What happened to all the people who said Indiana had a chance?

Several picks for the Pacers in this thread. Including me.

You were the only poster to pick the Pacers before my post.

I know I was. I was just clueing you in people picked the Pacers. You made your post two hours after the thread was created. Give it time!

On the good side after I called out Masked Embiid for his awful take on the Pacers/Knicks series he said there's no way the Pacers win against the Thunder and if they do win he'll leave ISH.

Pacers don't turn it over, they shoot well from 3, they are deep, and have one of the best coaches in the league.

Wolves played into OKCs strengths by being a dumb, high turnover team.

The Pacers are a smart team and were red hot for the last part of the season as well, they've been an elite team for several months now.

Based on what we've seen from both teams - this series should be a toss up.

I'll take OKC in 7.

Thursday night game 1 is a disgrace. This league soft. Teams don’t need that much time. Game 1 should be Tuesday. NBA acting like the finals is the Super Bowl. Then look at the game day spreads hahahaa Thursday then Sunday????? You’re literally ALREADY in OKC!

What schedule would you prefer?

I literally said it game 1 should be Tuesday.

But here you go since you want the full layout…

Game 2 Thursday. Game 3 Sunday afternoon Game 4 Tuesday. Game 5 Thursday Game 6 Saturday afternoon Game 7 Monday night

Simple.

Why do you want Game 1 Tuesday versus Thursday? You just don't want to wait or some other reason?

Because it’s pointless to wait 5 days. Both teams have momentum. The extended time off doesn’t help that. Why wouldn’t anyone not want to play sooner than later? There’s literally no valid reason for Game 1 to be Thursday then game 2 IN OKC to be Sunday. Why are you ok with this schedule?

Why are you ok with this schedule?

I never said I was. I was just curious of your thinking about it. Thanks.

Its actually good that theyres a long layoff. Nuggets and Warriors lost because of shit rest scheduling and key players got hurt. Want to see both teams play as fresh and healthy as can be.

Agreed. Thunder in 7. An exciting matchup of offense and defense.

ya'll are crazy if you think the pacers can extend this to 7 games. the disparity in the talent gap is more than just significant. okc is just better in all regards. pacers are good enough to stave off a blow out 4 game sweep, but 7 games? nah LOL. and i'm a Hali fan and would much rather prefer indy wins the ship this year over okc.
