Pacers down 30 at the moment, lol. It's gonna be okay folks. We aren't alone.

Damn I wish we traded for Dame!

What did the Bucks even give up?

If the Pacers can make a run and cut the lead to maybe 15, DameTime might go for 60 this game. Otherwise, he is sitting out the entire 4th lol

Dame 33 Pacers 35 first half

Yeah now the Pacers are floundering on the road in their first game. Makes me feel less bad about how we did. (then again, we were pretty brutal offensively)

Stats will probably prove me wrong, but these game 1s seem way more lopsided than ever before. The end results may be closer, but at times, specifically towards the half, the leads have been ridiculous.

Leave Dame in all game and let him get 80.

Dame in one half scored more than anyone else in a whole game in the playoffs so far. Its early for big conclusions, but Bucks may not regret swapping Jrue defense for Dame offense.

100%. We usually always get a few upsets in game 1 but it doesn't seem like it's gonna happen this year. May be the first time in a long time since I can remember that happens.

Ahhh.....nature is healing.

Top seeds are top seeds rightfully again.

We need a Bobby Portis

Pacers shooting 21.6% from three. How can any NBA playoff team be that bad?

OKCs whole vibe is obnoxious

OnlyFranz22 · Post #1194 » by **OnlyFranz22** » Mon Apr 22, 2024 3:50 am

Cason Wallace from OKC could be a sneaky target for us in the offseason

Optimus_Steel · Post #1195 » by **Optimus_Steel** » Mon Apr 22, 2024 4:00 am

Okc looking very shaky and NO wastes a prime opportunity. 4 offensive rebs and no good shots.

We drafted Black over him

Okc lucks out that NO made so many mistakes.

Their first round rookie that is playing crunchtime minutes for them in his first playoff game?

Optimus_Steel · Post #1199 » by **Optimus_Steel** » Mon Apr 22, 2024 4:26 am

That was a major blunder by the OKC coach on that challenge. He was extremely lucky NO screwed up on the other end. That was a 50/50 play with no real clear call either way and they challenge it despite having Chet ready to jump the jump ball. So many blunders.

You mean, the Pacers who have an actual PG who can shoot, and shooters, and who made a trade for an experienced veteran lost?

It can’t be. Because apparently having a PG and making trades is all that needs to be done to become a championship team.

Maybe they should’ve traded Haliburton for Tyus Jones at the deadline. Maybe that would’ve made the difference?
