I think they're holding him off as long as possible...if there's a game 6/7 he should be back.

Anybody else want to talk about how stupid the knicks are for winning when they couldve faced these "lowly" Pacers?

Man Hali just got his double figure points only now?

This is a statement game if there is one. Thought Giannis is back in G3 or 4? Rumors not true and will only be available much later in the series?

I still can't believe Dallas fired Carlisle.

Those Sheppard/McConnell minutes with Pascal and Nesmith really swung the game.

Well...

Looks like Indy grew up and gained experience overnight.

It would be a different series with Giannis, but it's quite an adjustment and higher standard of poise from Pacers tonight nonetheless.

Indiana played a whole lot better tonite.

Game 1 they had major playoff jitters, young team has to settle down. But they also have a solid vet in Siakim!

Yo did we really trade Pascal away for a bag of doritos? And how stupid is every other team for not beating out Indiana's offer? Warriors and Mavs I'm looking at you. Mavs gave up a similar deal for freaking PJ Washington.

He didn't get along with Luka. Would you have kept Carlisle over Doncic?

Is there a 2-1 deal where you win game 3 you automatically win game 4??

When it comes to letting a team believe they are better it does. Every game the Bucks defense will get worse.

Aside from Siakam and Turner, what’s impressive with this Pacers win is it was the bench guys who held the fort and actually created a big lead when Milwaukee had that 8-0 run (late third) and cut it down to 4 points.

Good poise from the Pacers and on both ends too (yes offense is explosive but lots of good defensive stands there late in the 2nd half)

Not if Giannis comes back.

Siakam with back to back career playoff highs. 73 points.
