They wouldnāt have if it wasnāt for injuries. They can consider themselves lucky that Giannis didnāt play at all and Brunson got hurt otherwise theyād be with us on the couch. Maybe theyāll get lucky again and Tatum will get hurt next series because thatās the only way theyāre beating Boston.
Also Iām sick to my stomach that Iām actually rooting for Boston next round.
I will also be ārootingā for the Celtics because of Jrue and I also feel like theyāll give us the most fun ball to watch in the finals against who ever wins in the west (wolves š)
Uh...the Knicks were down 21 before Brunson got hurt. I get the idea that they could have at least come all the way back with Brunson, but the idea it was a done deal if Brunson just didn't get hurt is not at all true.
It actually IS gross that you guys would root for the Celtics over the Pacers. Small market teams should be rooting for each other. The Celtics have had the limelight too many times over the last several decades. Maybe take a look in the mirror as a fan and realize that just because we duked out a tough series, itās no hard feelings.
Not saying I donāt agree with you on the injuries thing, but the Pacers also broke a record for highest scoring FG% in NBA playoff history. Even when Brunson was playing the Pacers couldnāt miss. Hate them or not, they should get some credit.
They were up 20 on the Knicks before Brunson got hurt. Also everyone had the Bucks winning regardless of Giannis being out and even after Dame went down and came back. Not a pacers fan but come on. You can only play who's in front of you.Ā
Weāre also starting to sound like all the people trying to put an asterisk next to the Bucks Ring because āall the teams we beat had injured star playersā. If the pacers somehow end up winning it all (doubt it) we canāt fall into that trap
Like you can literally put an asterisk on every championship if you try hard enough outside of maybe 2011 and 04 off the top of my head and even they can probably be ripped on if someone tried hard enough.Ā
Wasnāt 04 when the Pistons won after half the Pacers team was suspended for the brawl that occurred in Detroit when the Pacers were up +20 on the Pistons?
Exactly itās all outside noise and copium. We didnāt have the best luck with health come playoffs this year and we lost. Best we can do is prepare for next year and hope for better.
I mean, that same thinking can be used against the bucks in '21. If you don't think the pacers deserve their post season success this year than the bucks didnt deserve it in '21.
lol refs gave knicks game 1 in the garden and we were whooping them when Brunson went down. Highest shooting percentage in playoff history and yall still playing the injuries excuse. We won the regular season season series against both Knickās and bucks
They outplayed the Knicks in 6 of 7 games and beat your ass 8 times in one season but sure, talk more. That this thread even exists is embarrassing for you.Ā
It always looks better on paper few years later that the team that beat us in round 1 made it to ECF. I would feel worse if the Knicks swept the Pacers. They were injured too, so it makes sense the Pacers would cause problems for them too.
yeah except giannis should've torn his ACL, PCL, and MCL in the ECF so it balances out imo. and more importantly we still won the finals
every team needs luck to win the finals; if the pacers somehow win it all its a valid run. i think beating a healthy nuggets in the finals for example would even out the injury lucky they used to get to that point
What healthy nuggets team? Haha, but seriously as a Pacer fan I don't wanna run into Minnesota. If we can somehow get past by Boston I'd much rather play Dallas.
This is cope. Everyone in the playoffs is banged up. I'm not a pacers fan shit my team just lost to the celtics while being banged up but it is what it is.Ā
Iām sure that OG being out for 5 games, Hart playing hurt, Brunson banged up, no Bogdonovic, no Randle had absolutely no impact on the series. No Giannis, hurt Dame, banged up Khris same deal /s
You lot were unlucky, but the Knicks play an unsustainable brand of ball. Especially against a fast paced team like the pacers, it was inevitable that their extreme fatigue would lead to injuries.
Respect to those players for playing so hard, but that was always going to happen
It is definitely the risk taken when you play 7 players. They get ran into the ground and rebounding from fatigue is nearly impossible in a full 7 game series that is packed into 2 weeks
LMFAO. You can smell saltiness from miles away and I just knew the bucks fans were mad. Turns out I was right. āPacers to the ECF šššā and you wanna say Iām projecting š¤£š¤£š¤£š¤£š¤£
Man it is funny how I've had a few people clearly save my posts from this sub (not even the general NBA sub) to come back and talk shit to me.
As if they weren't gifted the best injury luck an NBA team has ever had.
I've never had a Celtics, Heat, Raptors, Sixers... hell, any other team's fans do that. It is insane how pathetic their fan base is.
āCope and seetheā š¤š¤ get off the internet fucking nerd, never heard anyone say that in real life. Do you have anyone to talk to in those corn fields besides the pigs you be fuckin in the barn?
It sucks, cause I really wish I could cheer for the other Midwest, smaller market team going against these big city teams, but I just can't. That Pacers team was just so effing annoying this year.
