Lakers also look pretty legit threatening when they're healthy. LeBron is defeating Father Time.

I think Indiana will win for no particular reason other than I would much prefer it.

So the Pacers did the same thing to the Bucks that they did to the Celtics. At some point, people have to start taking this Pacers team seriously as a legit threat in the East.

It is funny how similar our game vs Indy was vs the Bucks game vs Indy.   Tyrese just with daggers, and he is stepping up exactly when he needs to.

Maybe just maybe it shows we shouldn't overreact to single game losses. It happens to everyone

So you're saying Indy will be the champs?

Haliburton is playing like a boss.  I'm really fascinated to see how the season goes for them.  Is he and the Pacers truly ready or are they going to pull a Cavs and lose in the 1st round to the Knicks?  Most guys need time and experience to really set the world on fire in the playoffs.  Be interesting to see how that plays out.

Tyrese is an awesome basketball player. He is the rare lead guard that doesn't just pound the rock for assists. He keeps the ball moving. He makes the proper read within seconds, but has the elite touch to thread the needle on almost every pass. Plus his shot is lightning quick. I think he is a great player. When he is on the court, Indy is definitely one of the top 5 teams in the East. It may take time, and they may have to consolidate some of their younger players into a proper running mate, but the future should be bright in Indy.

So you're saying we shouldn't have an existential crisis because the Celtics aren't somehow already 82-0?

Oh yes, no question, I just don't know how serious a playoff threat they actually are

Yeah I agree. I feel like they are one borderline allstar or better player away from being in that upper echelon.

NBA won't let that happen. They don't want a tiny market team like Indy win a championship. They want to add another accolade to Lebron's resume- the Mickey Mouse Las Vegas championship. And Lakers fans can gloat they're better than the Celtics in terms of banner counts as they'd have 18 with this December championship  ;D

Nothing wrong with that. If a coach needs to be called out, then it needs to be called out. Sometimes a message needs to be sent out clearly for them to comprehend and acknowledge.
