It Doesn't Matter If Giannis Comes Back, The Pacers Don't Fear The Deer
WE WANT THE SMOKE! I hope both Dame and Giannis are back tonight so the Bucks have no excuses tonight when they get eliminated from the playoffs. Buck's twitter has been a wild place this series with fans having a complete meltdown over the Pacers having the slightest bit of joy. Two things can be true ...
1. Your stars are hurt.
2. A playoff win is a win, enjoy it.
Meanwhile, Pacers twitter has been complete chaos by going into full blown panic mode after getting destroyed by the hospital bucks in Game 5. The Pacers are right where they should be. If you watched Indiana at all this season, this is what this immature team does. This is the first playoff series for most of the players on a young team, the games the Pacers lost are tough games no matter who is on the court. It's hard for any team to win 4 in a row, the healthy Celtics lost to the Heat without Jimmy Butler. Losses happen.

Game 1 (L) - First taste of the playoffs with a road game in Milwaukee
Game 2 (W) - Pacers bounce back and play their best game of the series
Game 3 (W) - Pacers hold on an to win in overtime despite Middleton going Nuclear, Haliburton misses a lot of shots but in the end with the game on the line hit the game winner.
Game 4 (W) - Not a great victory. If the Pacers don't hit a franchise record for 3's, Indiana loses a game even with Bobby Portis ejected.
Game 5 (L)- First taste of an elimination game on the road where the crowd is absolutely juiced. Nemby was in a blender. Milwaukee might love Bobby Portis more than any player on the roster and were ready to support their guy and keep the series going.
Game 6 - *See Game 1 and 2* The unexperienced Pacers now know what an elimination game is about and are back home where any team is more comfortable. Learn, adapt, get the win.
Oh, Milwaukee is louder than Indy during an elimination game? No shit, Doc. Wait till you hear the crowd in Indy during an elimination game. Indiana is basketball. Milwaukee didn't start caring about ball again until they won another championship. No bandwagon fans in Indy. Tonight you won't be able to hear whatever super star you put on the court bitch, cry, and complain to the refs that they aren't getting the whistle when Indiana is already picking up a foul if the Pacers so much as look at Dame.
I guaranteed a win before Game 2, and the Pacers followed through. I'm feeling great about the Pacers tonight. Nothing gets you refocused like a good old fashion ass whooping. Game 6 - Pacers win - BOOK IT.
