Again, the Pacers are not a serious basketball team.

Indiana plays too tight. Their half court offense just isn’t good enough. They should be running after every basket.

Bernman wrote:The Bucks are underrated w/out Giannis, when it counts. Lopez is the all-time leading scorer for the Nets, who can play in the post when those other guys are out. Midds is a star playoff performer, but he's further hobbled. It's helped the Pacers get separation.


I do agree with this part, by the way. Lopez is still a terrific scorer and Middleton knows how to elevate his game in the playoffs.

The state of Indiana is going to be forced to legalize weed if the Pacers continue to be responsible for all of our anxiety attacks
Once they have that golden shining moment and it comes to them in a dream or whatever and they understand that, that's when this team and this franchise will go to another level from where it was when I was here.

Bucks really have too much offensive talent and too little guard defense. They could probably trade some of that talent for defense to better balance their squad.

Imagine if Milwaukee wins this game, Giannis/Dame come back in Game 6, they win in 7, and are healthy going into the next round.

Not the first two games version of ourselves. Prob lose @ MIL and Indy's offense is way better. Would be a fun series with Indy though
