. Yeah. Jalen Williams average in this series. It got to be a solid 25. I'm saying on the lowest of lows 40 tonight.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 3]

But a averaging 32 is crazy.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 2]

Yeah, it is SD Wade type number.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 4]

He only.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 1]

That's entire playoffs. But if you go to his last.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 3]

Please stat team don't even matter.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 4]

It don't matter for me. You know who didn't have a good game?

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 1]

Chad had nine tonight.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 3]

Chad nine tonight.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 1]

Okay.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 3]

And we won with Chad having nine. Y' all up some night.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 1]

I mean, look, we talked about the role players at the crib.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 2]

You know what's gonna happen.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 1]

Aaron Wiggins hooped out 4 for 7 for three big shots. I mean, listen. Okay, see, showed up and they played exactly how they were supposed to play.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 2]

We know what's gonna happen.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 3]

I need the patience to win this though.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 2]

The pace is gonna win the next game.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 4]

I ain't gonna lie. And the way I'm feeling, I don't know if they gonna win the next game.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 2]

They gonna win the next game.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 1]

The way we got punked tonight, boy, we better be a totally different team at home.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 2]

Tonight was a gonna be Halliburton. Not gonna play this bad, bro.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 1]

I pray not.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 4]

Four fucking points. This is what I said.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 2]

You can't get no worse than that.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 1]

I agree with.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 4]

This is what I said when the series first started. This is what I said throughout the playoffs. I said, dj, you can remember I said, Tyrese have these games where he's non existent. And he had one early. We was like. You was like. He got it out the way. Well, no, the hell he didn't.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 2]

He had three of them. He played good. For real, bro. He hit that shot that one game. He did not play good that game.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 1]

That is true.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 4]

He didn't play good, but he wasn't non existent this game. He was literally not. I'm saying he was a ghost. When I said he wasn't a superstar, people wanted to kill me.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 3]

True.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 4]

And I didn't seen other great players get hurt or have a little nick and during the game and come back and return and have moments.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 2]

But if you gonna be hurt, just sit out then, bro.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 3]

Cause yeah, you have to. This is too important for you to be fucking around.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 1]

Yeah, I was a little disappointed in TJ not getting more minutes. I don't know what that was about, but he was literally giving us everything. He was the only reason why we.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 4]

Got back in the.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 2]

But you know why. You gotta go with your max player, bro.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 1]

And I understand, but win again.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 4]

He's a max player, but he just ain't a superstar. Like superstars never have this. You would never. LeBron had bags. No, LeBron had four. He didn't score a field goal.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 2]

Ron had 13.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 3]

I'm gonna give Tyrese and Bill. James Harden do it all the time.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 4]

He don't. He has a field go.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 2]

He never had.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 4]

He will SC point.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 2]

He never had four.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 4]

He will hit a basket.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 2]

They getting double digits.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 4]

I ain't look a bad game for a superstar tonight.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 2]

I. I'm not saying we would have won, but I mean, a lot of.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 3]

It would have looked different.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 4]

I don't think James Harden. If James Harden went without a field goal in a playoff game.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 3]

James. James Harden ghost on y' all though.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 4]

But has he w. Without a field goal?

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 3]

I don't know.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 4]

That is James hard include three score zero points.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 1]

June 5th, 2021.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 3]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 4]

Okay.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 1]

Last was 2010.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 3]

There it is.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 4]

2021.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 3]

Ultimate superstar.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 4]

But 2021, he was cooked. 2021, he was cooked.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 2]

He still had double digits. Bro, you gave.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 4]

I'm not mad at bro, But I'm.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 2]

Saying 2021, $300 million you gave us.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 4]

Oh, 2021. James Harden was 33.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 3]

I understand.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 4]

And the other time was the other one was his rookie year.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 2]

Four points.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 4]

I think that's the game. I think that's the game. He rolled he towards him.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 2]

Almost ain't scored.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 3]

Score. Y' all don't need him.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 1]

Yeah, it is.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 4]

That's the game towards hamstring.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 2]

We need 12.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 1]

All right, we roll it right here. Hamstring struggles in five point return before the next wing. Game five.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 4]