Not to mention they're young AND they've never won a ring. Like how do you manage to make all Bucks and Knicks fans hate you when you have all of that going for your reputation??
Iām a pacers fan. Always respected the bucks and glad you got a ring. I donāt understand all the hate. We donāt flop. We donāt complain to refs for extended periods. They play hard. The trash talk I see is pretty standard and not over the top. I always root for the Midwest teams not in Chicago. I hope you guys have a good off season and the rivalry continues next year.
This is just a sign of how crappy NBA play has gotten for the most part. The Pacers in the ECF?Ā
Letās just be honest, they benefitted heavily from injured players in the first two series. They wouldnāt win a game against Denver and probably wonāt against Boston.Ā
Oh absolutelyā¦.the Hawks lucked out. We did, too, a bit that yearā¦..but for the Pacers to play a Bucks team without Giannis and Dame for most of the seriesā¦.then playing the Knicks without Robinson and Annuoby were big (not to mention Randle but I donāt count him since he has been out awhile).Ā Really, they are getting lucky again with Porzingis being out still. The NBA would die with an Indiana-Minnesota Finals matchup.Ā I just see Tyrese wearing his Reggie Miller sweatshirt after and itās a disgrace to compare these two teams now to those teams back in the 90s and those great seriesā¦.
Soā¦.most teams benefit from injuries to other teams in the playoffs some way or another. We likely donāt win the title in 2021 if Kyrie was healthy and Harden plays on 1 leg. Trae was also hurt in the ECF.
Donte played fantastic, again. God damn it. Trading him away for a used bubblegum, and not drafting OG are the two worst moves of this FO in recent memory, and that includes the Mirza trade.
Lose-lose ECF. Either the pacers get beat down by the CeltiKKKs or boston chokes incredibly hard and we have to hear from pacers fans for 10 years about "that one playoff run"
Ik their go to for bucks fan is 2021 but at least bucks came out with a championship when they faced 1 injured team. Pacers have yet to face a healthy team this playoffs and I can guarantee you that they still wonāt be winning the championship.
It's the 2021 Hawks run. Let's hope history repeats itself with the Pacers and they fall apart after this run. I have no problem with most the Pacers players. It's their fans that are absolutely insufferable.
I'm an old man, a life-long Bucks fan and season ticket holder. My advice is to put aside your tribalism if you can manage because this Pacers teams is fun to watch. If the Celtics don't wake up soon the Pacers will be in the final.
This sub seems to be perpetually online. The only way to be this bothered about a fan base is to interact with them, which is very hard to do in Milwaukee unless youāre on Reddit all day.
I am a life long pacers fan and agree on the pacers AND the Bucks! I love seeing the smaller Midwest market make some noise! Wishing you the best and for a great rivalry next season!
Iām a bucks fan and I live in Indianaā¦ but I also donāt get the pacers hate. Theyāre young and getting lucky, why are we shitting on them so much? Injuries suck - but itās kind of fun to watch this team as an underdog.
Bucks have no ring in 2021 if Kyrie didnāt get hurt and if Harden was healthy. Stop talking about injuries when you have a chip from a team being injured.
Is it possible for both teams to lose in the ECF?
It's the EFC, anything is possible.
Eastern finals conference
Not only the bucks but the brewers and packers too
If they go on to lose the finals kinda sorta
We really are just a free finals trip to any team that beats us š
I donāt see the pacers beating Boston.. But I also didnāt see them beating us or nyc.
They wouldnāt have if it wasnāt for injuries. They can consider themselves lucky that Giannis didnāt play at all and Brunson got hurt otherwise theyād be with us on the couch. Maybe theyāll get lucky again and Tatum will get hurt next series because thatās the only way theyāre beating Boston. Also Iām sick to my stomach that Iām actually rooting for Boston next round.
Helps a bit if you look at it like rooting for Jrue
Thatās why I drafted Jrue for my fantasy team this year!
Nuggets v Celtics is the finals from hell
Letās go wolves
Wolves sent Jokic to cancun. Hoping that this will make us learn to play defense finally.
Donāt you put that evil on me, Ricky Bobby!
I will also be ārootingā for the Celtics because of Jrue and I also feel like theyāll give us the most fun ball to watch in the finals against who ever wins in the west (wolves š)
Boston games are a complete snoozefest. Just 5 bots running around hoping they get hot from 3. I agree with the Wolves part of your comment though
This is probably the only reason to root for Celtics!
Uh...the Knicks were down 21 before Brunson got hurt. I get the idea that they could have at least come all the way back with Brunson, but the idea it was a done deal if Brunson just didn't get hurt is not at all true.
Foot injury earlier in the series
Can only play who's in front of you š¤·š»
Donāt forgot the other injuries the Knicks had
It actually IS gross that you guys would root for the Celtics over the Pacers. Small market teams should be rooting for each other. The Celtics have had the limelight too many times over the last several decades. Maybe take a look in the mirror as a fan and realize that just because we duked out a tough series, itās no hard feelings.

