The series was over even if we won this game but man PG choked. 

[HoosierAloha]

Harden is averaging 15 points per game from the FT line! What?!

It's time for changes. Fire McMillan, get rid of Monta and CJ, get Myles in the weight room, re-sign Teague and go get Hayward, Lopez and JJ Reddick. Your lineup consists of Teague, Hayward, PG, Myles and Lopez. Your bench consists of some unknown PG, Robinson, Reddick, Thad and Seraphin. That team should be able to compete in the East

Hayward's gonna go to Boston.

Pacers have to try to get him. I'm not completely convinced he would go to the Celtics over the Pacers. After all, he is from Brownsburg. Playing for the home state would have great appeal. And playing alongside PG could play a factor. And I forgot Lance in my lineup projections. If Hayward were to go to the Celtics, then Lance or Reddick could start in the backcourt alongside Teague. The other would come off the bench

Putting Myles at the 4 is a horrible idea. Dude can't defend on the perimeter.

Well he can't play the 5 if he doesn't put on weight. I think he will in due time but not next season. You have to build a contender for next season. A pretty good C in Brook Lopez would be good. And I really do want Gordon Hayward. The Celtics could have the inside track on him but I'm not completely convinced. After all, he's from Brownsburg. There would be some appeal to play for the home state team. And playing alongside PG couldn't hurt the chances either

Brook Lopez would be a horrible fit. Dude doesn't rebound, and dude doesn't defend. The roster is already stacked full of those guys, adding one more isn't going to fix anything. Hayward, Lopez is horrible.

It's way better than right now. You can't tell me if the Pacers got rid of Monta, CJ and Al Jefferson and added Hayward and Lopez that they wouldn't be infinitely better

Yeah, they would. It wouldn't be because Lopez, it would be because Hayward.

Well yeah Gordon Hayward is the crown jewel. He is a must get as far as I'm concerned

[LIHoosier]

Christ, Westbrook got a triple-double in the 1st half!

Oladipo is making hay of the few chances he's gotten and EG needs to just stay behind the arc; 3-6 behind, 1-6 inside.

[HoosierAloha]

Amazing 4 point play by Adams/Westbrook. Amazing boneheaded play on defense to follow that up.

[IUfan_Charlie]

I'd hate playing with Westbrook. Almost wish Oladipo wasn't stuck with him for 4 more years. 

[HoosierAloha]

Two handed shove in the chest to get open without a foul called.

Interesting and exciting finish to the game though.

[Hoosier Guy]

I've never seen such bad basketball 101 skills to end a game in my life

Really doubt he will be. Just a guess, but methinks Russ jumps ship (LA maybe?)

Russ destroyed that reporter in the postgame press conference today. 

[KingPG21]

The Anti-PG "Pacers fans" are one of the dumbest groups out there. Guy was great all series except one game and its cause the guy has no heart.

 

Oh and he isn't clutch in the slightest, as long as you ignore that he was fourth best in the league when it came to shooting in the clutch this year, minimum 100 attempts.