Oh, yeah. That's when he tore his hamstring yeah, he was injured. Yeah, he was injured. I remember he was walking out there.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 1]

They're looking at Tyrese for his calf injury. But regardless, I mean, like you said, no excuses. If you're on the court, figure it out. If not, get off the court.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 3]

Jalen Williams showed his ass tonight.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 1]

Jalen Williams was a problem. My biggest problem I've had with our wings is that, you know, Aaron Ne. Smith is known for his defense. He's played phenomenal. But this finals, he has definitely struggled. You look at Benedict Matheran. Jesus Christ, man.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 4]

You said Jalen been cooking Aaron N. You said it.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 1]

Yeah, he's been cooking him the entire series. And if you're not, that's a bad matchup. It's just. I mean. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? Just a bad look for him. But none of our wings showed up to help.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 3]

But are you gonna put siakam on him? Who you gonna guard?

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 1]

I'm not saying that. You gonna stop him, because at this point, he's figured out his recipe to how to kill us, and we don't have no answer for it.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 4]

It's pretty much over with.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 1]

Yeah. So at this point, you're gonna have to outscore him.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 4]

Cool.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 1]

If you're not gonna stop him, you're gonna have to contribute. Getting 14 from Niece Smith. Okay. That's solid. Benedict Mather looked terrible tonight. Outside of us giving us that wonderful game, those two games, Knicks. He was terrible tonight. Andrew Nemhardt, I know he played defense on sga, but he didn't give us nothing offensively. So as a collective, our backcourt and wings did nothing tonight.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 2]

Yeah.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 1]

And that was a big difference in the game. Even though it wasn't as crazy as the score was. We had a chance to be in the game, but you start off with.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 2]

Those turnovers, man, and them playing so bad, it make Halliburton look even worse.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 1]

Yeah.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 2]

Make him look even worse, bro.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 1]

Yeah.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 4]

I'm just saying, bro. I got so much hate. Y' all was in here celebrating. He a superstar. He did.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 2]

Still did his thing. I'm not gonna act like he's not.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 1]

Hating, but this is ridiculous.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 4]

And everybody always say, see? Every time you about to hate, you say you're not hating. I'm not. He's a good player. He's an All Star. But I don't know. Y' all literally in here debating about getting four points.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 2]

I'm done debating, bro.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 1]

Bad game. Terrible game.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 4]

So is he a superstar or not? I'm with it.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 3]

I'm okay with a bad Game. I'm rolling with you.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 2]

It's not a bad game. You cannot get full right now.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 3]

I'm rolling with you regardless.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 2]

No, you just got.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 3]

You didn't drug this team all the way here. You got to put some respect on it.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 4]

No, I. I'm saying y' all can't.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 3]

Fault a for a bit.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 4]

I'm not saying you.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 3]

Every superstar in the NBA. When LeBron against Dallas, he had bad games. Against Dallas, his stats, he pissed poor.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 2]

Against Dallas, he did not make a field.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 3]

LeBron James is still a superstar, of course.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 2]

Yeah, but he did not make a field.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 3]

I'm not doing Tyrese like that, bro.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 2]

No, he is killing.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 3]

Tyrese is the reason why the patience are here right now.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 4]

And he's also one of the reasons.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 2]

Pascal is a big reason, too.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 1]

That's a fact.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 4]

He's all star.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 3]

He's the biggest.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 4]

He's all star.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 3]

Tyrese hit all the moments.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 2]

That's fine. It's a reason Pascal got MVP of that. How you gonna say you the biggest?

