Great series so far, the playoffs have been really, really entertaining, even in series that are 3-1. And who knows if Morant doesn't go down if memphis holds their game 3 lead and makes that a 2-1 series with a fully healthy team and a home game Saturday.

Bittersweet to see the Pacers take the 3-1 lead with Dame going down. I love Giannis and Dame but gotta pull for Haliburton with the Kings mired in misery.

They're looking good so far! And they'll get some nice rest if they close things out tonight.

Huge close out by Indiana last night, though bittersweet seeing Haliburton hit that game winning layup haha

I was happy to see the Pistons push the series to game 6 in Detroit. Let's see if the Rockets and Lakers can do the same. Hopefully they can make the series competitive

It's crazy that the Pacers/Bucks have now played 20 games in 2 seasons. A lot of animosity there. Happy that Haliburton (of all people) closed it out. Cleveland is gonna be tough!

Great patch! I'm really looking forward to the Indy/Cleveland series. Hope it's a good one regardless of outcome, but man Cleveland seems like a juggernaut right.

Congratulations to the Pacers; in the end it was a pretty convincing series win.

I did though have to laugh at Halliburton's Dad. The proverb 'with age comes maturity' seemed to have slipped his mind at the end of the game! :lol: But I thought Giannis & his son handled the matter perfectly afterwards. I can just imagine Haliburton Jr meeting up with his father later and just rolling his eyes at him; with his Dad simply replying 'Sorry about that son. I think this is probably one of those do as say not as I do moments!"

Yeah I wish all that hadn't happened because it's overshadowed an amazing ending to a great game. Hopefully Sr. has learned his lesson...

It sucks that one person on Blowout has made me root against the Pacers and one player in particular. I don't recall the last time I rooted against a player - maybe Melo.

Anyway, let's go Knicks.

You serious? Well I disagree. I've had him on Ignore List almost immediately after he first appeared. But I can't seem to avoid seeing his words as quoted text.

Good luck to Indiana! Even I feel the game 7 intensity, can’t imagine being a fan of one of the teams.

Haha I get your POV and he’s certainly delusional, but he just has a passion for cards that I don’t feel exists all that much anymore, which is nice to see.

Man, what a gut punch. You hate to see anyone rupture the achilles, and you hate to see such an incredible series end that way. Real damper man.
