***Official Pacers Playoff Thread***

[t-noah]

The crowd is pretty quiet this game. Not as intense as the Knicks games so far.

They are getting spoiled. Need to get beat a time or two to get off their seats.

Is Myles Turner going to be a star? This year?

 

[HFCS]

I really hate when ESPN has these games

Wish it was the old NBC/TNT hybrid...without even knowing who the NBC people would be because I know it wouldn't be Marv Albert, Amad Rashad and Bob Costas anymore.

It has never felt right on ESPN, and these past few years it's getting worse. Wilbon is horrible too, people just don't realize it because SAS is even worse right next to him. I feel bad for that girl Malika in the middle of it all, she seems like a normal person stuck with a bunch of maniacs.

He is hyper efficient on offense, and gets a lot of blocks...but somehow isn't a defensive stopper.

In these playoffs I'm not sure there's a guy I'd rather have shoot an open 3 for me.

Celtics logo 3 from Tyrese to tie it at half!!!!

That TNT crew is so good. No one else comes close.

I was shocked at how good Chris Paul was in studio. Maybe it's cuz I was so used to the clown show during the Knick series. Still no where close to the TNT crew

Almost as if that crew actually played the game or something.

Yeah, part of it is like...oh everybody doesn't have to be an angry clown all the time. Just a nice knowledgable person who isn't a professional broadcaster is a massive improvement.

Haliburton getting his range and accuracy back from first half of season.

 

[CloniesForLife]

Danger time here

 

[Texbudman]

ESPN countdown isn’t very good. I miss Shaq, Chuck, Ernie, and Kenny.

They are unwatchable like most things on ESPN

 

[HFCS]

Celtics are going to have to end a human life to be called for a foul at the basket in this series.

17-2 ft attempts right now.

Might as well bombs away from 3 if they don't allow free throws for fouls at the rim. They can't make a judgement whether the three goes in or not.

 

[JP4CY]

Good Lord what a missed call.

 

[RING4CY]

Call a freaking foul.

 

[HFCS]

Two guys just mugged Tyrese on a fast break with no call. Tackled him by his arm...an all star player.

Just exclusively shoot 3s, the game is broken when only one team gets fts.

 

[Texbudman]

I really hate when ESPN has these games

Breen is a good PxP guy but Doris is brutal. Can't believe they have the finals too

 

[HFCS]

Good Lord what a missed call.

17 free throws to 2.

This is starting to remind me of game one agains the Knicks:
- Pacers don't look that good
- They still look better than Boston looks
- Refs toss the game to the home team pretty obviously

 

[CloniesForLife]

That missed call was atrocious but nice response from the Pacers to not let Boston get away and come back and cut into the lead

 

[HFCS]

Call a freaking foul.

Pacers could have an 5-10 point lead with any sort of consistent foul calling.