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 3]

And I got MVP because it was rigged.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 2]

I don't give a. I got you.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 3]

See what the cameras zone me.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 2]

I got mvp.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 3]

I almost wouldn't know you at first.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 2]

I walked up here and talked shifted to you.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 4]

Yeah.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 2]

They made a joke out of you. I walked up here and got this trophy.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 1]

Now, I think the biggest part that's a takeaway from this game is that as shitty as we play, turnovers and rebounds wise, you still had a chance to win this game. Tyrese played like you still put yourself in a position in the fourth quarter to win this game. Okay, see, obviously, we're gonna get a game away.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 3]

They did.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 2]

But Tyrese gotta pull up.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 1]

That's when you gotta show up.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 3]

That's $200 million. I understand.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 2]

That's my only thing. He's making all this bread. We talking about Nate Smith and Nemhardt. They don't make $300 million, bro. You do.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 3]

See, that's what I hate.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 2]

But we're giving you this money, bro, to do this.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 3]

But I'm still human. I'm okay to have a bad game.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 2]

You had a few bad games, bro.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 3]

You can just play better than me.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 4]

Tonight when you sign that contract, you got a responsibility to be this person.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 2]

To the organization, bro.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 4]

Yeah, you got a responsibility to be this person. You gotta show up and be there. So you gotta take this criticism.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 2]

You're gonna collect this check.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 4]

And that's why certain people are superstars and some people are all stars.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 3]

Take the criticism.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 4]

I made an all Star team. One year. I couldn't take that criticism. Every year I'm. I'm cool. I liked it for one year. I like y' all giving it from. I like partying. I like partying. The rest of the years, I like going there, do my thing.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 2]

That's like Jeff playing with Jimmy Butler. He like, you getting that check. You take the shot.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 4]

Yeah.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 1]

Why you giving to me?

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 4]

I make 19. You make 43.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 1]

Why you giving me the ball?

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 2]

Your job. You getting all the money.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 4]

Nah, that's a fact.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 2]

Be a killer, man.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 4]

This you are.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 3]

No, my pockets went to go shoot the float.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 4]

My pockets don't say I'm the killer.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 3]

No, no, no.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 4]

Well, if I'm the killer, give me.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 2]

The 52 and then I shoot the shot.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 4]

Yeah, because that's a job.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 2]

Just like you go to work. This is going to work. Yeah, do your job.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 4]

He getting paid 48, $50 million a year. And you looking at Aaron Eastmith who.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 3]

Get 10 drop down every series of this playoffs and gave y' all the game winning bucket. Game one bucket. Damn.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 2]

Help me out. We paying you for that.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 4]

First of all. Hey, first of all, they didn't help. Every shot. Every shot that he didn't make has been off the back of somebody else. Like all them besides the Cleveland series autumn shots. He wasn't having a great game. The. The bench and all these other dudes was hooping. Like even the shot.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 2]

Niece Smith hit 7 3.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 4]

Yeah. And then he hit the big shot. He did it. He hit him every time.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 3]

Him.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 4]

That's okay. You. You supposed to shoot that shot.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 3]

So if I have a hiccup, it's okay.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 4]

I mean, you can't have two of those, not two of those in a row to win that NBA championship.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 2]

If you wanted the greats be great.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 1]

Yeah.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 4]

If you a superstar.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 1]

Yeah, I'm still rolling with Tyrese, but like you said you had.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 4]

He's a good. He's a great player, actually.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 3]

But shout out to my youngest. Okay.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 2]

Tyrese too, bro.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 3]

You was out tonight. You were shooting a lot of tonight.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 1]

Hey, Lou Dort is a free safety.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 3]

Yes, for sure. He damn near rigged game. But shout out to Caruso. Caruso came through quality stills tonight. I with you.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 4]

Tyrese is a superstar. I mean, an all star. But a superstar is just like tough, bro.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 3]

Shout out to Hardenstein, locking the pay down. You did your thing tonight.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 4]

It's tough in the morning.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 1]

We gonna really actually break the game now. We're just doing this reaction right now for show for the.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 4]

I mean, I'M overreacting because to us four points.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 1]

But like let's say the super super chat Christopher Cooper said where the shades at? Laughing my ass for four points in the finals. Could be my franchise player Knicks fan. Hey, watch almost complete. Give us some patience. Hey, guess what? We stomped on y' all arena twice. We don't care about the Knicks.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 4]

The Knicks.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 1]

Y' all look bro y' all try.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 4]

And trade for somebody.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 1]

