[siraulo23]

George hill smh

[CGD]

Smh pacers

[dg7md]

:lol Coach Bud taking a reject squad into the second round.

[Jacob1983]

38 wins

[Venti Quattro]

38 wins
A 38-win team held Indiana to 38% shooting tonight

[Jacob1983]

I know. It's just proof of how shitty the East is. When's the last time a sub .500 team made it to the 2nd round?

[Nathan89]

FYI this game is on.

[Chinook]

What a horrible no-call on that Stephenson block.

[Nathan89]

pacers have at least 4 24sec violations this game.

[Trainwreck2100]

Dang that coach bud putting in work

[Prime Time]

If Hawks win this series, would George Hill be the only player in NBA history to lose to an 8th seed (while playing on the 1st seed) ... twice?

[Nathan89]

If Hawks win this series, would George Hill be the only player in NBA history to lose to an 8th seed (while playing on the 1st seed) ... twice?

Along with Tim Duncan, Tony Parker, Manu Ginobili, etc.

[Chinook]

Depends on what happens with the Spurs and Mavs.

[Killakobe81]

Still lots of time ...but if PG really wants to be considered a superstar these are the type of games you need to takeover.

[Killakobe81]

Depends on what happens with the Spurs and Mavs.

Good point.

[TD21-FTW]

Tim Duncan, Manu Ginobili, Tony Parker, Matt Bonner...,:lol

[Prime Time]

Optimistic Spurs fans are optimistic :whine

[Chinook]

Tim Duncan, Manu Ginobili, Tony Parker, Matt Bonner...,:lol

Green and Splitter. I can't believe there are only six players on the team from 2011 considering how low turnover has been recently.

[djohn2oo8]

Heat have such an easy path to the finals.

[Chinook]

:lol Thinking we want to hear these folks talking about social issues.

[Nathan89]

Heat have such an easy path to the finals.

Still want to see Nene take it too their bigs. Dude goes at Noah so when he sees Bosh...

[Gummi Clutch]

NBA trying to extend this series :lol

[Baam]

Tosb West putting the team on his back tbh...

[Gummi Clutch]

If West wasn't on the Pacers they would be terrible.

[smaka]

The number of Hibbert's rebounds amazes me every single time...

[ace3g]

b2b big 3s for hawks

[Baam]

The number of Hibbert's rebounds amazes me every single time...

Korner steals his Rebounds half the time tbh...

[smaka]

Pacers in trouble

EDIT: and just like that GHill with a big 3

[ace3g]

Dunder Mifflin having a decent series against the Pacers

[Nathan89]

Time to blow the team up in the offseason

[Gummi Clutch]

scola the real MVP

[Nathan89]

Lol Hibbert on the bench

[Baam]

Hibbert the 15M cheerleader...

[gambit1990]

west with the 3.

[smaka]

Hibbert the 15M cheerleader...

:lol

[Gummi Clutch]

terrible possessions for Atl, Teague with the fuck ups

[Robz4000]

West with the dagger. Now we'll see if Atlanta can steal another road game.

[313]

Kinda feel bad for the Pacers, but Teague went to my high school and Coach Bud is from the Spurs


Go Hawks lol

[Robz4000]

:lmao Pacers

[Malik Hairston]

David West missing 2 FTs, makes a huge 3, then fouls Korver for 3:lol..nigga can't make up his mind on whether he wants to be the hero or the goat..

[Nathan89]

Stupid suggestion to do it simultaneously. If it's only two then they need to rebound after the second.

[Malik Hairston]

That was a weak call to make at this point of a game, tbh, wow..lane violation, really?:lol..

[Chinook]

Greg Anthony is the dumbest commentator I've ever heard. And that oncludes Miller.

[smaka]

Pacers probably winning this one... Unless somebody brick FTs again :lol

[MeloHype]

:lmao Stephenson

[Nathan89]

Hopefully Korver takes this shot.

[Baam]

So annoying how they stop the game every 2min...

[Mal]

And that`s the game

[Nathan89]

Hibbert is a sad sight

This is what's great about soccer, it doesn't stop 10 tiles in 5minutes tbh...

[Mal]

Pacers sucks regardless, of too Spurs game

[Arcadian]

...what the fuck?

[Spur-Addict]

Uninteresting game so far. Hibbert still looks like shit outside of a good defensive possession. Atlanta still seems to be getting good looks though, so it could be a good game depending on how Atlanta finishes quarters.

