They're helping rewrite conventional thinking about what type of team can win a championship, so that's pretty cool.

Whether they got this way by accident or design, it's hard to take it seriously yet they keep on doing what they do to the point where you have to recognize it.

The problem with the Pacers is that they can run you up and down the court and force you to play their game. They are able to score in bunches at anytime and point and force you to play at their pace which the Knicks can do for maybe 3 and a half quarters but unless you slow them down they will eventually just overwhelm you.

They are already in the conference finals up a game........

Talking about let's wait and see. They are obviously good. Only one team will be a champion.

I give the Pacers as good of a chance as anybody.
The only reason I dont think they'll win the LOB is because of how poor defensively they are. They still could lose this series, because they give up just as many points as they score...

If they thru this one, Minnesota and Oklahoma present different challenges defensively that would put this run and gun shyt to the test. If those teams lean on Indiana defensively, I have no evidence that Indy's defense is good enough to keep them in the game vs those opponents...

I really like this team though and I feel like their multi-year ceiling is higher than New York's is!

I think they're the most poised, the most balanced, and perhaps the LEAST stubborn. And you can't forget about some insane luck.

The also play from behind every almost every game, so they aren't the best team. but they have remained focused and keep playing until the end. Unlike some other teams.

I'm not with the hyperbole, but they don't need to win a championship to be classified as one of the greatest clutch teams ever.

The amount of improbable comebacks they've had this postseason already has them in the mix. No other team in recent memory has been able to overcome near-death situations like they have. Their extremism of luck will eventually run out, so it'll all be dependent on everything else they can do to either further progress in this series and if they get that far, win the Finals.

It's pure hoops cinema, regardless.

I gotta say it’s been one of the most entertaining playoff runs I’ve ever witnessed and I hope if they do make it to the Finals that they’ve got enough of that shyt bottled up for one last series.

We haven’t had a contender seemingly come out of nowhere for a minute now.

Miami made the finals twice in the last 5 years (once as an 8 seed).
