IMO this will be a short series. Thunder in 5.

Maybe, maybe not ... but that's what a whole lotta people said about Cleveland, and they got carved up like Thanksgiving turkey.

Let's get to it!

As a general matter, I try to root for a team as opposed to root against a team. But I'll make an exception for the Pacers. My only hope is that the Thunder wins at the Fieldhouse in a massive blowout. And that Reggie Miller is courtside for it.

We Pacers fans wouldn’t want you to feel any different.

The Pacers own this sorry-ass organization so bad that the departed/very successful coach doesn't even get the lead image.

Dude just signed a deal last year -- on the payroll till 2028.

Makes no sense. There has to be something internal to the team going on that led to this.

Like a GM who's happy to push accountability onto someone else. Thibodeau got the most one could out of that roster. After that clown show on the streets of NYC after the Celtics series, I thought they'd build a statue.

I have no doubt Thunder will still win the series. Maybe it goes 6.

Give the Pacers credit for this win though, they even overcame several bad calls that went against them in the last 5 or 6 minutes.

I’m still in this camp - But the biggest difference after the first game is if Indiana wins I will not be surprised

Thunder looked great in Game 2. What's sad is that OKC is so effective at and celebrated for playing the kind of defense that should be fundamental to ALL basketball but just isn't today. It's '80s-'90s basketball without the blood.

Meanwhile, in Knicks land. Looks like PJ Carlesimo is going to get banned from the Garden.

I think James Dolan might be even less popular among Knicks fans than Reggie Miller.

The Pacers have earned my respect. Are they classy? No. Are they proud of not being classy? Yes.

But they've won when they needed to win.

What have they done that is "not classy"?
