Hali is probably the closest thing to an old school point guard that I've seen since the years of when CP3/Rondo/Kidd were at their best.

It's easy to forget when they all have to be these scoring combo guards. Hali had a big scoring game too but generally he has like 20 points but is incredibly effective and doesn't throw away possessions.

hali too good, they would change offense to suit him.

Definitely cheering for the Pacers in the NBA Finals vs the Thunder.

True underdog story, Bucks series was a toss up, Cavaliers were favored over them as well as this tough Knicks squad. And then big dogs in the championship round too.

An NBA title win should feel just like a bonus but definitely they’ll feel they have a shot at it considering the momentum they built entering that series.

Team effort, great on both ends, no super elite star though Siakam and Haliburton are nearing that status or at least have stepped up in key moments!

You got me converted Pacers! Make the Finals interesting and close at least, you just might have a puncher’s chance in that one!!!

The celebration was appropriate, I can understand how ppl may think that was a big celebration when you compare it to other markets but in reality, that celebration was small

delon wright is a +11 and played 9 minutes. we found a lineup that can both score and defend them last game, and it was not used this game. delon only played 9 minutes despite making an impact in those minutes. hart again plays 35 minutes while making mistake after mistake

it's coaching disasterclass every single game unless he stumbles into something that works out of pure luck. what a garbage human being man put him in a nursing home

So now it's the coach's fault? I thought it was divine intervention that helped the Pacers win game 1?

No. He crossed a line with Giannis. If he wasn't Haliburton's father, he would have been permabanned from ever attending a game at IND

Forgive others not because they deserve forgiveness, but because you deserve peace.

Knicks need a different coach man and a little more depth

The man refused to bench Keith f#%king Bogans. The Bulls were at like a 95% win rate when that dude scored more than 6 points. Thibs is the most stubborn coach I have ever seen.

hmm Thibs is in trouble
games 1 & 2 were really did it for him.

I have to admit I was a huge critic of Haliburton last year and coming into this year. Watching him play this playoffs has been a lot of fun. This Pacers teams is really easy for you to root for. Hope you guys find your way to the title this year and beat the crap out of OKC (hate those guys).

That celebration was embarrassing, no way around it. They are the Leafs of the NBA.

I'm not sure how ppl enjoy watching guys like Brunson and Sga flop their way into calls. Absolutely pathetic and a mockery of the game. Hopefully Pacers get it done and send this flopper to Cancun.

Knicks always got next year to try again....usually you have to fail multiple times before succeeding

Thank God the coach is not stupid and puts his team in the best position to win.

100% I love and appreciate Thibs for what he’s done but he’s peaked with this roster… we shouldn’t go 48min with single digit pick and rolls/pops involving KAT… his lack of creativity offensively really limits this team.

Great point. He was a bench player on Team USA.

Indy should upgrade their roster. Kevin Pritchard is alseep at the wheel.

Who wins Game 4??
