Thibs fired in NY. Hoping Hurley gets it and maybe new staff wants a shot at Mullins. 

Ain’t gonna happen.

Both parts? Because even if we had no shot at Mullins it would be nice to see Hurley leave.

Really fun Pacers article. Strictly gushy, but it’s incredibly fun to be rooting for a team that deserves being gushed over.

I don't see the Knicks taking a chance on a college coach. Their window is right now to get to the Finals so they'll probably go for a proven commodity like Malone or someone like that.

Have you considered it’s James Dolan?

Anybody looking for some 1st rate Pacers  X’s & O’s geekery before tonight needs to check out the great Caitlin Cooper with Zach Lowe previewing the series yesterday. Starts at about 29:00. Lowe is a really good basketball guy, I’m a fan, but Caitlin makes pretty much everyone sound like a basketball Neanderthal.

Today, for the first time that I've worked for this company (8 years), I'm wearing a Pacers hat, not my trusty  IU one. Guys in the shop are a little thrown off lol

Let's Go Pacers!

Refs certainly don’t want to run the risk of the players deciding this game 

Blatant travels/fouls ignored on OKC

Unwatchable product.

Been a huge Pacers fan since the ABA days but this Thunder defense is amazingly good. Pacers lucky to be only down 12.

Thunders are definitely the better team.  I just can't stand to watch NBA ball right now.....they could literally call a foul every possession.

Give up too soon?

Holy sh Carlyle and the P’s know how to make a comeback- wow

[KingPG21]

Unbelieveable 

[HoosierHoopster]

Honestly one of the greatest comebacks in playoff history

Love it! First lead with .3 seconds to go!

Love love love that Indiana won.  My comment on Oklahoma City being the better team wasn't about this game, just a comment in totality.  But you don't have to be the better team to win a series.

Sometimes it’s about mental toughness. We have a coach and a key player that have been there before
