Knicks & Wolves both getting swept is crazy

Brunson again. It's so satisfying to see such a whiner get his just desserts.

Hard to hate on Indiana, they're pretty tough

Has there ever been a run by a team like this? Closest comparison I have is the 04 Pistons but this Indy team has come even further from left field imo. Incredible run.

Would love to see the Bucks move the ball half as well as the Pacers do. That’s a huge part of why they win. We are going nowhere until we run an actual intelligent offense.

They've had some luck but what an out of nowhere insane run this has been so far. Also really glad we haven't been the only ones they've made look foolish at times.

Gotta get buy in from Giannis and I think he loves having the ball and scoring too much.

Pacers like that lil brother that's all grown up and much stronger. Giannis alone would destroy them but now, they're quite deep and you're not beating them without at least 7-8 guys that won't **** themselves down the stretch. What's most impressive is their mental toughness.

I agree. He’s a complete ball stopper most times. I had always hoped that part of his game would develop a bit.

Pacers GM Pritchard built a great team.

Horst been riding Giannis coattails for four years now.

When Miles Turner is forcing his defensive compatriot to guard him 25 feet from the basket that is when I call him (Miles Turner) the Indiana Spacer feel free to use no big deal

Yeah, we can’t have that much ball movement. But, in fairness to Giannis it was a lot different years ago when he had healthy Middleton to work with.

Carlisle is a better coach than we've had in a long while. I think he's better than Bud.

I don't think the Pacers roster is amazing or anything honestly. They have some talent but I think Carlisle is just one of the great coaches who got slept on for several years there but is reminding everyone how awesome he is.

I think the 2024-25 Bucks with a healthy Dame coached by Carlisle could've been awesome. He would've had us way more organized on both ends, made it a point to infuse more shooting into every Giannis lineup, incorporated way more motion on and off ball, and wouldn't have had us below average in 3PT volume while being #1 in 3PT%. Not a chance he starts an Andre/Prince and then Prince/Kuzma lineup for 90% of the year around Giannis/Dame, and he would've made so much more of guys like Green and GTJ around Giannis' gravity. We wouldn't have even traded for Kuzma to tank us if Carlisle was the guy.

Coaching is so goddamn critical. Pacers have a great one and we have a cancer.

Thibs rode that whack Payne/Robinson lineup too long. For a coach with a reputation for running his best players into the ground, this was the game to do it. Meanwhile, Carlisle pulling all the right levers.

Without a doubt, always been like top 3, like it's Spoelstra, pop tier then comes Carlisle. Bud is like top 10.

Seems way longer than a month and a half ago that some of you guys were telling me Relax, we're going to beat these clowns in 5.
