Half the battle of this series is strategically whining in game and in postgame conferences about the opponent’s physicality and ref advantage to get better calls next game. We were set to get a better whistle next game until Rick lost his shit and sent JJ to be physical now refs will fuck us early next game. This sounds like a shitpost but its not idk what he was thinking

I started investing more time in the pacers around 2018-2019. But I honestly always knew about the pacers growing up in Indiana. We would always get all the major sports teams mascots to come to our elementary school to talk about health, give away mini basketballs, and have a fun time. Some players I remember from past seasons are, oladipo, tj Warren, and sabonis.

As a European who supports both the Clippers and the Pacers, I notice that only one fanbase started to show up on my feed. (These post-elimination Posts are tough to see)

I wondered if there’s any funny Pacer fan accounts floating around?

My wife and I will be up in Indy Friday evening and would like to find a good place to watch the game at. Right now Kilroy’s is the plan. Where do other fans hang out at?

Hello all, I’d like to issue a formal apology on behalf of my and others hating on Tyrese ”Tyrese Haliburton” Haliburton. When I made those comments those didn’t reflect who I was as a person, and moving forward I would like to address and move on with Haliburton love in my heart. It was hard seeing Dame get bested in a rivalry with somebody younger than him, however I reflected and realized this unfortunately is how life goes. Will be rooting for the Pacers.

Good wishes.

We don’t have alot of history or beef with this modern Cavs team what will the chants be at gainbridge if we win game 3 do we just chant we want Brunson or Boston?

gave me even more appreciation for what Ty has done in these playoffs. Dude is cold!

My wife and I were watching the game last night as we usually do. Before we were together I don't think she even knew who the Pacers were, now she is a diehard. She comes from sports science and medicine. She watches these games through a different lens. I'm watching it through pure hatred, joy and sorrow. Last night during the third quarter, through my raised blood pressure and nagging desire to turn off the television, my wife announces very casually that the Pacers have the Cavs where they want them. I dismissed her comments thinking "what does SHE know?".

The Pacers go on to win and she doesn't seem surprised at all. She has watched them all year with me and has such a quiet confidence in games predicting the win. She oddly enough also knows if we are going to lose as well. After Tyrese pulls off a Reggie Miller esque shot, I scream, cover my mouth with my shirt and fall over are ottoman in disbelief. She looks at me and says "see?".

She noticed that Rick plays our bench and leaves them in ignoring all of our pleas and shouts to the TV to put the starters back in. She said that this is intentional and it exahausts the other team. I knew that, I've always known that, but I'm times of despair I don't think logically. The Cavs were absolutely gassed last night in the 4th. People are saying that the Cavs gave it away but did they? It seems to me this is their entire plan to start with. It's calculated and bold. The Pacers Rope-a-Dope. This lead us into the conversation about injuries on other teams.

The narrative has been Pacers only win because the other teams are injured. Outside of Lillard, which they were not winning with him regardless. This season everyone has been pretty much healthy outside of Garland, which has been claimed the Cavs are better without. So why are we getting this narrative once again? My wife in all of her knowledge ran down what happens to muscles that are forced to operate outside of their conditioning. The Pacers forcing teams to move faster, twist their bodies suddenly for the block attempt on the quick transition, constant added stress from the slight uptick endurance usage. This all leads to injury. We've seen this last year with the Knicks. Them not having a bench and Thibs being forced to play the starters matched with the Pacers unusually high pace of play, broke them.

My last bit will be the claims of Pacers having no star power and no one that can individually, consistently score 30+ points. I believe Haliburton, Siakam, Turner, and Nembhard are all very capable of this. Rick runs this as a team and doesn't want ISO hero ball. He wants Indiana basketball that to us reflects Bobby Knight. Our team operates on the firm awareness that we have multiple people who can score at will therefore we do not need to have an entire team revolve around one player. Hopefully the Pacers can go all the way soon, maybe in the next few years or maybe this year! My hopes are our style of basketball evolves the NBA to not focus on one person being the source of 40% of the teams points. Everyone is saying how much fun the Pacers are to watch, that is because we play the game as a team.

Random stuff I’ve found on IG. Thought it was cool

is there shirts for all playoff games? Do we know if game 4 will have one?

Per vegas odds. OKC still the favorite but I'm not sure I've ever seen us this high in recent history. Pacers need to go for the kill on the Cavs. The time is now.

I became a fan after this game when he is not playing the Pacers. Not only cause he was unstoppable and played an amazing game. He quieted the crowd when fans were yelling “overrated”, he’s playing through injury, and most of all he didn’t whine like his coach postgame. After having a monster night he said he should have boxed out Nesmith. I just thought it was super classy and competitive.

Cavs fans that feel sucky, at least you got a good cat there.

No way after an emotional loss like that they come back to OUR home floor and win a game or 2 I don’t see them winning any game they messed up bad by letting us win those two games in Cleveland Pacers are sweeping the Cavs.

Personally I'd say

1. Reggie

2. McGinnis

3. Daniels

4. PG

5. JO

6. Tyrese Haliburton

7. Roger Brown

So #6 all time, #4 if excluding the ABA

... Davis seems to hate home teams. Over the last several years, road teams are winning 60% of the playoff games led by Davis, which is obviously alarming.

I get all the ECF & Finals plans/fantasies, I get the excitement, but the series isn't over yet.

We beat the Knicks last year after being down 0-2. The circumstances were different, but the point remains. We're playing the best-record team in the East and we still have to beat them two more times, and that's no easy task.

Stay humble guys. And go Pacers!

I mean TNT is cool but why not give US the 2:30 ABC spot?! Nobody wanna watch that GSW vs Wolves without their man stars!

I live in Australia and have never been to a game but I live and breathe this team and want to fly over and watch a game or two. I’m asking for advice in regard to the best site to purchase tickets. Out of pure superstition, I will not mention exactly what I’m looking at but the tickets are expensive and so I want to make sure I get the best deal. So far I think seatgeek is the best option? Especially considering the clear outlining of getting a refund should the games not happen. Any help would be appreciated. Best hotels or apartments in Indy would also be of great use. Go Pacers.

Any idea if and what kind (color/verbiage) of t-shirts the Pacers might give away at tomorrow’s home game? Go Pacers!!

Are we gonna embrace the Overrated chants Cleveland gave us. Like when Brock Purdy became Mr Relevant, are we gonna nickname Tyrese, Mr Overrated? I think we should.

IM STILL HARD

THAT DUNK WAS ENOURMOUS FOR OUR RUN LATE IN THAT GAME.

HUGE MOMENT THAT IS FORGOTTEN WITH TYS GAME WINNER
