The Pacers back in the days had a deadly homecourt support from the fans and the whole Indy 500 racing theme with the streaking sound effects of the Formula 1 race cars. That fueled the Pacers and really drew the Indy crowd into the game. Even me watching the game from across the country, I felt this adrenaline rush from Market Square Arena!!!1 The 90's were just an awesome era of basketball, never to be duplicated again. Just good times!!!!

factz...that Indy 500 car racing effect they used from 94 & 95 when the opponents had the ball was loud as hell and effective. I heard Shaq helped have it banned beginning in the 95-96 season as well as the Hornets buzz effect they used

Because post players can dribble just as good as wing players now, they can shoot and extend the floor as good as 3pt specialists from the 00s, and are athletic enough to become playmakers in 4v3/3v2 situations upon receiving passes out of the double team situations, the old version of "inside out" is obsolete. You might see that at youth levels, but even players who are "forward/center" builds at ages 14-15-16 are all playing out of the 3pt line because kids nowadays are so talented. The old school send a post-pass, wait for the strong side double team, and pass to the open player is too one-dimensional given the talent and skillset in basketball players today; AND modern defensive concepts are good enough in rotation to help the helper. Playing inside out today is no different than any uphill dribble handoffs or a post-post to the 3pt line and running a pick and roll right away off of that.

What a classic game and a thrilling finish this was. 4 consecutive clutch shots at the end. Capped off by Rik Smits hitting the shot at the buzzer to give Indiana the win. This is what made the NBA so much fun to watch back in the 90s.
