0-4 and 3 choke jobs since Hali trolled with the Reggie hoodie. Front runner won’t be wearing that now. :lol:

Celtics struggling with Siakam and TJ lmao

Luka and Kyrie with Lively and Gafford lobs will destroy the Celtics.

Are you telling me Horford will be guarding those lobs?
Jrue and White are getting cooked by Luka And Irving
PJ Washington will be hitting corner 3's
Bronny will become Murray 2.0

And neither should they.

Props to the Pacers. They will be in the mix the next few years. A whole team of Michael F Jordans.

What context do you need?

Best offense in nba history
Best record in the league by 7 games
Best record in the east by 14 games
Best record va teams over .500
Best record vs the West

An 18 point per game winning margin the first 2 rounds?

A sweep in the conference finals.

Tell me the context bro. Or STFU


All your reg season crap you trying to keep bringing up is exactly what makes needing 5 games in the first 2 rounds embarrassing in the first place.

STFU yourself clown....


Oh no, they lost 2 games in the first 2 rounds. How will Celtics live with themselves.

Hahaha

This was always house money for the Pacers. Should have had game 1. Whatever. Young team growing and great experience building. Boston is stacked. Gonna enjoy the finals should be a great series.

The Pacers competed hard, they just failed in the clutch. They put up a decent showing.

I thought Tatum deserved it though.

30/10/6 in the series


.564ts

Jaylen

30/5/3 on .596ts

Jaylen played better defense during the series too. He was also more consistent. Jayson was horrendous in game 2 specially on defense. Jaylen had the clutch 3 in game 1 nd clutch block here were huge. It couldve went to either Jayson was better in 2 games, Jaylen was better in the other 2 games but Im glad Jaylen got it since Jayson got it before.

Only an idiot would think making the Finals in 14 games was anything other than impressive.

Celtics with a post season record of 12-2 and people are like "oH tHe CeLtIcS sHoUlD bE eMbArRaSsEd"
"I’ve seen a guy that played for the Pacers, gave them everything they had, or everything he had, and was essentially traded to the dogs. And I’m speaking on Danny Granger, who was one of the better players in Pacers history"

Pacers with Mathurin back and more experience from Jarace Walker, they will be a tough team next season. Their core is basically set.

Very true Porzingis will definitely do a better job than DPOY Gobert and Kat/Reid with McDaniels and Edwards playing help defense

Meh

I need to say congrats to Pacers and their fans - especially Nuntius. Great poster with a level head.

Pacers have a lot to look forward to. Young likeable team on the rise. They’ll be better for this experience and witnessed huge growth from Nembhard.

They were equally good. Vote was 5-4 for Jaylen. If Jrue got one of Jaylens votes than Jays wouldve been tied w/ 4

I mean the other teams best player went down halfway through game 2 and the Celtics still might have been down 3-1. Not seeing the flex.

Are we really going to bring up injuries considering the teams the Pacers faced?
