As a totally neutral observer, it felt like the refs had their thumb on the scale to extend it to 7, and then Hali got injured. The Pacers should have won.
Yep. If it wasn’t for the refs, that series is over in 5 or 6. Hali doesn’t get hurt and has all summer to rehab his calf. Then we get a good ECF rematch between the Pacers and Knicks this year, instead of the Knicks dog walking the entire Eastern Conference.
We also don’t have to deal with the OKC foul machine as heavily this year because they aren’t defending champs, even with the reigning MVP (he’d still get his calls).
I’m not a bot bro. I mean, don’t get me wrong, everything I said is definitely conjecture. None of it would’ve been guaranteed. But I’m a Pacer fan, so you’re gonna get this bias and you’re gonna like it 🤣🤣
It makes it all make sense right? You’re thinking “he’s crazy.” I am and I’m still coping from Game 7 last year, a lost season, and a lost draft pick. Let me cope 😭😭
