I think the Pacers could take this game to force game 5

Even the Pacers crowd isn't even into it like the last few games. They are still shocked by that comeback in game 3.

Getting swept after almost winning 2 of the 3 previous games would be a hard pill to swallow. Im sure PG will ask out since stars these days never "really" put any blame on themselves.

JR Smith with one of the most moronic passes I've ever seen to close out a game.

Poor Indy. This series should be split, or Indy down 1-3 at the worst. No clutch in that team this series.

Wonder if George's teammates call him out. 5 for 21

Will Toronto or Milwaukee give Cleveland any trouble?

Westbrook playing great basketball and rebounding balls that can definitely go the other way very impressive

Giannis on Lebron could be fun. If they had Jabari, MIL would have an outside shot at winning a series vs CLE. Without him, I see them winning no more than a game or two. Same with TOR. They're athletic enough to win a game or two in a series, but they don't have the clutch gene in their DNA for when it counts.

Eh, Jimmy 6-21, Giannis 6-19 with 7 TOS, Rose 4-18 then 6-22 in back-to-back games in 2011 first round. LeBron doesn't do much of that these days, and MJ didn't, but otherwise they pretty much all have a stinker or two.

The Pacers looked they would be a lock for a top 3 seed in my opinion. They had picked up Teague, Young, Al Jefferson. While already having Paul George, CJ Miles, Turner and Monta.

On paper, that is a formidable squad.

They severely underachieved which is why Bird was so ready to pull the plug at allstar break.

I really wish the Bulls could have pried Andre Roberson from the Thunder in that highway robbery trade that netted them 3 useless players. Roberson is a terrific defender, and has had a handful of big time playoff moments the last couple years.
