Predix:

Celtics in 6
Twolves in 5

Twolves > Celtics in 7, continuing the pattern of first franchise championships, where Phoenix continues the pattern next year.

Indy might be one of the stupidest teams I've ever seen, yet their offense is so good they can hang around with anyone.

I think the Pacers don't realize that turning it over 7 times in 10 possessions is a bad thing

Personally I think it's a bad sign for Boston, even though they won this game. I don't believe they can hang with Indiana if they play this way the rest of the series. Of course, they may not be able to play this way again either.

Boston will be just fine, they wont' shoot 33% from 3 all series. Holding the pacers to under 120 in regulation will be good enough to win them most of the games.

Yeah but this was a legendary choke job. Two stops up three with less than 30 seconds on the clock and they turned it over both times. Has to be very demoralizing

I doubt it, it's game one and they won. It'd be demoralizing if they let it slip but they didn't, they won.

No championship contender would get demoralized after a game 1 loss.

I don't know if last night means much going forward. Indiana can win multiple games this series and their plan seems to be "score 120 points and see what happens" and I don't see that changing.

With last night and some of the regular season games, I think Boston sees they can't hold a lead against Indiana. I imagine the plan is to keep up with them and then really grind it out in the fourth.

Sam Hauser's hard screen on McConnell really screwed that dude up - turnovers, misses, fouls, missed FT, etc.

This. The following teams still won the NBA Championship after losing game 1 in the finals...

1998 Bulls
2001 Lakers
2006 Heat
2011 Mavericks
2012 AND 2013 Heat
2016 Cavaliers
2021 Bucks
2022 Warriors

Obviously a small number and I only started looking from 96 and onward, but the point stands

I wonder what happens to the Inside the NBA crew now that TNT won't have NBA rights anymore. I think Ernie Johnson said he's staying on with Turner regardless.

But now that it's back on NBC, we can bring back this jam:

luka may have ended this series if the wolves don't score in the last 3 seconds

edit: yep. wolves really let this get away. closed the 1st half really badly (should have been up like 20 at half instead of 10 or 12 or whatever it was) and let the mavs back in

Yeah, Draymond ruins the show. If they're hellbent on having him on in the postseason, the show just becomes the usual sports brainrot I can get anywhere else.

VC is boring but he doesn't really ruin the show. He's just like a sleepy Kenny, which the show doesn't really need but eh.

really just heartbreaking.

Draymond is on because media people have convinced themselves he's the next Barkley because "he'll say anything."

They forget that likability is also important.

Inside without the current crew just isn't the same, and I would hope they just wouldn't do it. There's no adding someone or taking away that would be right at all. Like a guest here and there works just fine, unless it's Draymond because he's an insufferable asshole who assaults people at work and then somehow gaslights people into believing he's the victim of the situation.

I did really like when they had KG and Chris Webber. They were actually pretty funny.
