Watch those last three athletic circus finishes by Obi Toppin and realize Hawkeye fans were outraged Garza wasn't NPOTY over him his junior year. Obi has more talent in his pinky finger than Garza.

They don't but either do the Bucks, this was the best first round matchup Indy could have asked for.
Yeah, I think the Pacers may be slightly better than 4/5 Cavs/Magic but they are in a way better spot at #6 and avoided the play-in. They would be in a good spot even if Bucks were totally healthy. They can make ECF if they stay healthy themselves outside of Mathurin who seems for sure out entire playoffs.
No Giannis, Dame and now Portis gone, if Pacers don't take this at home they should be ashamed.
You can not take a second off on defense when TJ McConnell is on the court, not a fraction of a second.
Toward the end of the year they started playing Tyrese at 2 just to get him a little more run. He just is the ultimate Energizer Bunny.

You get to games 4 and 5 and you start to see a lot more guys getting T'd up. This series has been chippy, Russ and Washington Jr had their deal the other night, Knicks/6ers had a couple moments today too. You know the playoffs are in full swing when guys are getting tossed.
It's only a 5 point game but Bucks shouldn't want current pace even if they were full strength.
Portis has been acting like a maniac all series. His eyes look like he's a sociopath.
When I see Portis, all I can think about is BDJ and crew running Portis and Arkansas out of Hilton in 2014.
Man, tyrese missed everything in pregame then comes out hot in the game. Crazy how he makes some of these shot!
Milwaukee currently shooting 74% from two, which is just ridiculous. The Pacers' defense has not been good, but I also think it's been better than it might seem just from that number--based on ESPN's shot charts, the Bucks are 6-8 from two on shots outside the lane, most of which have been pretty well defended. Even with the shot-makers that the Bucks have, you wouldn't expect that to continue.
Of course, even with the most wide open threes, you also probably wouldn't expect the Pacers to stay over 50% from three in the second half, either.

Refs. He got hit on the 3 point attempt but he probably should have had free throws on a few other shots too. There was one play Bucks just shoved him down and it triggered their fast break.
Not sure if it's bad officiating or "playoff basketball" but I get why he's mad.
