Pacers gotta step up their defense. Come on now I'm tired of lazy defenses in todays league.

Oh my god

Defense like that will never let Luka win a chip.

Those who keep saying Luka is better than Tatum, just look at this pathetic defense from Luka.

Wow. Milwaukee players are dropping like flies. Middleton hurt his ankle.

If this Myles Turner shows up every night, Pacers will be a tough out

Injuries suck, but the Bucks also tank the seeding to avoid the Sixers in the 1st round

Knicks-Pacers will be a good series, two very tough teams

The Bucks, Suns, Lakers, Sixers, and Pelicans are cooked. Some of these teams were previously deemed no-jokes.

Pacers are cooking from long range. 21/39, still 8 minutes to play.

Before the playoffs started I think most people agreed our biggest competition in the east were the bucks and sixers. Fast forward, and it's looking likely that both teams lose in the first round.

I expect them to win too, but a sweep is unlikely. Knicks in 6 if I were to guess.

If the celtics can’t get to the finals this year it will be a complete flop

Lol. If you try really hard, you could find some weak ass defense on anyone, even defensive player candidates. Also, by your logic, Steph Curry shouldn’t have won any chip. You just need to surround them with defensive players to cover up their weakness. That’s on the coach.

All these injuries to the Bucks give Doc another pass. Won't be on the hot seat after this.

Don’t sleep on the pacers. They took the season series 2-1. Could go 7

You need to be just good enough not to be able to consistently get picked on. Steph was definitely good enough to not get picked on, and had an all time great defensive player behind him.

Teams with good wings relentlessly target Luka.
