If the Pacers win the title that will result in 3 of the 4 ABA teams that joined the NBA in 1976 will have won a title (San Antonio, Denver and Indiana) leaving only the New Jersey (now Brooklyn) Nets without an NBA title.
Damn - here ya go - whatever Indiana is doing to try to win a championship, the Eastern teams better learn from them - because whatever NY and Cleveland is doing ain't working!
And where is that other guy who was rooting for Boston been !!!???
"When they can't find anything wrong with you, they create it!"
i don't think that Indiana is doing anything out of the ordinary to have made it this far, they just matched up well with both Cleveland & NY in these playoffs and its possible that that may not be the case against the Wolves or Thunder if they move onto the Finals. This Indy core is still the same group that got swept by Boston at this time a year ago.
i don't see either Indy or NY touching the Thunder in the finals
hope i'm wrong for perk's sake, but right now they are firing on all cylinders and are extremely difficult to beat on their home court (43-7 on the season). the Pacers or Knicks will have to do it at least once, and if they give up one in their own house they'll have to do it twice.

good luck with that
I think OKC is such a force that it won't even be possible for me to hedge my bet really, only thing I can think of is just betting OKC each game or something IDK
If I get a cash out option for any positive money I might just do it.
I'd love to see Indy win their first championship but OKC's defense has been fantastic in these playoffs and will probably slowdown the Pacers ability to get out and score on the fastbreak, That was the real difference in the ECF other than the proverbial hitting your threes, NY never really found a way to slow down the Pacers offense.
That team goes as Tyrese Hailburton goes and if he's able to rack up 20+pts & 10+ast it likely means that the Pacers are scoring at a high clip. The Thunder have some dogs on defense that can take you completely off your game so it should make for a fun series. Either way, a long suffereing fanbase will finally see the Larry O'B trophy come home for once.

Indiana could improve its roster and coaching staff by adding:
Jimmy Chitwood to the roster; and
Gene Hackman and Dennis Hopper to the coaching staff.
Maybe even consider adding Bobby Knight to the coaching staff.
Does anyone think that the Knicks are cursed and will find a way to lose the ECF?
As for the WCF, unless Minnesota finds a way for someone other than Edwards to make some shots it seems that OKC will have a cake walk to the Finals.
As for the Timberwolves: I said earlier they might steal one game - right now it sure looks like that.............
"When they can't find anything wrong with you, they create it!"
thanks for playing Knicks
you had a nice season
you'll never be able to outrun a bad diet
Gave up the 1st half lead and let Indiana come back! Now they go back to Indiana? Lots of luck with that!
"When they can't find anything wrong with you, they create it!"
I'm officially rooting for Indiana to win it all
I got them at +750 and +900 to win the championship
Tough sledding if they make it and face OKC but it's the NBA where the impossible happens!!!

Coach sitting out Edwards for 7 minutes in the 4th? WTF??????
"When they can't find anything wrong with you, they create it!"
Well it seems to be futile - Wolves fans cheering in the first half - and then the second half they score 30 and OKC scores 70
"When they can't find anything wrong with you, they create it!"
OUCH - looks like this is the "Steal" game for the Wolves!
"When they can't find anything wrong with you, they create it!"
Minnesota reminding OKC that there are more games to play lol
Looks like it was Indiana’s turn to blow a 20pt lead on the way to losing at home.

And Indiana is quickly reminded that there are more games to be played in their series lol
Should be a good game tonight - if Indy goes up 3-1 it's over for the Kicks.
"When they can't find anything wrong with you, they create it!"
It seems the road is the better option for these teams, I really Hope Indy can clean up and win tonight
Good bounceback win for the Pacers.

Indy one win away just like OKC
Looks like the Timberwolves came into this game tonight with their bags already packed to go on vacation.
"When they can't find anything wrong with you, they create it!"
OKC on a rampage
i don't see either Indy or NY touching the Thunder in the finals

OKC is beastly
OKC vs Indiana
I think OKC wins the series in 5
I win $1000 if Indiana somehow finds a way to win lol
Go Pacers!!!!!!!!!

Should be interesting to watch if Indy will try to knock OKC around and intimidate them like they did to Cleveland.
