they're in the ecf's and beat the defending champs.

alot of parity so it really comes down to matchups/luck now.

Agreed. Also let’s not forget it was a once in a lifetime Nesmith game 1. He will never do that again.

Knicks fans trashing Pacers fans on the streets.. now their team gets trashed in a pivotal game. Nice karma.

They're 2 games from the NBA finals... if Towns/Brunson doesnt work then practically the entire NBA needs to blow it up lol

This. What they need is another coach, Thibs is not it.

I think you guys need another ball handler/play creator aside from Brunson, he has to do TOO much.

I’m glad the Pacers won. They are a MUCH better matchup for the Thunder than the Knicks would have fared.

Thunder are favorites, but it doesn’t feel like a guarantee at all unlike previous years.

OKC already having nightmares about Hali

Congrats to the Pacers. Enjoy the victory.

They will be very lucky to win 2 games against the Thunder tbh.

GG Pacers. The much better team throughout this series and deservedly going to the finals.

I cant see Knicks winning one game against OKC. Pacers play good basketball. The ball moves and Carlisle utilizes everything he has.

thibs runs his roster to the ground.

I do think that’s valid, but all that is that it is just another extreme on the other side.

The fact of the matter is that it’s usually always somewhere in the middle. Thomas Bryant would definitely be the best Center on the Lakers right now, that’s for damn sure.

Being the best center on the Lakers right now is kind of like being the thinnest kid at fat camp though, not much of an accomplishment.

I agree with you though, reactions are basically an extreme take on the other side.

That is also very true. Jaxon Hayes may be one of the dumbest Centers I have ever seen alltime.

Which I think is criminal. How the hell are you THAT damn big, and THAT damn athletic, yet have no object permanence?

Jaxson Hayes is who we thought JaVale McGee was.
Maybe he can figure it out and become a serviceable big man in the back half of his career like McGee did.

Can't believe the ordered curse didn't do it. Is there a refund?

Anything short of the Finals is a failure next year in NY. It’s a lot harder when you start feeling the heat.

My ticket rep has been made aware to call me ASAP when they have info. Called him after game 4.

Pacers are going to cost me a lot of money, I'm going to any/all Finals games. :lol:

It'll be exciting. I don't expect to beat OKC, it'll be the first series I felt that way. I really wasn't too concerned about anyone but the Cavs, then injuries changed that. Let's get it.

What is the rational argument for the Pacers winning?

He will be back to smack talk the Pacers if they lose game 1 to a rested OKC, you can bank on that

Probably no team in the league equipped better to defend him.

Maybe Pacers win 2. Maybe Knicks would've won 1?

Either way neither one of these teams is beating OKC in a 7 game series.

You guys!! Who wins the big ass Game 6?
