I stop being a fan when they lost to the warriors (bro they lost to one player Steph was the only superstar level player in the warriors by far and the everyone not name Steph played horrendous except for one good game from Wiggins). I always do this comparison with them that year the Celtics remind me of the 2018 rockets that almost beat the warriors. Bro that year imagine the rockets made it and lost to lebron.

They didn't choke. Boston just closed them down. To be safe against Boston, you have to be up 30

[@jctslice]

I think this could actually be good for the Pacers. You have to feel the pain and know what it's like to lose painfully as a young team before you can win big. This reminds me a little of what happened in 2011 to OKC against Dallas. OKC was actually leading in multiple of those games and was hanging around, but the way more seasoned Mavs closed the games and beat OKC in 5. That's sort of what I see happening here. Pacers will win a desparation Game 4, but go down in 5

If the pacers was supposed to be up 2-1 then the Pacers would be up 2-1 but they’re not because they didn’t win BECAUSE The Celtics is the better team. Period. It’s more than shooting 3’s . Y’all so worried about Jayson shooting 3’s and not paying attention to all the other plays he makes defensively to secure our W. You all forget that our coach(the youngest coach in the league) Joe Mazzula is brilliant and the pacers were out coached. We executed Joes plays perfectly especially when down. And that’s why we’re up 3-0. We’re doing in the playoffs what we’ve done all season. WINNING! Forget what the team did last season because IT’S DIFFERENT HERE!

How should they be up 2-1? Game 1 they should have won, but Indy did everything right in game 3 and lost. At worst it should be 1-2 for Indy. There is no set of circumstances that would've guaranteed a different outcome in game 3. Nothing they could've done different against that defense.
