Congrats to Jack and Zuman..Boston will have a lot of work to do. But no rivalry. Friendly match.

Well, I won't be saying Halliburton should assert himself in the next series.

Record shooting night by the Pacers , outside shots is they key, C''s problems is now compounded by an opponent with great outside shooting.

Thanks! In Hoosierland we're just enjoying this ride, especially as this team is all about youth and exuberance. But it's nice to have a little vindication after this sort of thing...

Yes, a vindication, and winning Game 7 on the road is a great feat in itself. I felt after the first 2 games, the Pacers can win the series. It's just a time when they are ALL confident to take shots. And again, I respect Carlisle a lot. Claim to fame obviously is leading Dirk, Kidd, Terry and Barea to beat Wade, LeBron and Bosh.

Hooooooooooooosierssssssss!!!!!!!

I realized only from the show during the All-Star break that Bird, Reggie and Isiah Thomas had deep Indiana roots. So Boston had 'donated' Bird, Carlisle, Neismith to the Pacers.

I didn't see the live game and I heard Stephen A guaranteed his attendance in MSG. He had been pumped up a day before the game. His theatrics will follow in ESPN First Take soon.

It's going to be a track meet Phil!!!!

I hope NYC keeps Thibs. Many of his players have proven they can be trusted with minutes and he will surely respond. Valiant run Knickerbockers, hats off to you all you. Certified bada$$es. Mad, Mad Respect.

Are you guys watching the Denver-Wolves game

Wolves were down 20 and suddenly its a 61-57 Nuggets lead

I agree but then again Tibbs runs his players like D'Antoni did and long minutes can result in injuries

 

[Zuman]

I agree that Thibs is a great coach and a genuinely good guy under that gruff surface. But I do wonder if the speed, violence, and general wear-and-tear of today's NBA means that he'll have to finally change his approach and develop a system that utilizes subs more.

Yes. Close now

 

[steve williams]

End of 3rd Denver 67-66

Precisely my point. When D'Antoni coached the Lakers they all went 48 minutes. He shortened Kobe's career IMO

 

[jadis]

And wow! Anthony nails a huge 3!

 

[steve williams]

So it comes down to the final. 12 minutes.

 

[steve williams]

There is one thing for sure and we all knew it.....these have been the most entertaining playoffs I can remember in many a year

 

[steve williams]

watching the replays, Denver has the experience but the Wolves are young, fast and very good. Win or lose this series has been packed with surprise , for example Wolves now lead 68-67
