Not sure you recover emotionally from that loss if you're Cleveland.

Plus Mitchell got kicked around pretty good all game.

Pacers-Celtics rematch in the ECF?

They did have 3 Key Players OUT. But, yeah, they choked it in ty\he end.

7 point lead with 48 seconds left in the game. Epic choke.

Yep. No argument here. Cavs had it; they were coasting.

On another note:
Cavaliers and OKC are the only ones that would have Homecourt over us.

As of today, NY has homecourt advantage over us.

Hoping that changes tomorrow.

It won't. If Celtics win tomorrow the Knicks still have homecourt advantage. Games 3,4,6 in NY and Games 5,7 in Boston.

The Cav's lost because Ty Jerome just is not a good starter. 1 -14 is a joke..Cavs not having Garland is huge.

Flip side Nesmith is so good. all out energy and a good shooter as well. At least a very good defender.

Stupid stupid Ime..

A year or 2, I will be saying it about Reed Sheppard.

Via @keerthikau:

Only 3 teams have come back from down 7+ in the last minute of a playoff game since 1997.

Thunder on May 13, 2014
Pacers on April 29, 2025 (7 days ago)
Pacers on May 6, 2025 (tonight)

I’ve never seen a team come back from losing first 2 games at home. Denver tried last year, ran out of gas in game 7 and lost. Pacers will advance.

Pretty sure Celtics did this against the Bulls in 2017

Minnesota has been playing very ugly ball.

Yep, Rondo got injured for the Bulls mid-series and Gerald Green somehow helped when he was used as a starter by Stevens in succeeding games.

Curry OUT with hamstring injury?? Wolves can't blow this.

seeing all these other teams drop the ball majorly makes last night's nonsense feel much better lol

I never hear people bring up how great other guys are when they play poorly, only when Tatum does. Then I can’t hear enough about the greatness of others. It’s as if I didn’t see them look worse than Tatum a game or two before Tatum was called all types of things. Real quiet on Ant until he pops off with another good one.

Or maybe Marcus Smart

Yeah but then it's not going to count. Cupcake playoffs or whatever they said last year.

That would be a tough matchup. They are peaking and playing very connected and smart offensively. Haliburton attacked the rim over and over again to pull out the game. Our end of game decision making makes us very vulnerable in close games.

Pacers still have to beat Cavs and we still have to beat Nyk. It takes what it takes, we are guaranteed nothing.

Look here, note Ant is playing well last few trips, Tatum take note…. :roll:
