God I wish this game wasn’t on ESPN
Let’s shock the world.
Let’s shock the world. It’s gonna take everything
I’m incredibly happy just to be here this early in this group’s timeline. They are getting invaluable experience for the next few years when we make continuous deep runs. Boston’s defense is going to be tough to beat but I like our bench better.
2 ECF home games and the Indy 500 all in 3 days this weekend. Incredible time for the city.
With all that being said. Pacers in 7. Let’s goooooo!
Gonna be a tough series and extra tough game 1 with the quick turnaround against a well-rested Celtics team. Gotta try to capitalize with KP out. Celtics have a lot of guys they can throw on Tyrese so everybody else is going to have to step up big.
Pacers in 4
These Pacers took the trash out when they played trash teams so far. Time to go to the curb once again. Fuck Boston — Pacers in 4
High chance that Roy is going to have 0 rebounds in this game. How the hell are we gonna win an ECF game like that?
Wait, 20**24**!?
Going to be a tough series. They are the better team.
Cers in 4
Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown, Jay-Z, it don’t matter. Pacers in 5.
Need to run Horford out of the gym
Go Pacers!
The media coverage is all about Celtics. It is a great situation for us. When people are so fixated on easy wins, the opposite happens.
This is house money in my eyes. This team has exceeded my expectations. Whatever happens from here I’m good. This squad has all my love.
Of course I want to win but knocking the goofy ass Knicks out of the playoffs and stopping that jerk session has satisfied my little heart.
the good news is i get to dust off an old meme from the SDC 😏

I can’t believe I’m watching an Indiana Pacers ECF game tonight
LET’S GOOOOOOOOOOOO
They have a better starting 5, they have home court, they won’t underestimate us because of the IST, they’re rested…this is going to be a tough one, but I think we have to win this game to have a shot in this series. Winning 4 out of the next 6 would be a tall task.
We aren’t here very often so might as well win!
Anyone know if espn 2 has a different broadcast?
Whoever wins this series gets to keep Larry Bird
Good Luck Pacers,you guys have a really likeable team that fight hard and are full hustle players,rather play you guys then the Knicks.Thank you for sending that bum divincenzo to Cancun.See yall tonight
If we can snag one of 2 at Boston we go home happy
PAVE
Cers in 7 if we can rebound and get to the line
Let’s beat the vajayjay twins!
