Best one I can remember. Incredible games with incredible finishes.

Every team is very well constructed and have legitimate chances to win the whole thing.

It’s sad this is the best the east has to offer. I don’t even feel like we are that far away.

Need a scorer like Hali or Brunson which is not easy to find. Ingram can be that maybe but he’s too injury prone.

Yup!

Can't wait to be in the mix next season. Once you sneak into the playoffs, anything can happen in today's league. The days of super teams are far behind us. It's a lot more fun this way!

We still need that closer. Not sure if Ingram can be that guy and he's always injured.

OG chocked on that FT with 7.3 seconds left in the 4th. Knicks would have won still with Hail's clutch 2 pointer if he made all his FT'S

Nesmith got 17 points in 3 minutes in the 4. I wouldn't call this one an oil painting by the Pacers.

True but they executed down the stretch.

All in all I feel this is a more a collapse by NY. They took their foot off the gas.

Pacers are more well equipped to beat OKC. They don’t rely on Jalen Brunson to score 30 and have a deep bench with a clutch shooter and creator Halliburton. And they’ve learned to play defense in the playoffs. But OKC is a bit more gritty. It would be a closer series then most think though, probably 6 games.

It's the best playoffs I've ever watched and I've been watching since the late 90s.

I spent most of my NBA fandom crying out for more parity and being told by Lakers fans that parity would kill the NBA.

If Ingram is healthy, he’ll be that guy.

He wasn't playing like this right after the injury. It took him sometime to get his groove back but he's finally peaking at the right time.

The Pacers just keep doing this impossible thing that u never see in history. Ever. And doing it on the big stage too. 3 times in the same playoffs. If they did it once then cool but how is this even possible to keep happening?

3 times

It's amazing they seem like a team of destiny.

I just wish we didn't have to listen to Reggie Miller. At one point he called Delon Wright, Dorell Wright.

Or when Toppin had a game sealing dunk he said "remember when he missed a dunk in the first? " Like we don't need you Reggie. Just go sit courtside with Spike.

I don’t mind Reggie he keeps it interesting. Stan Van has really improved though I like listening to him he’s almost as good as his brother Jeff now

We’ll see if Kawhi can win his 3rd ring. This time as the GM of the OKC Thunder.

What an epic meltdown lol. Up by 5 with 30 seconds left, why is Brunson passing that ball 5 seconds into the shot clock? I get that it looked like what would have been an easy bucket but the clock is your friend at that point.

What an up and down game by OG. Really good at some points, and atrocious at others.

I have Indy in 6.

These playoffs have been amazing. Every year now you don't know who's going to win. Keeps everyone on their toes and makes the league more exciting.