[MI21]

This shit is boring.

[lefty]

The lights are too bright

[ElNono]

Atlanta with a solid run to start the 2nd quarter

[Mal]

4th 3pointer by guy called Mike Scott :o

[Spur-Addict]

Mike Scott going HAM

Take that back, Mike Scott shitting on Pacers :lol

[Mal]

[MI21]

Hawks looking like regular season Spurs... Coach Bud :cry

[Kawhi]

Wtf Pacers were up after the first what the hell happened

[DPG21920]

How is it that the Wiz can figure out a damn good defense in CHI and ATL can beatdown a great defense in INDY, but SA can't figure out the juggernaut that is Dallas? WTF kind of world is this?

[jeebus]

Basically a preview of the _allas/Sperm game tonight

[lefty]

Wtf 25 pt lead

[RD2191]

Thought the Hawks were up 3-1? Tf happened in Game 4?

[ElNono]

Larry Legend can't believe it

Good thing that Spurs traded Paul George, he cant lead team.

[Kawhi]

:lmao that fan talking

[DPG21920]

Damn, that fan going IN on Paul George :lol

[weeks]

LMAO

"you're gonna go out in the first round against atlanta!? you're supposed to be an all star! you get caught traveling! wake up!!"

[lefty]

Do you really want to hurt me

Do you really want to make me cry

[DPG21920]

No one is looking that fan in the eye. Dude is enraged.

[Spur-Addict]

Anybody hear that guy yelling at Paul George? "Going home in the 1st round. Ya hear me?!?! First round!!!" :lmao

[RD2191]

[hater]

this could possibly top all chokejob/meltdowns in NBA history. Of course after game 6 last year.

[lefty]

PG is another product of today's NBA and media overhyping young players.

Eventually, the players end up buying that and become nonchalant

It's hard to imagine Shelvin Mack and Mike Scott can drop 30 in a quarter in an NBA playoff game against the best defense in the league...

[Spur-Addict]

Lets see if we'll get a part 2 of The Cooking

[DPG21920]

Incredible that road teams have a winning record in the playoffs :wow. Hope the Spurs can add to that..

What will the NBA do if that happens? How can the geniuses in the marketing department of the NBA sell that shit to douchebag casual fans? Personally, I love it. I would love to see the Hawks win this series, and possibly go to the ECF. Fuck, it would be awesome to see them make it to the Finals.

[TDMVPDPOY]

if the pacers dont advance, do they keep or use lance as trade bait?

[Findog]

Here are the rumors as to why the Pacers have fallen apart:

" Paul George currently has multiple women pregnant. George and Roy Hibbert had a threesome that got awkward and led to tension between them.

Also, Lance Stevenson and Even Turner recently had a fist fight in practice. "

[hater]

Indy media going in :lol

Frank Vogel must bench Roy Hibbert or be fired

[Killakobe81]

The lack of defensive adjustments had some Pacers frustrated.

"We have to be able to make better adjustments," West said. "We just didn't respond. I have no explanation on why we gave up 40-something [points] in the second quarter. "Coach [Frank Vogel] throws [the starters] back out there and says, 'Get us out of the hole.' Just tough, particularly when a team is rolling, feeling good. We're in an uphill battle the whole game."

Vogel is a prideful coach who isn't interested in adjusting his game plan. Budenholzer has one-upped Vogel so many times in the series that the Pacers coach finally stopped being stubborn with his reluctance to use shooter Chris Copeland at power forward in the second half.

Courtesy ESPN ...

IF that was a black coach you would be clowning.
ROFL you guys that were calling this cat a great coach.

All the black coach grief McHale and Vogel have been two of the shittiest.
And one of the biggest jokes (HDMD) has at least made some adjustments after a loss.

[Venti Quattro]

Indiana will probably blow out Atlanta today and finish this in 7, but it's funny how Indiana's "airtight" defense got exposed in the postseason by a team 6 games below .500. Their inability to mark and close in on Atlanta's shooters is unforgiveable for a team that prides itself on defense.

Hibbert is absolute garbage but the reason why Indiana signed a shitload of big men is for an insurance policy. I haven't even seen Bynum play a single minute to relieve Hibbert while he is sulking and sucking.

