Dictionary definition of a trap game here for the Pacers. This is where coaching comes into play, Carlisle has to light a fire under them.

I picked the Cavs in 6 or 7 before the series, but I might have to change my pick if the Cavs don't win this game comfortably.


So far so good.

This is why one game doesn’t mean much. But same can be said for Cavs. But winning by double digits without 3 starters/major role players shows how good they can be when they aren’t clanking everything.

And I spoke too soon. Indy’s 4th quarter runs need to be studied

The insane thing about the Pacers is they almost never attempt bad shots.

I have watched all 5 games against the Bucks and these first 2 vs the Cavs and it feels like in the 7 games the Pacers have taken a total of like 3 bad shots.

Indy is reaching that level of looking so incredibly well-coached, I am starting to wonder if Carlisle needs to be investigated for brainwashing his players....lol.

They are locked in.

The Pacers are playing at such a high level (Playing hard, basically) that if you don't match it, you're going to end up getting hurt. Like we just saw there with Mitchell.

Mitchell has 30 shots and 20 free throws in just 35 minutes. That is some crazy usage.

What the actual ****, man. This team is running on the darkest black voodoo magic I've ever seen.

If a horse shoe mated with a rabbit foot it would produce the Indiana Pacers
