Plus Mitchell got kicked around pretty good all game.

Pacers-Celtics rematch in the ECF?


It's a shame I can't fully enjoy the cavs being down 0-2 because we lost game 1.

Every time I see Jimmy Butler, I feel like I missed out on us kicking his butt this season on Miami! I deserved that after all the crap he talked after we beat them last season!

Steph's chances of getting back to the finals and another shot at a ring is increasing every week.

Has there ever been a second round where every team lost home court advantage in the first game?

teams have come back from 20 down in the fourth. I don’t know how many in the playoffs, but I’m sure a few have done it. I wish teams would stop smelling themselves when they get up… okay, IDC about other teams, I wish the Celtics would stop doing it.

Yep, it happened in the 2nd Q. He did play after it but you could see it was pretty rough for him.

We should go after naz reid. Think he fits perfect on the team. Porzingis is too injury prone and unreliable

Thinking about it now, Cavs fans chanting "overrated" to Haliburton is hilarious!

In the end, Hali got the last laugh as the Pacers stole all their LAND in Cleveland.

Pacers on May 6, 2025 (tonight)



From same account…

First time in league history that all road teams won game 1 of 2nd round.

Hot take, Hali >Fox. This has been the case for me for a while.
Nuggets- OKC will be good, I fully expect OKC to win next game. Same for Wolves. Tho really shocked all home teams lost…
Good assessment:

The only issue with Hali is he's not a good defender.
