Dame is a go. Freak is out

Seems like Indiana should close it out tonight then.

Honestly I'd say this even if Giannis is still out Game 7. Bucks are 2-1 at home against the Pacers and the Pacers are still a young/slightly inexperienced postseason squad. Don't think their chances are great for a road Game 7. We'll see. It's a lot easier if they just win tonight

I think Mitchell and Garland would give Boston some issues. Think I would rather play the Magic with their lack of 3 point shooting.

Why? we have some of the best defensive backcourt players in the league. Isn't the bigger issue Horford trying to contend with both Allen any Mobley (or Kornet I guess).
I agree.  Jrue and Derrick will make it tough on any team's guards.  However Allen is dealing with bruised ribs so I expect a few subtle forearms into those ribs by Al will slow Allen down.

I will take it. Will be good to go sleep before midnight… Getting up for work 6 hours later is starting to take its toll. Lol.

At some point you have to blame the performance on the court on the players on the court. Every loss is not the coach's fault and every win isn't because of the players.

Yeah, starting the central time zone game at 6:30 is really weird.  They want the Knicks-Philly game to be watchable on the West Coast, I guess.

The Pacers haven’t looked good in this series. Playing timid and like they’ve been trying to dribble out a lead for most of it.

Big 3s from Hali to tide things a bit.

Pacers need to play with pace (pun intended). That's how they've won their games this series, can't just play slow and timid and hope things come for them

And look at that, pace picks up and the Pacers go on a 19-6 run  ;D

I would call it a season for Dame and Freak.  Wouldn’t want to turn their minor injuries into something requiring surgery by playing them too soon.  I d just play the rest of the club and let them take the Bucks far as they can and call it good.

Is that the same guy that kept yelling at Bobby Portis too?  That guy is almost as loud as the announcers in the game audio.  TNT needs to fix that.  Haha

Yep, haha. Believe he was yelling, “Portis, your eyes are too big for your head!”  :laugh:
