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.


None of this matters because this was the Pacers best chance to make the Finals

Knicks/Bucks/Sixers/Heat will beat Pacers next season
Bronny will become Murray 2.0

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....


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


Well only an idiot would say that with no consideration of the opponents and who was actually on the floor due to injury and how the pacers gave them a game etc etc. This guy's listing all these accolades and asking what a game 5 is. He deserves the flak.

Sadly, it doesn't matter. All that people are going to remember is the fact that it was a sweep. Doesn't matter how competitive those games were, people are only going to remember the final score.

Oh well. As I said at the start of the series, we had already exceeded expectations this year. Whatever happened in this series was just gravy. Let's hope that Haliburton's hamstring issues get resolved over the summer and come back next season healthy. That should be our primary focus.

Great series by the Celtics. Had it been any other team, we do not lose all 3 of those close games. Their execution down the stretch, especially on the defensive end, was unreal. Jrue and Derrick White are an incredible defensive duo.

The Celtics were the best team in the East by a considerable margin this year and they deserve to be in the Finals. I wish them the best of luck.


Itll say sweep but Indiana made the C’s work hard for it. Can’t ask anymore for a team missing its star.

Good luck y’all next season!

They should have. The NBA should be more open minded about it..like how they were with past awards.

Pacers offense was annoying because there are times they hit 8 or 9 out of 10. Celtics rampped up the d in the last few mins. I know they are missing guys but Nem stepped up, TJ was unconscious, and the rest were solid to good. Their depth shouldn't be overlooked.

Who exactly is pulling the injury card here? There are only like 4-5 Pacer fans on the GB and no one has pulled any injury card. What all of us have done, on the other hand, is tip our hats to the Celtics for winning this series. They were great and pulled off some amazing wins in the clutch. You can't deny that. And if you don't believe me, just ask Celtics fans.

You're just making up stuff and trying to make us the villain because you were mad that you lost in the ECSF. It's just pathetic.

Well if you could read, you can see I was responding to a guy who said there was going to be a game 5 in this series as Celtics were down 6 at the time.

Keep hating though bro. Not a great way to live but you seem to enjoy it

I dunno bro. That game 1 loss has them shook. I watched the Bills lose the first superbowl. And the next 3 everytime they got there, they were shook. They couldn't perform. They just couldn't overcome the mental block. I'm seeing the same thing from Pacers in games 3 and 4.

I'm not a big fan of this whole "we're just to glad to be here" thing that's going on with the Pacers fans...

Talk some **** to these Celtics fans man. We're a 7 game series away from them updating their sigs and becoming the sole franchise with the most Championships.
