Series Thread: 2019 NBA Playoffs First Round: Indiana Pacers vs. Boston Celtics

[Gman]

Y'all should take this Arvydas talk over to the Portland Trailblazers thread.

C’s pulling away. Can’t count on the state of Indiana for anything.

The NFL draft combine...

The NFL draft combine...

Good call. Lol

 

[Shanemansj13]

I overestimated the Pacers. If they had Oladipo this makes a huge difference, from 4 games to 7 games. Boston wins regardless imo

 

[The Derski]

Kyrie traveled like a mofo right there

 

[Shanemansj13]

Pretty much the thing Boston has going for them is they have the most clutch player in the NBA so close games can really go in their favor especially against lesser teams like Indiana

 

[Gman]

3-0 Boston.

Hopefully folks are still keeping track of how many quarters the Pacers have won, though... because that sh!t matters.

This series is over

One of the best big men of all-time is a HUGE stretch. Great player and one of the greatest passing big men of all-time. Short career bc of those nagging injuries too

short career in the NBA, yes. but the dude was playing ball since the mid 80's, played for what, 12 years? before he even came to portland.

 

[DJ Fieri]

He was basically a super-Jokic, but he was like everyone says, too old when he got here. Still pretty good even then.

Key contributor on those Portland teams.....hated them.

 

[LogicMan]

Niiiiiicccccceeeee

One more and the bucks are next

 

[flyerhawk]

The Pacers seem to have a crushing shooting outage for nearly an entire quarter in every game. They don't have anyone who can reliably drive to the rim.

 

[DJ Fieri]

C'mon Boston.

 

[tlance]

Indiana defintely won't win this series and they probably won't even get this game.

But much respect due. They compete and they play an unselfish brand of basketball. Whatever the eventual outcome, they deserve a lot of credit for how they have played this year.

 

[tlance]

Are they really calling that a flagrant?

That is awful.

Contact was harder than normal because both players were running full speed.

Joseph made a play on the ball. That should never be a flagrant foul when all the defender contacts is ball and wrist.

Welcome to the new nba

 

[DJ Fieri]

Happy for GH.

 

[RubinRock]

Taking the under this entire series has been easy money

 

[tlance]

Well, barring an epic collapse, this is about over.
