And as expected the narrative today is the Pacers Lost the game and the C's didn't win it. The Pacers can hang with this team and win the series. The C's escaped. The C's are lucky to have won.
I just hope the team sees these headlines and come out and put Indy in their place with a blowout win Thursday. They need to make a statement and come out swinging and keep swinging until the game is over. The Pacers are a good team but the C's are a much better team. They need to dominate to shut the naysayers up.
Expected and unfortunate, but I've pretty much resigned to the fact that media narratives are largely driven to maintain interest in the matchups. If fans don't believe the Pacers can beat the Celtics, people aren't going to tune in to the games or read the various expert analysis articles, tweets, posts, TV postgame analysis, etc.
Quite possibly the wisest words ever spoken here and something I have to remind myself every time one of these guys p---es me off.
look who owns ESPN.
they put out fake news/agendas/propaganda for viewership.
no shocker. just ignore it.
the only fake title is lebrons COVID bubble title.
nobody will make me feel bad if we win it all. injuries are part of the game.
giannis was hurt last year, should denver get an asterisk since giannis could not even get out the semis?
all these media narratives are preposterous.
