[NBA] East Finals

Every team has them now.

Doesn’t make them feel any better.

Yeh I’m just enjoying the games instead of living and dying by ever game and possession. I feel more stable haha

this has been a entertaining series to watch, despite three losses for the Pacers. With that said, way too many injuries to big name players this postseason. I wonder if the pace of the game has something to do with this because I don't remember in my two decades plus worth of NBA viewing that I've seen this many

 

[Kingz19]

After all the non intentional hard contact/or hard landings we saw called for dogcrap flagrants throughout the season..probably the hardest foul and landing I’ve seen this season does not rise to the level of a flagrant?

Nembhard has been going off

Celtics break out the brooms

 

[SLAB]

It was over after Game 1.
A young and severely out/talented team can’t overcome that gut punch.

I applaud the Pacers for competing in all their games in this series. I can see a team throwing big money at Nembhard and give him a starting role

 

[pdxKingsFan]

Nembhard won't be a free agent until 2026 unless the Pacers decline the option on his 4th year. Pacers will have more interesting decisions to make before he comes up.

Yeah, this is pretty much where I am at right now as well. I wouldn't be surprised if Boston wins in 4, but I always like to give the lower seed at least a game.

I, too, predicted Celtics in 5. But you won't find me losing my mind if they do it in 4.

I should've known better than to give the Pacers a game.

To be fair the Celtics tried to give them 2 or 3.

The Celtics may have tried to give the Pacers a game or two (or three). The Pacers, however, DEFINITELY gave the Celtics AT LEAST one.

Is it my imagination, or does it feel like this thread has been rather less hot take-y than the second round thread?

There hasn't really been much to hot take with this. Pacers wilted in the clutch of 3 games, the team with the star player out lost, the "best team on paper" won ... probably the most boring conference finals series in recent history? Even the Nuggets sweeping the Lakers last year was more exciting.

Fixed it for you. You're welcome.