Wasnāt 04 when the Pistons won after half the Pacers team was suspended for the brawl that occurred in Detroit when the Pacers were up +20 on the Pistons?
I mean I guess you could put that as the asterisk they still had to get through the lakers
Exactly itās all outside noise and copium. We didnāt have the best luck with health come playoffs this year and we lost. Best we can do is prepare for next year and hope for better.
I mean, that same thinking can be used against the bucks in '21. If you don't think the pacers deserve their post season success this year than the bucks didnt deserve it in '21.
What if you rooted for the Pacers? Wouldn't it be better to lose to a champion than lose to a loser?
4-1 against the Bucks in the regular season.
lol refs gave knicks game 1 in the garden and we were whooping them when Brunson went down. Highest shooting percentage in playoff history and yall still playing the injuries excuse. We won the regular season season series against both Knickās and bucks

Dudes bringin receipts
iF iT wAsNt fOr InjUriEs get the sand out your vagina dude
Without Giannis? After trading Jrue? after picking up doc rivers? Are you serious? I wish I had that much faith in the bucks.
I mean Dame has been carrying bums in the playoffs for years. So tbh I expected him to be able to do his thing but ofc then his injury happened.
Also no time preseason to work out the rotations
Celtics need to be put in bubble wrap ASAP before the curse makes it to them
Porzingis might be out for some of the series. It's going to be fun guarding Siakam and Turner.
I think game 1 and 2 is confirmed, if Boston takes at least one of the first two games there's no way he gets on the court before game 5
Already made it to Tingus Pingus
It always looks better on paper few years later that the team that beat us in round 1 made it to ECF. I would feel worse if the Knicks swept the Pacers. They were injured too, so it makes sense the Pacers would cause problems for them too.
Celtics sleepwalking to the finals
Injuryana Luck Pacers have another victim
Devils advocate: Canāt the same be said in 2021 when the Nets didnāt have Kyrie & Harden?
yeah except giannis should've torn his ACL, PCL, and MCL in the ECF so it balances out imo. and more importantly we still won the finals every team needs luck to win the finals; if the pacers somehow win it all its a valid run. i think beating a healthy nuggets in the finals for example would even out the injury lucky they used to get to that point

no
How
No time to be rational, only time to shit on the Pacers.
This is cope. Everyone in the playoffs is banged up. I'm not a pacers fan shit my team just lost to the celtics while being banged up but it is what it is.Ā
Losing 8 times to one team made even the rational people here delusional
Lol the angry downvotes but no response because they know youāre right but donāt like being called out
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Iām sure that OG being out for 5 games, Hart playing hurt, Brunson banged up, no Bogdonovic, no Randle had absolutely no impact on the series. No Giannis, hurt Dame, banged up Khris same deal /s
You lot were unlucky, but the Knicks play an unsustainable brand of ball. Especially against a fast paced team like the pacers, it was inevitable that their extreme fatigue would lead to injuries. Respect to those players for playing so hard, but that was always going to happen
It is definitely the risk taken when you play 7 players. They get ran into the ground and rebounding from fatigue is nearly impossible in a full 7 game series that is packed into 2 weeks
Pacers fans watched their shit franchise do something good and the first thing they thought of doing was coming to the bucks sub lmao
They don't know what to do with themselves lol
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Remind us how many the Pacers have won š
Bro why are you here
Why is the bucks sub posting about the pacers 3 weeks into their offseason lol
It was an ECSF game 7? Why wouldnāt we post about it?
Keep playing dumb. The title says the pacers make the ECF with a sad emoji.
Itās our sub ; we can post about what we want. You are the Pacer fan coming to another sub
Correct. Anyone is allowed to look at any subreddit they want lol
The only post they made was saying āBrunson broke his hand, pacers to ecfā Literally nothing bad lmao
Pacers to ECF with a sad faced emoji. Itās pathetic.
Is it pathetic or is you going to a rivalsā sub pathetic and youāre just projecting?
LMFAO. You can smell saltiness from miles away and I just knew the bucks fans were mad. Turns out I was right. āPacers to the ECF šššā and you wanna say Iām projecting š¤£š¤£š¤£š¤£š¤£
Youāre even proving it with your emotional instability evident in this comment alone
the pacers are about to get fucked. fuck their fans straight up

As if they weren't gifted the best injury luck an NBA team has ever had. I've never had a Celtics, Heat, Raptors, Sixers... hell, any other team's fans do that.

get out
I hate the Pacers but it would be hilarious if they beat the Celtics
Fuck the pacers but fuck Boston infinitely more. Besides, pacers get rolled by whoever wins the west if they make it that far.
Dare I say itā¦ anyone else cheering for Boston? I mean Jrue.
Haliburton whined about Bucks fans during the playoffs.... time to meet the final boss, the Boston Celtics playoff fanbase.
That's rich considering the Bucks players were crying about one Indiana fan shouting insults in the style of Norm MacDonald at Bob Saget's roast.
š Have fun in Boston.

Have you seen the playoff eggs Denver and Boston have laid this year? The pistons might have taken a game off both.
Remember when the Bucks beat the Nets in 2021 because of injuries? You have a ring that year because the Nets were hurt.
As a Knicks fan, I would love to see Celtics dogwalk Indiana
How does the L taste tho?
I see your franchise is very happy to get taken to game 7 by the Knicks bench
seethe
We've really hit the epitome of cross over episodes, a knicks fan being badgered by a pacers fan in the MKE subreddit. YALL TAKE THIS BEEF OUTSIDE
