Carlisle- “You’re up 7 at home? You’ve got to dig in and find a way.”

Tyrese Haliburton- “It’s frustrating. You want to win that game. That’s not how the cookie crumbled today. Take a shower. Watch film. And get ready for Game 5. For us to win, we’re gonna have to win one down there. I’m excited about the challenge.”

Hard to find words for that loss. Horrendous officiating, but the Pacers still blew it with their offense at the end. Most of us believe they needed that one to win the series, and that may prove to be true. But it would still be a mistake to count THIS team out. Best of 3.

Obviously gonna be very tough to win again in OKC.. but do you think there’s a better chance in a Game 5 or Game 7 there? Or is it about the same? Pacers don’t lose two in a row, but I think OKC would play tighter in a Game 7.

Not surprised to learn this was fake- youtube.com/watch?v=4yCS23…

Former Pacer Brandon Rush coaching his son’s team today. I caught up with him after the game and asked if the Pacers were going to win. “I hope so. They let one get away, but they’ve definitely got a shot.”

Said this on a few podcasts after Game 1: Pacers can probably win 2 of 3 at home in the series, and will have 3 more chances in OKC to win the title. It's still right there for the taking. Win Game 6. Win either Game 5 or Game 7. Major challenge. Major opportunity.

So… defense? Even a little of it?

Pacers only hope in this building is going off from 3. 3-for-8 isn’t even bad for the first quarter. But not enough.

I know they need some rebounding help.. but we really think Tony Bradley can guard this team? Jackson and Walker would sure be nice right about now.

That sequence for Chet sums it up.

There are 9 teams (including Indy) that would probably like a redo in the 2022 draft.

Pacers hanging around.

If the Pacers win this series, give McConnell the MVP. I’m only halfway kidding.

Short rest for McConnell, or is he actually gonna watch the rest of the game?

Cut it to 2, then back to back infuriating plays. Back to 7. Keep grinding, though.

Game 4 will haunt forever, unless the Pacers can win the next two games. They’ve got a few days to hopefully get Haliburton right. I still expect a Game 7, where anything can happen. This coaching staff has had a phenomenal year, but they need to take a long look at their
