They did it again! I was telling you, this team is a real problem any time it's remotely close. They never stop. Swarm to compel TO's. You can't prevent Hali from getting to the hoop. Got to get help & hope he misses the open man, which he normally doesn't. And he's clutch AF.

Literally been 2 months of this if you follow them, didnt even react. Insane black magic going on.

Refs also constantly swallow their whistle on their defense while calling soft s*** the other way like that hali foul.

The Pacers go 110% for the full 48 minutes. They are relentless.

And they play so damn smart. You could actually kind of see this one coming in the final few minutes.

They fight and compete for basically every last possession and the basketball gods are gifting them with some insane ****. I respect it but I hate it

Turned it off with 40 seconds left. Thought it was completely over. Insane.

I don't like the kid, but he's earning his stripes. Can't hate on results like that.

I said this before the Bucks series. Late game they turn the intensity up big time and it works.

I wonder if Kings fans ever think about what could have been with Hali. He seemed like he wanted to stay in Sacramento.

Hopefully we're not doing the same with AJ Johnson in a few years... :blank:

When we were up 7 w/ 35 to go, I genuinely wasn't comfortable, knowing their history in conjunction w/ ours. That was a dangerous combo for us. In Cleveland's case it was bad enough. They just didn't drop a ball right in their hands. Did everything else we did though. So 5 pts w/ 27 left.

The Cavs are desperately missing Garland’s playmaking. That was a brutal closing stretch.

This was the main reason why around the first week of March I realized that I wanted no part of this Pacers team in the playoffs and why I was on my Shut Giannis down and just take #6 rants the final month of the regular season.

A team that goes 110% for the full 48 minutes was absolute kryptonite for a Bucks team that went 110% in like 3 games all season.

Crazy also that Indy was a big underdog in this series and they might sweep. After watching them play us I couldn't see them as an underdog.

Pacers look great when they're facing a team missing two starters.

A lot of strus iso with Mitchell completely gassed and Ty jerome looking like the deep end of bench guy he used to be.
