Pacers in 6
meanwhile the Heat are getting massacred on national television
Keep hating
Pacers play no defense get real. bucks in 6….
Pacers in 6 A star is about to be born this series at Point guard
Home court isn't going to matter much, Indiana is basically next to Milwaukee
I smell a sweep coming courtesy of the Pacers
Used to remember Giannis surviving a hyperextended knee in 2021 playoffs to also end up winning the championship
Sucks this is a different case of a strained calf 😔
Giannis or not the Bucks are stills beating the Pacers and it’s going to 7 games. Without Giannis the Bucks still have Dame, playoff Middleton, and Lopez. Healthy Giannis the Bucks would beat the Pacers in 5
Hot Take: The Indiana Pacers will make to the Eastern Conference Finals
Pacers in 6
Stephen A just has not real analysis. He doesn’t consider that the Pacers haven’t played well recently. Halliburton has struggled since coming back from injury. Dame elevates in the play offs. Bucks have home court advantage. SAS just wants the hit take because there is never and accenting for EVERYTHING he gets wrong. ESPN not even trying anymore.
Exact same thing happen to KD, he came back in the finals after weeks of trying to recover then he tore his achilles in the first quarter. Giannis, please shut it down.
Cant wait for Jokic to win again and be called playoff mvp and league mvp and have 2 of these guys cry themselves to sleep.
Dame in 5
Nothing about Haney huh??? Yet cry and complain about Canelo
This man hates the bucks never says anything good please stop having him comment about the bucks
ESPN only hires posers
OKC 🎊
Perfect opportunity for the Pacers to get some playoff experience and build some more team chemistry. Sucks they don't have Benedict Mathurin 😕
Denver or Dallas are gonna own the Celtics in the finals
the suit is crazy af stephen a
I say rest giannis til the next series after bucks clean up the pacers. They dont need him for it.
Its not complicated just win your home games in front of your crowd and you advance and buy time for the freakshow .
Pacers are garbage Benedict ain’t even playing and besides Tyrese and siakam who they got
