I was a fan of Nesmith when the Cs drafted him.

Really believed he was more than just a shooter.

But getting Brogdon then Jrue and Banner 18 was a great trade for us.

14 point lead with 3:44 on the clock is a choke fest.

Don’t remind me. I kept saying all year this team wwas very one dimensional. They were not balanced and the proof was in the pudding.

We caught them at the right time, they weren't quite ready last year. Haliburton going down mid-series was also fortunate for us.

Those 2 Challenges really helped the Pacers.


You get a second challenge if you win your first one.

Did they use both in regulation?

I have to check the replay again, but I thought they got a little lucky when Siakam's foul overturned, on the final replay shown it looked like the ball wasn't clearly loose until after Siakam hit the guy's hand.

No. They used the second one in Overtime.

Somehow I have it in my mind that the Cs faced the Pacers 3x in Brad Stevens era (swept all series). It's only twice apparently.

Best game of the year.

I wish we played like either of these teams.

Hell NO!!! :lol:

Sometimes it works out, sometimes it doesn't.
Plenty of High Draft Picks that turned out to be Busts. And plenty of End of Draft Players that did well.

Aaron Nesmith is this generation's Reggie Miller, and apparently there is no one better than Hali when it comes to crazy improvised buzzer beaters

Knicks were a little tired and I'm sure they wish they could go back & do things differently, but really, I didn't even think they choked. Indy straight up stole this one from them. Catch a replay if you can...

Tatum can play any style. Although he'd have to unlearn so much now.

But yeah, with our coach we have no chance to do anything like either of these teams.
