T Bryant’s 3’s were fun — 

Gotta like 2 well-liked former Hoosiers both playing well, against each other in a Conference Finals and in Indiana— OG had a strong game himself. 

Thomas Bryant playing real mins in a conf finals closer is nuts. Carlisle is crazy. 
 

Also, when they said it’s been exactly 25 years, I started to feel really old. I remember going to those Finals with my dad.

The first Pacers season I watched was 2004 that team was fun to watch.

Time for Carlisle to out coach the other team en route to another MVP finals. 
 

Saw something where Carlisle and Siakim are the only guys with finals experience. Not sure if it’s true but if so need to ride that advantage.

Caruso played quite a bit for the Lakers bubble title team. TB technically is an NBA champion too (Denver) and logged 0:29 in the Finals lol.

What a game! My wife and I watched it at Upstairs pub with our daughter, who just got into basketball through the Pacers this year and is now hooked! The place was packed and electric. Quite a few members of the football team were there, like Fisher and Sarratt. Plus, it was fun to celebrate the win with some of my former IU students, who happened to be there. What a great night!

Malice in the Palace probably ruined their best chance at a title. Different era but those guys were tough.

OKC coach is very well regarded young guy. Be tough to out coach him to the extent the Pacers need, but Carlisle is one of the best for sure. Always thought one of Birds few big mistakes was getting rid of him the first time.

All the kids at school the next day after Malice wanted to talk about just that part of the game.
