Has a team ever punted a playoff game before? I’m not saying we should do it, I’m just curious.

Feel like Midds is about to have an absolute wreck of a game. Tired, injured, only plus ball handler. Get ready to doubled and hounded all night champ.

If we're getting dudes back for game five, I'd bench Khris for this one.

Your post had nothing to do with the game tonight and was just repeating stuff you've said ad nauseam in other threads. Stay on topic, stop derailing and backseat moderating. This isn't the first time but it will be the last. Thanks. MD

I’ll be on a flight for this one. Normally it would bother me but this just feels different :cry:

Any news on what happened to Dame and what the prognosis is? I didn’t get a chance to watch game 3.

haven't seen any news on the mri either.

Siakam stepped on his ankle when Dame was coming down from a made layup. aggravated his already ailing achilles.

Grade 1 Achilles strain. (Least serious strain)

Doc had encouraging things to say on Giannis. I would at least really enjoy watching a couple more games of him this season no matter what happens

If Giannis is moving around as well as Doc said he is, then he needs to be out there for Game 5. No point in saving him for a Game 6 or 7 that won’t happen.

Thanasis breakout game!

Didn't Giannis miss the Heat series and come back down already 3-1? I'm not really into that. This team isn't coming back from 3-1, even if healthy.

Pacers aren't Miami with Butler shooting insane percentages.

ETA What's Doc's playoffs record when down 1-2 or 1-3? :wink:

Might as well rest Midds tonight and have everyone ready as can be for Game 5. Play the young guys hopefully one of them gets something going so we can play them in G5.

Maybe I’m reading him wrong but I’m not sure if Doc is being truthful about Giannis. Think he’s just playing games with the Pacers.

That's how I took it

To all my optimistic homies out there, I'm with you. Ride or die. 120-104.

Thta is what I was thinking.

Would it not be better to ambush them, so to speak, with Giannis suddenly playing game 5?
Or perhaps he wants to pressure them for game 4. Make them think, oh **** if we fumble tonight we might actually lose this series if Giannis comes back.

But on the other hand, he's Doc Rivers, I have no idea what he's thinking half the time.
