Actually, one possession. If Lebron doesn't hit an easy buzzer beater in game 1.
That was game 1. So, that still doesn't make sense. Their asses were blown out in Game 7, how's that for one possession?

Not saying the Pacers are guaranteed to win the series, but a game one win would have given them 4 wins on the series, thats what PG has to be referring to.

What connection do you have to Miami?

If they lose to us, then they are really going to have to look in the mirror as they've lost to Chicago, Portland, and OKC as well. It's a bit different to lose to all the tough teams you play, rather than having an off night vs the weaker ones.

If we win, I dont see the Pacers getting demoralized, I see them getting hungrier than ever, knowing that they still have some improving to do.
However, if we lose, they get the validation theyve been looking for, the media fellates them, and they feel like they have our number and they get complacent, then come playoff time, when they feel like they got us, we knock their teeth out all over the court, surprise surprise.
I hope Spo sits the Big 3 and we give Beas the keys to the offense and let the Pacers try to beat our bench (like we did to Pop and the Spurs last year), thatll really **** with their heads!

Blah. Game 1 was the only game that was really close during the series and you call the LeBron buzzer beater in OT but forget to mention that Paul George hit a 32-FT 3pt shot at the end of regulation to send the game to OT. What if he missed that low percentage shot?

Yep. When the games really matter, this team plays its hardest. That level is hard for other teams to match. That's why we'll get blindsided and throttled by teams like the Bulls. They play hard every game, and are always amped to play us. We just don't meet their energy level in the regular season.
That brings back memories of the 2011 team that got beaten every game in the regular season by the Bulls. Then the playoffs come and we take them out in five games. Specifically in that last game, when we were down double digits late, and we clamped down on them and pulled out the win to end the series. You could see the look in the Bulls' faces. They had that look of surprise and shock in their faces. That's what believing too much in regular season games will do to you.

If you assume that the series doesn't go to game 7 with a Pacers winning game 1 to end the series in 6, then yes, you could say they were 1 possession away from the finals. Some people look at it as if the Pacers won on the road in game 1, there would be no game 7 to lose on the road.

What if Ray Allen missed the low percentage 3 falling out of bounds against the Spurs? Takes luck to win sometimes as opposed to being the beater team.
