Despite my disdain for their franchise... this Pacers team is fun to watch. They are completely demolishing Cleveland right now. Kinda wild to watch Carlisle coach one of the most prolific offenses of all time, but that dude is super smart and continues to evolve with the game. The Pacers spacing, motion & ball movement has been impressive. And yeah, Hali is doing his thing. I mean... **** Indy still. But they playing really well.

I am still a homer even after the Pistons go out. Admit I'm enjoying Cleveland being thrashed right now after they fired JB and Atkinson won the COY. As much as I am enjoying that, it does suck that Garland is hurt and Mathurin is just low - the Pacer I don't like. Things can change quickly but I'm all in on Pacers in 5.

"If this was a boxing match they'd stop it right now" Yes they would. It's a whoopin


80-39 at the half.

Pacers going off

Pacers stomping the Cavs 80-39 at halftime... just incredible.

The Central division is going to be tough next year the Bulls even were really improved after the trade deadline they finished the season 14-5 down the stretch which was super impressive.

Indy was right next to us for a while in the Standings a few years ago... bottomed out after trading away some of their talent. They rebounded quicker to being a good team. It feels like we still need to make the equivalent of their Siakam trade. Not sure who/when that deal happens but we need to add that 2nd all-star somehow.... perhaps even a fringe all-star like Siakam that the team is deciding to hit the reset button and go with more of a youth movement and perhaps doesn't want to pay out a big 5 year max deal to.

What's the biggest blowout in NBA post-season history? Asking for a friend.

Tatum is done. Looks like Achilles. Bye Bye Boston.

Wow

[ComboGuardCity]

This is so bad for Boston. They have to shed salary next year and Tatum can’t even play. They might as well think about tanking to be honest like the Spurs before Duncan

[MotownMadness]

Hopefully Bucks trade Giannis out west now. The East is gonna go through some changes at the top.

[MotownMadness]

Randle has been great these playoffs

Yep. Bucks, Celtics, Philly might all be out of serious running next season. Cooper going west as well. Gonna by Cleveland (injury prone), NY (no depth), Indy, Orlando (injury prone), and maybe us at the top of the heap? Great opportunity for us to start moving towards contention.

I appreciate the kind words.

Hopefully some of the poster on our board hear this and understand that major changes aren’t the answer.

Knicks vs Pacers in the ECF who you taking? Feels almost inevitable now. Would be crazy to see the Knicks make the NBA Finals after we played them so close in round one.

Tatum probably has a torn achilles.

I think that one's probably over.

Obviously not a Celtics fan but you hate to see stuff like this happen.

I agree no major changes, but if the right move comes a long maybe. We have to add 1-2 guys. I don’t want to lose Beasley or Schroeder either. **** maybe Ivey is enough and we just run it back, idk lol

[MotownMadness]

Confirmed torn Achilles for Tatum. I wonder how he comes back from that because some guys don’t.
