It's stupid crazy to think they've done this type of comeback in each series in a single playoff run( 2 of them happened in game 1). You can't even replicate this in NBA2K with maxed sliders. UNBELIEVABLE.

All shooting sliders turn up to 100. Everyone will hit everything. Haliburton will hit the game winner. That will happen and there's nothing you can do about it. I won't say they're the clutchest team ever but I don't remember seeing anything like what they've done this postseason. Not with this consistency combined with the impossibility of the odds.

Aaron Nesmith shoots 0% if they are winning and 100% if they are coming back. Centers will start bank shotting three pointers against the buzzer. Its demoralizing even when I'm rooting for them. If there was ever an argument for voodoo or witchcraft being used on the NBA it's the 2025 Indiana Pacers.

There should be a sports doc made on this team and the BS they've pulled off. BS that you would bet your house on being un-replicable and soon be eating cat food in a tent on skid row.


I should have known when in back to back games they did this to the Wolves late in the regular season. We even played well down the stretch and hit dagger after dagger but Obi Toppin and other random players were falling out of bounds swishing 3's and they'd hit like 6-8 3's in the final 2 minutes + overtime.

I can't find all the tweets but in all 4 of these comebacks it was like 0-(big number) and they put the 1 in the W column :lol:

Has anyone actually seen Thomas Bryant miss a shot before?

Thats about as rare as seeing Nembhard show emotion.
Once they have that golden shining moment and it comes to them in a dream or whatever and they understand that, that's when this team and this franchise will go to another level from where it was when I was here.
