2025 Playoffs Chat & Chill Thread

It's kind of crazy that Indy might be headed to it's second conference finals in a row with a team that is just kind of ok. They have have benefited from so many opponent injuries in the playoffs the past two years, but I think we are also seeing that their style of basketball is just difficult to deal with for a full series.

I remember it was a big deal when they fired McMillan who was a good coach, but just couldn't get them out of the first round after having decent teams for a long time. They eventually hired Carlisle, have had about the same regular season records as when McMillan has been coaching, but have had way more playoff success.

I don't really know or think there is anything to take away here. It's just interesting.

Indiana doing well heals my soul.

I still remember the days of watching Rick Smith, Chris Mullens, Marc Jackson… and the pinstripe uni, playing serious no nonsense basketball. That team made it to the Finals iirc.

They’re like the Jazz of the East.

Those were the days.

That memory is fading, it was Rick Smits.

Losing in 5 to a team you were heavily favored over is a franchise altering disappointment.

Fingers crossed the Cavs get smoked and make some risky moves in the off-season.

Mitchell will become known as the Franchise Killer. The all-star that will get you the #1 seed then bring your franchise crashing to the ground.

He'll end up in LA. The league will make sure of it, and LeBron will get one more run at a ring to end his career with Giannis and Luka.

Nico will get fired by DAL, hired by MIL, then another coffee date with Pelinka and they’ll get Giannis there in no time!
