It's a long way from Friday. Here is to hoping your guys get healthy.

[leper-con]

Carlisle is a good coach

Even nuttier when both of those deficits were under 50 seconds.

Pacers play team ball so Tyrese doesn’t have the luxury of being selfish.

Every fan of the "true PG" likes to tell themselves this when in reality, their "true PG" doesn't have the bag to get a shot whenever they want.

If Hali could drop 25 on 60 TS a game, he would but he can't. It's been 3 years.

He doesn't draw free throws, he doesn't have simple ways to generate offense, he isn't that crafty of a guy.

He's a bread and butter pick and roll PG that shoots 3s and makes the right pass.

Why are you saying this like it is a bad thing? Being elite in the pick and roll, hitting teammates with good passes and being a competent 3 point shooter leading to a high quality offense is literally the idea "true PG". Teams don't need to be constructed around outdated isolation players like it is the late 90s. Your takes reek of someone who lives for instagram reels.

Hali literally put his defender on skates with multiple crossovers and hit a step back three. I mean, what kind of bag do you want?

Hes good, if he hadnt pushed through that injury to reach the 65 game threshold that one year, the narrative about him would be completely different.

And in consecutive weeks.

So the Cavs had the ball and they were ahead by 3 within 28 seconds, but they lost it. I don't like these games, not high quality.

Mathurin truly had a great game as well. 19 points in 20 minutes.

The Pacers should never put 5 bench players on the court at the same time again in the playoffs though. As good as the Pacers bench is, you've gotta have some starters in at all times.

That dude said some silly things, but I don't think he realized how much credibility he lost when he called Nuntius a casual.

Not sure who will ever take him seriously on this board again.

I just don't learn with the Pacers. They have been having crazy games all season but turned off this one and the Bucks miracle... Darnit!

Also just wanted to say, Ty Jerome was pure trash.

Also just wanted to say, Ty Jerome was pure trash.

Has been all series, he's a combined 9 for 34 (1 for 8 from deep).

It wouldn't matter as much but the Cavs are already missing so much scoring due to injuries.

[Nuntius]

Also just wanted to say, Ty Jerome was pure trash.

Never seen a player lose so much money in a span of two games.

[basketballwacko2]

Well FORK ME!!!! I turned this game off when Cavs got that big 7 point lead was it with less than a minute to go. I can't bbelieve this.

That's about the point I got home and turned it on. Nesmith with the missed FT dunk cut it to 5 and then the Pacers D just took it. Haliburton for the 3 to win it, amazing finish.

[basketballwacko2]

Maybe. Elite superstars deliver the W though. Not fully on him obviously, but this was supposed to be his moment he/they failed. Not only for the game, but could be for the series.

Tough, but not every star/superstar are made winners i guess.

Stop it. He put up 48 points when the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th scoring options were in street clothes, he did his part. He himself is not 100% right now.

Yep. He barely had the strength to get up from the floor at the end of the game. He carried an absolutely immense load.

I guess they shouldn't have traded LeVert!

[Dupp]

It was really a comedy of errors and just being out hustled to lose that game.

[Ridicululz]

Carlisle really trusts his guys
