    After that historically dumb TO by Stephenson, the Pacers better hold on.

    This Wizards loss feels a lot like most of the Rockets losses in the Blazers series

    Pacers v. Heat as we all thought. All the drama for nothing.

    Why not ? They win they deserve to win. They lost to heat in ECF in 7 games last year. I want to see the matchup again . Don't hate , appreciate PG and winning basketball

    Deserve.. what a load of ****. The team that wins 4 games in each series deserves to move on. They beat the Hawks, and they're about to beat the Wizards. There's no rule that says they had to sweep the Hawks or something. And if you recall, the Hawks took the Celtics to 7 games before the Celts won the championship in 2008. I really don't give a crap about them, to be honest- b/c they're not going to win it all- but that's why they play these games. If they beat the Wizards in 5 games, they certainly "deserve" to be in the ECF. And if they beat the Heat, they certainly deserve to be in the NBA Finals. And if they win it all, then they earned the championship, fair and square. If you're good enough to win 4 playoff series, even if 3 of those are in the East, you deserve the trophy.

    And that will especially be true when the Rockets win it all in the next 4-5 years.

    Um yes they do, Paul George took over this game and won it for them.

    Looking like a Heat-Pacers ECF. That will be a great series.

    Rockets fans need to be stop being jealous cuz their team couldn't get past first round . PG is a beast and the Pacers are doing big things just like last year and prior seasons.

    Damn I really thought Wall was going to have a breakout game, after 3 straight ordinary to subpar performance. Guess thats what i get for placing my money and trust in washington. =(

    So much for Trevor Ariza being "Paul George kryptonite."

    At least, the Rockets were playing a worthy opponent...54 wins. Indiana got outplayed by Atlanta and slip through the cracks. And are winning this series, because Washington is incompetence. I doubt the Pacers could beat Phoenix, much less Portland in a series.

    I didn't give them credit after last game because of how awful Washington was, but I'm convinced that the Pacers are back to normal now, or at least pretty damn close. Sure, Washington may have choked a bit this game, but the Pacers (especially PG) also TOOK IT from them. It's gonna be a very tough series for Miami (if they beat Brooklyn) next round.

    However, I don't believe Indi has any chance whatsoever against any team left in the West (Portland doesn't count).

    Once the team got their personal locker room issues resolved , the team is doing great.
