All offseason and this playoffs all we heard was 'the Pacers only beat the Knicks in the playoffs last year because the Knicks were hurt' So that's an interesting plot line to follow.

people overreacting to this don't even realize how many things had to go their way to squeak out a W

don't forget we missed 2 FT's and also had a missed goaltend that turned what would've been a 6 pt lead in OT to a 1 pt lead. pacers aren't winning the series, give me a break.

This might be minute for minute the best BBall game I've ever seen. This series will be absolute cinema.

.3% chance for Indy to win this and they did. Maybe 1.8% for the Mavs lottery isn’t that bad ;)

All you degenerate gamblers like me will be proud of my $20 bet on Indiana with around 5-6 minutes left at +1100. Wooo!

yeah, that was rough. Knicks lost this game mostly on their own but that was a huge no-call


True. It definitely was a huge momentum swing since we hit a 3 right after that block.

It's also an extremely hard call to make in real time. The replay did show that it was a goaltend but the refs have to call the game in real time and in real time, I couldn't tell you whether it was a block or a goaltend.

Pacers are a team of destiny. Sometimes the basketball gods are in your favour. The comebacks vs Cavs and now this.

Hopefully they can take it all the way to a championship!

I don't believe that's what OG tried to do. Looked like hr was indecisive, got caught in the middle and turned it over. I could be wrong though
