Alot of credit goes to Rick Carlisle
Coaches like Steve Kerr punt the game when down 15.
This is hilarious given GS popularized the modern-day comeback during this 3-pt era.

It's no surprise GS punted games when their three best guys are in their mid-30s and they have no playable depth. Expecting an old ass team like that, with all that mileage, with no depth, to drag back deficits is unrealistic. The Pacers have only had one playoff run together prior to this season so it's no surprise they're capable of doing shyt like this. Fast forward a decade from now and this group won't be doing the same thing.

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.
They keep doing it.

:wow:

:snoop: Is this some kind of fairy tale?

That Myles Turner 3 off the glass, that rushed Nesmith 3 towards the end, Obi Toppin hitting like four 3s in a row, Nembhard always turning into Prince in the Chappelle Show skit and of course Stephon Urkell cappin off the comeback at the end.
