    Is there any chance Al Horford comes back in the playoffs? Like, if the Hawks hypothetically reach the Finals?

    Pacers could've won this if they hadn't blown easy baskets during their run.

    Pacers go as the #1 team in the league to almost getting eliminated in the first round

    To the worst team in the playoffs, overall. AND that worst team didn't have their best player.

    Crazy.

    That would be a good trade for Indy. Not sure if Minny wouldn't rather find a cheaper option at C and roll with Gorgui Dieng as their main guy.

    I've never seen an elite team open up a can of quit after the all-star break quite like the Indiana Pacers have. Wow.

    Pacers have relied too much on talent and not on dong the small things to win games, much like the Rockets in their series. I think the Rockets have way more offensive talent and in today's NBA explosive offense will beat defense most days, hence why the Rockets are the better team.

    Pacers are too weak minded. Hibbert, Stephson and maybe even George lack that personality. West is the only mentally strong person on their team and he is relagated to being the 4th option for them.

    Is Miami the luckiest team ever? I wouldn't be shocked if they don't lose a game until the Finals

    "Arguable the Best Center in the League" -Most NBA "Analyst"

    What a joke Hibbert has been! I know the Hawks have player to take him out of the game but those averages are unacceptable. He should be dominating Millsap and Antic.

    Thank God we have Howard. He has been our most consistent and best player in this series. 27ppg, 14rpg, 2bpg
