That being a common foul is crazy

Pacers playing 9 guys over 15mins each. Good depth

According to the experts on this board they were going to get swept or possibly win a game if they got lucky.

Time to start planning ahead to the championship parade.

Rick Carlisle has absolutely pantsed Mark Dagnabbit or whatever his name is so far this series.

Carlisle is underrated. Really good coach.

Carlisle is underrated. Really good coach.

I think it's well known that he's elite. Just out of the limelight because he's in Indy

I love this Pacers team. Fun to watch their fight and comrodery. They never give up. Good for them to be the first team to 2 wins. 2 more to go. Go Pacers!

Pacers win made me tear up inside.

They play with so much heart.

All of the national basketball podcasts I've listened to have severely underestimated Indy. Even after winning game one, a lot of people were saying OKC in 5. Indy has so many guys that can score the basketball, it's just hard to have a game plan, because you don't know who is going to go off on a given night.

Last night Indy played like it was a finals game and OKC played like it was a regular season game.

This looks like a 7 game series and I'm all for it.

If OKC loses the series I wonder if they make any drastic moves to improve the roster.

I doubt it.

I doubt it.

They can get Giannis

I've seen this commentary a few times and have to agree that OKC looked tired in the fourth quarter. This was noticeable because I don't really remember them looking tired before.

Almost felt like a ***** in the armor. They aren't used to being outworked.

Improve? I thought this group was supposed to be the absolute pinnacle of NBA teambuilding.

I applaud your prediction of a Pacer's finals victory. You should quote your prediction you made before the series started that the Pacers would win it all and bask in the glory!

They will undoubtedly take a hard look at why they lost and make some adjustments, no doubt. But I would wager it would be more on the fringe looking at depth more than any kind of overhaul. But I would seriously doubt they just stand pat if they lose this series.
