    Indy just suffers from "no superstar" syndrome. Same as the Clippers.

    I feel for Indiana. They've certainly tried as a small(er) market. They've fought. Had a few nice runs. Just not much to show for.

    2011-12: 42-24; Lost in Semifinals vs Heat

    2013-14: 56-26; Lost in Conference Finals vs Heat
    2014-15: 38-44; Lost PG to injury
    2015-16: 45-37; Lost in First Round vs Raptors
    2016-17: 42-40; Lost in First Round vs Cavs; PG requests trade

    Clippers won a game against the Champs on the road after a 31 pt deficit. Respectable feat.

    Thaddeus Young just missed a wide open layup and didn’t even hit rim.

    Dallas really sucked with Dirk and them injuries because wes matthews balling in Indy.

    Memphis was really terrible without z bo and company because tyreke Evans balling in Indy too.

    In the world of layups that is an airball.

    The Pacers are garbage. How can this team be a fourth seed? Jesus. The East sucks.

    Anyone think the Bucks can beat the Celtics?
    Why?
    I think if Kyrie is on and the Celts are not fighting. . . . .they win.

    I think the Celtics can win a couple of games because of their talent, but for some reason, their player chemistry just doesn’t work. Still not exactly sure why.

    lol, we’re at game 4, and this thread has only 4 pages

    this series and the Milwaukee-Detroit series just need to end

    I’ve watched about 2 minutes tops of that Milwaukee series...it shouldn’t even exist

    I saw a little bit of game 1 of this series, but haven’t seen any game action since...I don’t like watching Boston, and I can’t take Indy seriously

    I’ll watch some of Toronto-Orlando only because Orlando is at home and hasn’t been in the playoffs since 2012 so their fans are hype...it can make for a good playoff atmosphere...if the score starts to get out of hand in Toronto’s favor at any point in time tho, I’m turning that sh*t off real quick

    the EC playoffs don’t actually start until the 2nd round

    Hopefully Boston will give Bucks a good series.

    Who would have thought Boston would be the first team out of the gate with a sweep?

    Brad Stevens is only second to Pop.

    Come on, man.. Indiana sans VO would be swept by Texas Tech.

    I'm only kidding, but you get the idea. Indiana had no chance.

    The Pacers fought, but they were just outclassed. The team couldn't recover from losing their key player to injury.
