Rondo's out indefinitely with a fractured thumb. Big loss for Chicago.

Lol, what? We've seen what Vogel does with teams with no defensive talent. He isn't able to get them to overachieve. I still don't get the Vogel love from some of the Pacers fans

Made them play defense regardless?

And do just as well as the current iteration of the team. They lost in the first round to a mediocre Raptors team last year. Biggest difference this year is they are playing one of the three title contenders in the first round.

That team was nowhere near as talented and it didn't get swept in embarrassing fashion.

I think PG is a great players but he doesn't have that killer instinct. I think he's a tier 2 guy. He would be the best sidekick in the league. He's good enough to get you within 1 point but that's about it.

It's interesting to watch which replays they choose to show.

Oh you mean like the "offensive foul" on Lance that they loved to replay. Then Love gets away with much worse against PG and they have no desire to show it. Or CJ Miles swiping up on LeBron, and LeBron going down like he got punched so they show it over and over, Teague gets hit in the face by Thompson on a rebound and they never bother to show the replay. Yeah, its hilarious

They do it in almost every game. That's why it's becoming more entertainment than basketball. NBE

Moreover, there was a Pacers player that stepped into the lane on bron's FT without anything called. It's like the refs are picking and choosing what they call. Did that red have the under for the half?

I know it doesn't matter. It when looking at the NBE thing wouldn't it make more sense to be NEA since it's more entertainment then basketball, and not more entertainment then association. Just something I keep thinking when I see that.

Going off WWE.. Wrestling Entertainment (Basketball Entertainment) at least that's what I think WWE stands for.

Yeah looking at like that it makes more sense. Maybe WBE.

Haha, that's classic.

A straight up mugging goes uncalled of course it does

[Hovadipo 62,087]

Another no call lol what a crock. NBA is a joke

[Hoosierfan2017 25,188]

Very competitive series. The Pacers have nothing to be ashamed of. 

[Brass Cannon 25,598]

And I will say it once again nothing Lebron does can be truly great till he does it 5 on 5
