Siakam Spins & The Cs Grin: Official Pacers (#6) vs. Celtics (#1) Eastern Conference Finals Thread

[Soldier]

This year's East is worse than any LeBron year. I would kill to have 1-16 seeding.

In the nba/nhl, the 1-16 seeding format will never happen because travel costs would be very expensive

Convenience and travel costs.

 

[Mr. Jack Napier]

I hope the Cs sweep these fraudulent bums. Sh*t was sweet taking out a hobbled Knicks team.

I didnt see the 4th. Hali got injured?

Jaylen Brown haters right now:

No he’s still overrated, he will never be the go-to scorer of this team, he will never be a Batman/#1 scoring option, Jayson Tatum will ALWAYS be much more better than him !!!!!!

We have to stop acting like this is the first second third or fourth time a team had an “easy” road to the Finals.

Where was this energy when the Nuggets didn’t play a single team that won more than 45 games in the playoffs last year?

Where was this energy when the Warriors got a cupcake path to the Finals in 2022 playing the Nuggets without Murray & MPJ, Grizzlies without Ja for half the series and a Mavs that was clearly in over their heads in the WCF?

What about the 2021 Suns playing the Lakers who lost AD during the series, Nuggets without Murray and Clippers without Kawhi?

It is what it is. You play who’s in front of you, survive and advance

People only play the “easy” road to the Finals card when it isn’t their team involved. Otherwise they don’t want to hear it and juelz if you bring up the same talking points that they’re using now about it.

So basically the Pacers are gonna be like random conference finals teams like the 2007 Jazz, 2013 Grizzlies, 2019 Blazers, 2021 Hawks, 2023 Lakers etc

We literally said this all last year with the nuggets because it was basically unprecedented to go a whole playoff run without beating a 50 win team(outside of lockout or covid shortened seasons)

The 2021 Suns is a horrible example CP3 hurt his shoulder and couldn't shoot the entire Laker series. CP3 also got covid and missed the first 2 games of the Clipper series and Cam Johnson also missed game of that series. In the Finals CP3 played with a hurt hand , Booker with a bad hamstring and the Suns lost their backup big in the first game of the series.

JB>Ty Hali. He should've made the All NBA team and was out to prove it tonight.

Series is over and KP won't have to see action for another week.

 

[Weaver31]

Pacers protected home court in this year's playoffs....let's see if they can continue this.

I'm thinking Celtics gonna get a game there and win in 5.

 

[Damnshow]

Man get these fukking pacers the fukk outta here the atlanta hawks 2021 all over again. If not for Siakam going off, this would have been minny denver game 6 bad.

Jaylen with no all NBA reward for the year pushed him for 40.


These fools quit in the 2nd half real quick. It's hilarious, NBA should investigate the Pacers. I knew game 1 malfunction would fukk up their morale, but didn't know it would be this bad.

 

[Phantum]

I knew this bytch ass nikka was faking. Game 1 he dribbles off his foot and somehow started grabbing his hamstring


This dude soft as shyt