Yeah man, go go apologize to Tibs. Make it right. The home techo in the super chat said Rick got a call out refs post game or we lose in 6 contact keep being one way. I agree the official has been questionable but you know it's not been questionable turnovers and also rebounding. Us playing soft has nothing to do with the reps. I know that. You know I'm saying there are more physical teams so they're going to probably get more calls. But you know just giving the ball up and it's not even that they're taking the ball. We're not even making easy simple passes in a half court setting. So 22 turnovers. You're not going with any basketball game playing that timid. Very simple. So the refs ain't been great but we got to be better than that for sure. King chilling the super chat said I'm waiting on that tick arenas 101 for 500k.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 4]

They ain't call me about that one.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 3]

Yeah, 500k run that Brandon on me.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 1]

See mintmobile.com man, it's wicked, man. Patience. Boy, I seen that first half, I was just like, oh, we are getting ho. We are not playing like we won the championship.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 3]

Yeah, y' all was down for 12 for like by 12 and 15 for the longest I fall back.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 1]

I knew we would make a run. But I think the biggest problem, like, is none of our wings gave us anything tonight. Like, nobody as a collective. You cannot win a game that way. 22 turnovers, not getting offensive rebounds, not getting defensive rebounds in possessions. OKC look like the team that wanted more tonight. And they did.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 3]

Y' all gotta let Ben get loose more, though, bro.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 1]

Honestly. Listen, I've been one of the biggest Ben apologists been with 2 for 11 tonight. Ben was missing open shots.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 3]

Was, bro. But he was in and out of the game.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 1]

That's my dog. It was.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 3]

But they kept taking him in and out of the game. You can't get a rhythm right there.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 1]

If you shoot 18, you're not playing tonight.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 4]

Let's be respectful. He was me.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 1]

That's my dog. But he was. He was mid as today, man.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 3]

I'm rolling with you, bro.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 1]

I am, too.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 2]

We're not saying we not.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 3]

I don't like how they sub you been.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 1]

You know my tweet every Pacer game play double zero tonight, I was nothing. I saw Tony Bradley run the break and hit a euro. And I said, yeah, good game. That was when. That's when I decided that this game, Tony Bradley it been passing the ball.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 2]

On the break when Obi topping had that wide open dunk and he tackled Hardenstein. Yeah, Bradley, yeah. He was tweaking tonight.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 1]

And I mean, what did Thomas Bryant do that was so bad? Like, I mean, damn. It's not like Tony brother did anything. How many rebounds he had tonight?

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 4]

What the hell?

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 1]

I know. At least TB had hit a corner.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 4]

Three. What the helly?

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 3]

So, yeah, TJ McConnell be killing, bro.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 4]

I knew they was gone.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 3]

This is. He brought them all.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 1]

He was hoping he was my dog was killing.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 4]

What do you say? You can't leave me open.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 2]

It's not now.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 3]

He played harder than everybody tonight.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 4]

I told y' all this morning on the show that they need to play him a holla burden together.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 1]

Yeah.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 4]

Instead of with these weak ass. I shouldn't say weak, but these wings ain't really giving y' all no type of motion. Yeah, I like Nimhard. I like Nice Smith. They ain't really giving you. No. He giving you a scoring punch and an energy that they not giving y' all right now, and y' all should let it. Just see if there's something there.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 3]

OKC defense was crazy, though, tonight, y' all.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 1]

OKC's defense is amazing. But, like, even in the first half, the. The turnovers that we're getting, bro, we're just jumping in the air and turn around, passing the ball. We're so nervous. I'm like, just make a simple pass.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 3]

They made Tyrese real uncomfortable tonight, bro.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 1]

No, they make everybody uncomfortable. I'm not going to slight their defense, but some of the decisions you see on them turnovers, it's just like, bro, you can't pass the ball across court.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 3]

Yeah. But as soon as he got the ball, they jumped him, bro. They was on his ass, like, get the ball out of this nigga's hands asap.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 4]

We was having his calf hurt.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 1]

Yeah. Inbounding the ball. We couldn't get the ball.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 4]

His calf hurt. Oh, T. Yeah, he got.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 1]

Sit out there.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 4]

He got calf.

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 1]

[Unnamed Sports Commentator 4]
