This has been one of the best postseasons in recent years. Everything is fucking intense and competitive

Cavs and Thunder both lose games they had a stranglehold on with free throw craziness and last-second 3s for the lead

This series might be a sweep, the Cavs are an excellent team, but I don’t know how they can mentally recover from this.

NBA writers cooking a masterpiece. Apology for Celtics winning last year

These playoffs rule man!!! Adam Silver ¹²⁄₂₅

The craziest second round of games I can remember to date. Absolutely wild.

1 seeds choking is so hot right now

Pacers Wolves final, fuck it

[deleted]

CHAOS!!! PURE MAXIMUM CHAOS!!!

See???? It can happen to ANYONE

Literally the polar opposite of last year’s ECF lol

I honestly think not being able to close a single game vs Boston last year was a huge learning moment for this team. They have been locked in in tight games all year

that inbound defense they have is crazy

Down 20 in both games

Pacers are 6-1 in the playoffs since Haliburton was voted as the most overrated player in the NBA.

This is worse. We were just up 3 and Denver had the ball. Cavs were up 3 WITH THE BALL.

It’s a partial choke, partial exhaustion. The cavs looked so fucking tired in the 4th quarter. Get Mitchell some help, good lord. 

2 seconds after an all time shot: “I’m still in shock!”

Elite announcing. 

A Cleveland sports special

At least your coach didn’t foul twice with 13 seconds left.

Top seeds hate this one trick

The fact the Pacers has had multiple late game ridiculous comebacks in the regular season and playoffs is just insanity. Couldn’t believe it when he got the rebound, and to be able to hit that. Wow.

Losing games is the new cool

This has to be one of the craziest playoffs ever, right? Like every game comes down to the wire and has some kind of last-second theatrics going on. And we’re only starting the second round

First seeds throwing away a lead in the last few seconds and losing to a game winner

It’s the wave now

Most overrated player though according to some random voters

Playoff Pacers are clutch now, we are all fucked

ITS FRICKING CHOKELAND

What the hellyburton

#CAVS TRIED TO PLAY UNETHICAL BALL AND PAID

BEST FUCKING PLAYOFFS IN YEARS IS WHAT

WHAT ARE THESE GAMES BRO

On pace to be the best playoffs of all time

THIS IS THE PLAYOFFS BABY!

¹⁄₁₄, doesn’t have foot speed to separate from any of the Pacers guard defenders to receive an inbounds pass.

Someone needs to tell him that it’s worth infinitely more points if the ball actually goes through the hoop.

¹⁄₁₄ holy shit

He’s a bench player trying to play like an all star

He shouldn’t be taking 20 shots 

Spent like the last 20 games of the season practicing for this

That was the biggest problem last year. Pacers are never out of a game now.

The last month of clutch finishes for Indiana has been unbelievable. It’s been happening since the last ~10 games of the regular season.

He’s so clutch dude.

HEY DAME! HE IS OVERRATED THO

I don’t know how they managed to outchoke those guys

Because he invented basketball

And the foul that sent Tyrese to the line was also horeshit

Edit: But they also missed a clear flagrant on Mitchell 

I just want Tony brothers out of the nba 

Tony brothers is the worst ref in the league for 20 years straight yet still gets playoff games.

Dude was just about at the free throws line before the ball was released

missed call but also the cavs shouldn’t have blown a lead that big to be in that position anyways

The L2M report on this game may be a complete mess

I noticed that too, I think Tony Brothers and the rest of the refs straightup forgot that was a rule lmao

So many mistakes in that last minute.

Yeah it was a lane violation but that was nasty

Tony Brothers

let the delusion consume you. say nothing but “cavs winning 4 straight” until mathematically impossible

Yeah that fucking hurt

The big criticism last year was that Carlisle doesn’t do well adjusting in the clutch, I’d say Pacers are doing amazing this year in the clutch.

Celtics fans have been relentlessly talking this team up for a year. I’m glad the world is catching up. The Pacers are fucking terrifying.

Pacers are playoff beasts

Honestly this is all I can think of

Watching the Pacers have those ECF leads and throwing them away last minute hurt

This is slow redemption

If we get to the next round I’d agree with that.

If we go to the finals than it’s no question.

If we win it all Hali is getting his name in the rafters.

Shows up in big moments and his teammates don’t seem to actively dislike him like they did with PG

Chill yo. PG13 got within 2 games of the finals twice. Hali has a way to go. He’s on the right track but PG13 played against prime LeBron and held his own. Before his gruesome leg injury he was on pace to be one of the best in the league.

Edit: see below comment. 1 win away from finals in 2013 and 2 wins away in 2014.

nEXT TO WYOMING BUT NOT ALL THE WAY TO NEW YORK

Just follow the corn 🌽 🏎️🏀

#’#1 in Clutch Net Rtg this season, right ahead of #2 Cleveland.

Getting a little played out at this point tbh

It’s mental. Teams that have been doing it and did it last year are rising. 

They keep playing hard when the other team is gassed. Crazy conditioning and drive

Unironically the closest sweep I’ve ever seen

Last year could’ve gone 4-0 on Pacers’ favor. That team was the scariest. Looking like they’ve gotten better this year.

Dmitch was right when he was signaling the crowd to simmer down the overrated chants 😂
