Pacers 2023: Are the Pacers back?

[firecadet613]

Watching the Knicks kick the 76ers. Apparently game 4 in Philly had so many Knicks fans there, it was a Knicks takeover.

76ers ownership bought 2500 tickets off the secondary market for this game and gave them out to local first responders (digital tickets so they couldn't transfer them).

Reminds me of the floor seats I had for years at Conseco...the same Bulls fans drove down for every Bulls game and had the seats next to us...too funny but I was always "Team Captain" for that game and went out on center court with the wife for the coin toss. Had to hide that I was a Bulls fan and wear Pacers gear while I'd chat with Derrick Rose...

Game 2 should be good with both Reggie and Spike Lee there...

What station are you watching?

 

[indyblue]

It’s on tnt, I am at a local bar watching.

Wow, what an end of a quarter.

 

[firecadet613]

Under the leg and a slam dunk!

The officiating still sucks though, there’s arms flying everywhere and no calls against New York.

Yep.

“Home court advantage” I guess.

Horrible officiating.

Agreed. Turner didn’t foul.
The Oscar goes to DiVincenzo for a stellar flop.

If he keeps it up, he'll be Lebron 2.0...

No star player in the history of the NBA has ever pissed me off more than LeBron. Who else can take five steps to the basket and not get called for traveling? If they’re so good then the rules should apply as strictly as for anyone else.

On the bright side, it took several game changing referee calls, plus a half-court buzzer beater three, plus maybe the worst game of Hali’s career for them to BARELY beat us in their home court.

McConnell and Turner really stepped up though.

And 40+ points from Brunson for the 4th straight 40+ point game night in the playoffs.

Brunson played out of his mind.

Will be interesting to see how the officiating is tonight. The NBA came out and affirmed the kicked ball call was clearly wrong and the on court officials got it wrong. That one call was a 5 point swing in the game against the Pacers.

Yep, it swung the game in the Knicks favor...

I'll be at a 21st birthday dinner for my SIL this evening and have the game set to record. Now, if I can just stay off my phone before I watch it...

What seems like 5,000 years ago, I vaguely remember my 21st birthday. LOL

Enjoy your evening! Go Pacers!
