Stephen Jackson: The Pacers could have won the 2005 NBA title, we let Reggie Miller down

[UpAndComing]

I remember when they handed out all of those suspensions. First thing in my mind was that Reggie Miller won't be able to get a title


Also remember there were reports that he wanted to join the Big 3 Celtics in 2007, when at the time he already retired. He wanted a title that badly

They weren't beating San Antonio that year. Miami was better as well

 

[UpAndComing]

They would have beaten both

 

[AlbertPullhoez]

They would have beaten both

They weren't fukking with Tim/Tony/Manu or Wade/Shaq.

shyt the Suns were a better team,, so was Dallas. Pacers weren't guaranteed to win shyt

 

[42 Monks]

stephen jackson is just inherently delusional in every regard

 

[GOAT]

The last time that team was whole they blew out the defending champs on their home floor to the point where Ben Wallace lost his cool

In 05 they woulda gave the Heat work you’re tripping

They was blowing them nikkas out by 20 on the home court before the malice and Pistons handled the east easy

U can’t tell me they weren’t title contenders that year

 

[Devil Plisken…CMS]

They had a lot going for them

Pistons did not handle the East easy.

Miami took them to 7 in the Conference Finals and likely win that series if Wade isn't banged up

Indiana isn't beating Miami

Pacers ceiling was the ECF they weren't winning no title and if they did make the Finals they were getting washed by whoever came out the West

 

[HollywoodP]

Nobody can really say definitively if they wouldn't have or would have. They def had a chance...and they def fumbled that chance.

 

[NoMorePie]

He only saying that because Tony Parker on the spurs and he hates his guts

 

[Rick Fox at UNC]

Nothing worse than a person saying what they "could have done" 20 years ago.

Could have, would have, should have.

But you didn't.

I disagree but I feel u

Artest strapping Wade and changing that whole series

 

[Sccit]

PACERS COULDA WON FOR SURE

NEEDED ARTEST

 

[CHICAGO]

INDY WERE DEFINITELY
THE FAVORITES OUT THE EAST THAT YEAR
