Nice question from the sideline reporter, just got up in there about the ejection.

Every time I see the Pacers play, it’s like a meaningless RS game with no defence or intensity

They must be better than that but I haven’t seen it

After looking lost and jittery in game 1 (blow out loss), young Indiana has bounced back greatly.

Bucks are old and has too many injuries.

Wrong.
Losing to the Bucks without their 2 stars is colossal fail on the Pacer’s part. Clearly pretenders.

Beasley is twerking on the pacers
Wow
Pacers don’t even send a hard foul ?

The Kings sold high on Haliburton.

Except said player has been terrible for half a season.

Shoulda took the deal in 2020 from Dallas: Brunson + 18 + 31 for the right to draft Haliburton.

But then again Brunson's being called a chucker in the Knicks/Sixers thread, so can't win.

Brunson is very clearly a better player than Haliburton

Dallas offered several teams in 2020 Brunson + 18 + 31 for Haliburton, every team said no. Detroit actually said yes but they wouldn't provide a guarantee Haliburton would be there to draft or the deals off. Only reason it didn't happen. Quite a few teams would be different now if that trade happened.

So proud of this Bucks squad for scrapping even down the two stars. Still think Indy closes it out in game 6 in their house, but still hilarious that they were able to pull off a dominant W here.

Hali hate is hilarious.

Totally forget he was drafted by the Kings not the Pacers, Pacers didn't have a first round pick that year.

That was enjoyable after all of the Indy yapping and pounding chests. Welcome to the playoffs Indiana. ALL of the pressure is on you. Don't choke.

You guys do realize that Pacers are a young team and for some of their players, it is their first time experiencing the playoffs. So, what they are learning is that elimination games on the road is extremely hard.

Doc gets blasted for coming up short in the playoffs but he had his depleted team ready to play. Carlisle did not have his team ready. That's why he has a losing playoff record.

To quote myself from earlier today:

This was expected. The Bucks were never going to lay down and let us eliminate them in front of their home fans.

It's wild but untrue. It's the 1st time in a decade or so. But it's happened before. If it's too unbelievable, you probably shouldn't belive it.

Still impressive, shows the Bucks still have a respectable team outside their top 2, & also reflects what they've had to overcome this series.

Now the question is will 1 of Giannis/Dame be back for game 6? Will be very interesting if so

Hurt or not, it's hard to beat any team 4 in a row. Unless you are a really dominant team, and we are not.

Who ya got?
