I agree with the consensus here. Indiana is a special story, and I hope they can pull off the upset. I think it's a long shot, because it's so hard to beat a team two games in a row this late into a series, and OKC is very intimidating, athletically, when they get the defense swarming to its full potential. Then again, IND is a great road team, so I'd say there's a puncher's chance.

Obviously, I'm biased for Carlisle, but the real reason I'm pulling for IND is the reason I liked Carlisle to begin with - THEY MOVE THE BALL. Everyone touches it, and when they're clicking their brand of basketball is the most beautiful thing the sport has to offer.
