I am hearing and seeing the exact opposite. I actually don't like being the favorite. This team plays better when they are the underdogs.

Me too…..I haven’t seen anyone pick the Pacers

Please don't make the same error as KATs Wolves last season did. it was always about Denver Denver Denver. And as they got past them... it all fell apart.
This year, all the talk was how to beat Boston. forget this and focus on the Pacers completely. otherwise they will run us out of the gym.



Every series we've played in since we got Brunson it's been a dog fight to get us out of the playoffs, nobody has beaten us convincingly like 4-1, 4-0 etc, no matter the injuries we've had. The team that beat us last year is one that talked a lot of ****, they're going to get theirs now that we're healthy.

Brunson >>> Halibumton
Mikal>>> Nembhard
KAT>>> turner
Hart = neismith
OG>>>> siakim

Everyone who thinks otherwise
Stop it. Get some help.

Precious can get some burn this series. Expand the rotation and keep guys energy on full vs this high octane Pacers team.

Precious can crash the boards, switch on defense, and maybe even get his offense going a little vs the Pacers' bench.

At the very least he could win the matchup vs Obi.

The only team that scares me is OKC, largely because of the way they're officiated.

If the Pacers beat us, I think it's in no fewer than 7 games. But I'm optimistic we beat them this time around (in 7).

OKC's offense looks horrific, but like you said, they're allowed to play rugby will Shai flops around on offense.


I think the Pacers lose in 6, there's just so much history of slower teams dragging fast-paced teams into their battleground and turning it into ugly possession basketball. Then again, we controlled pace against them last year and were putting up an ungodly amount of ppg despite being injured :lol: Man, **** Indiana.

I expect you all to bring your A-game. No excuses!

I do expect to see Payne/Precious get a couple minutes per game during this series.

i really don't see why we'd lose more than one fluke game to this pacers team after what we've been through this postseason
