god i freaking love this team, all that talk about how bad our defense was, this game was needed, nesmith, brown, toppin, and mathurin all defended well!!
in other words, hali is a superstar and buddy is his splash brother!!
In-Season Tourney is a big ass W
I love how nuts the Pacers bench was going during those plays they sealed the game, immaculate vibes.
Rivalry ended with the Bucks and Sixers. I only fear the Magic and Pacers
Despite some flaws, Adam Silver has been a great commissioner. He managed to make the regular season so much more fun and competitive through the NBA Cup and play-ins. His vision is insane
Give me Kings vs Pacers IST finals
Tyrese Haliburton is a top 5 player in the NBA this season. You can argue with your favorite uncle about it
FUCK r/nba. I have rarely, if ever, chosen to watch the NBA over the NFL in December and I DO NOT REGRET FOR ONE SECOND.
This tournament is a massive win.
Buddy Hield just said fuck them and went for the 3 pointer at the buzzer
Hield was a +29 and Turner was a +22 in a 10 point win.
Tyrese Haliburthim
This Pacers team is fun to watch and the crowd was electric
it was fucking ELECTRIC in that building
also idc what yall say, i’ve liked the courts
the amount of switching the celtics do at times is a little unnecessary, that hield three at the end was all because of that, it’s not easy switching when you’ve just changed directions guarding your guy and now another player is running the other way and you gotta quickly change directions again and switch
I was iffy on an IST before the season started but man I’m loving it so far. I’d like to see a few revisions but I hope it’s here to stay
Also Haliburton is so much fun to watch holy shit
Pacers shot 47.3% from 3
Celtics shot 29.3% from 3
Yikes
TJ McConnell master class
The Pacers are so goddamn awesome
The East may unironically be fucked if the Pacers just learned they can play defense.
Hali looks less like an all-star and more like just a legit The Guy type player. He is sensational.
Tyrese is really that dude huh
Buddy Hield for president lmaooo
I’m sorry I doubted you Adam Silver, this is so fun
This did not feel like a regular Monday night game in December – the NBA is onto something with this tourney
That was a lot of fun
I’m guessing Haliburton and the Pacers will be getting more nationally televised games lol
I ain’t even mad about losing to Aaron Nesmith
Pacers are fun. GG
People were talking shit about the in-season tournament all year but this shit was so FUCKING HYPEEE!!
Get the Pacers more national televised games!
Hali is awesome, it’s time for for his flowers. Hope people recognize his superstardom this season.
[deleted]
This Pacers team is straight vibes. Rooting for em
Bruce Brown about to be the first player to win the championship and tournament in the same year!
“A coming of age moment for a rising team in the East”
inject this into my veins
Nesmith’s hate for the Celtics is so real, he’s got a fan in me
26 points, 10 rebounds, 13 assists, 0 turnovers
Haliburton. Is. That. Dude.
fun game, Tyrese is an animal and it’s great to see my man Nesmith thriving. congrats Indiana go win it
First team to win an IST game.
First team to clinch a QF birth
First team to win an IST elimination game
What’s left?
The most electric crowd I’ve EVER seen in an NBA game before April. Absolutely amazing to watch.
Nesmith was playing his heart out there!
This game is why anyone who watched football (soccer) knew this tournament would be fire. It has a competitive edge. I don’t know why old heads like Shaq keep hating on it. The magic of the cup!
The Indiana Pacers, behind Tyrese Haliburton, relied on their extensive playoff experience to snatch the W over a young, upstart Boston Celtics.
NBA fucked up putting semis and finals in Vegas. Home crowd was unreal
Man, I haven’t been this pissed off about Halliburton since George W. Bush was president.
Couple of thoughts:
– we need Porzingis, otherwise we are essentially last year’s team with way worse depth. I will pray for the health of this man like I’ve prayed for nobody ever before lmao
– I had no idea Indiana’s defense could step it up like that, and if it wasn’t for the IST I would never know. Can’t say enough positive things about the IST
– Happy for the Indiana fans who have suffered from mediocrity for a good amount of the last two decades with barely any high end talent coming via the draft and yet still finding a way to be a competitive, exciting team. Herb Simon is an underrated owner, seems like almost every GM/Coach that comes through Indiana is very sensible and clearly one of the best at their jobs. Hope they get that NBA Cup
Good to see Larry Birds favourite team won
Haliburton no longer just an all star he’s made the jump.
