Why not? giannis is out and dame misses this game. Pacers are fully healthy.... the pacers should win this series with giannis being out.
I meant before the series started I never expected them to go up 3-1
Without Dame (and Giannis) I fully expected them to win this game
Tru but the bucks are a completely diffrent team without giannis. And we knew before the series he was gonna miss a big chuck of round 1. This should have been a Pacers series win.
I woukd say if they win in 5 thags a bit surprising. But I think the bucks can push this to atleast 6 and then at that point maybe giannis comes back. Will be intresting, but may be a little to late like last year when they brought him bCk for game 4 & 5 but the heat had all the momentum at that point.
GO MAGIC

Indy owns the Bucks. Combine that with all the injuries? This series is done

You have to think the Bucks won't bother bringing Giannis back for the series at all at this point(or maybe even Dame).

Feel bad for Giannis. Wonder if he comes back in game 5. He has to.

Middleton only went to the locker room momentarily. He played 40 out of a potential 48 minutes, the most out of any member of the Milwaukee Bucks.
He was hobbled, yes, and clearly not 100% but he still played and put up a commendable performance along with Lopez.

Totally agree, they aren't the same without Giannis, that's why I had the Pacers in 7
But I still expected Dame to go off against them and win the Bucks a couple games by himself. The Pacers don't have the best defensive team so I wasn't sure how they'd fare. Of course I wasn't expecting Dame to go down, which is unfortunate for Bucks fans

They couldnt guard them w/ Giannis either. Their defense is obviously better w/ him but he isnt a transformative anchor like Ad, Bam, Rudy or anything.
Pacers had 126, 128, 126, 122, 142 in 5 games against them, went 4-1 and Giannis played all 5 games. Only game they won was when Giannis had a career high 64 Bucks werent stopping **** even w/ Giannis
Pacers had brights too light syndrome 1st half of game 1 where they couldnt hit ****. After that half the rest of the series has been the same story as the Rs matchups

Sucks watching Connaughton and Crowder running up and down the court 30 minutes a game doing absolutely nothing.

Myles Turner is one of the most underrated players in the entire league. Indy could be poised for a deep playoff run.

Cant believe the Bucks gave up two 2nd round picks for Crowder.

It was initially FIVE second round picks plus George Hill, Ibaka and Nwora. He was worth maybe one of the picks. Then we re-signed him in free agency.