Paul George's mercury rise to prominence fell down pretty quickly because scouts and coaches quickly realized what his weaknesses were. He's had a Lin-type start to the season but has fallen off a cliff after teams started to notice him. He does not know how to read the defenses that are being thrown at him and that is alarming because they pride themselves on defense.

All in all, Indiana may get past Atlanta but they absolutely have no chance when they meet the big boys of the East. If they are sucking like this against Atlanta, imagine what Washington would do to them.

[Mugen]

:lol I have the Hawks in a blowout tonight tbh

[CitizenDwayne]

Hibbert is absolute garbage

Pretty much sums it up. You can criticize George all you want, sure he's underperforming. But this decline from Hibbert is historically bad. Blame should pretty much all be on him, imo

[look_at_g_shred]

:lol I have the Hawks in a blowout tonight tbh
:lmao what its come to huh?

[313]

Not only have the Pacers been in a long slump, they ran into a matchup nightmare. I doubt they would be looking this bad if they would have got the bobcats in the first round.

Hawks wrap this up tonight in blowout fashion. A fitting end to the Pacers debacle of a season.

[sook]

I hope we get to see some drama, tbh

[baseline bum]

Hibbert's playoffs make Bellineli look like fucking Larry Bird 1986

[hater]

I have concluded these Pacers have absolutely zero chance vs the Heat. So go Hawks :lol I wanna se some drama

[ElNono]

Fuck, is Joey reffing every fucking game now?

[Jodelo]

Antic:lol

[ElNono]

:lol West

[ElNono]

:lol Antic with the euroflop

[ElNono]

wow :lmao

[ElNono]

George Hill with 3 plays completely turned this game in Atlanta's favor...

[Texas_Ranger]

I'd like Korver on the Spurs.

[BatManu20]

The Pacers are a train wreck. So bad yet you can't look away. This team should be ashamed.

[ElNono]

catfish has been horrible, tbh

[hater]

:lmao Hibbert goes to the bench and Indiana at least looks barely competitive

I dont see Hibbert entering the game again. Unless coach Voguel wants to commit career suicide :lol

[hater]

Michael Jordan Scott entering the game. Pacers = FUCKED :lol

[ElNono]

this game might be over by halftime if the Pacers don't wake the fuck up... just amazing they can mail it in like this in an elimination game

[Clipper Nation]

I have concluded these Pacers have absolutely zero chance vs the Heat.
Only took you at least two months longer than anyone else on the planet to reach that conclusion :lol

[hater]

Either of these 2 shit teams are going to get demolished next round

[ElNono]

nice run by Indiana

[Spur-Addict]

Scott with the And1 :rollin

[ElNono]

:lmao Stephenson tripping players

[Chinook]

I can't see how Vogel doesn't get fired if the Pacers lose tonight. There are just too many problems with the team's mental preparedness and scheme for it not to be the coach's fault. That said, Bird contributed to the collapse as well. He needs a scapegoat.

[Clipper Nation]

:lmao Stephenson tripping players
:lol Stephenson
:lol Overcelebrating faggot

[hater]

Stephenson is trash

[Chinook]

Lance has Millwaukee written all over him.

[Spur-Addict]

What the hell was Scott thinking :lol

[Spur-Addict]

I don't see the same level of intensity from Atlanta. They better be careful or this will get away from them in a heartbeat

[ElNono]

:wow Scott dunk

I had the same thought. I expect someone to post that gif in this thread by the end of the night.

[Spur-Addict]

Pretty pass from Paul Milsap

[TheGoldStandard]

Millsap has been a beast on the boards.. It's so funny how he's outworked all the Indiana bigs

Not a gif but it'll do for now


https://vine.co/v/MrvBmjg3xP5

[Venti Quattro]

They're doing this without Al Horford. God bless you Indiana

[MI21]

Millsap has more rebounds and assists in this one game than Hibbert does the entire series.

WTF is Hibbert doing laughing his ass off on the bench for? He's been garbage this entire series..

[ElNono]

Indy not dead yet

Pacers haven't figured out shit. Even if they manage to beat ATL, they still suck total ass at this point, and shouldn't be proud of a damn thing.

Nope, the LkrFan curse will be broken. Game 7 is in Indy. :)

[midnightpulp]

Nope, the LkrFan curse will be broken. Game 7 is in Indy. :)

Not yet. For the curse to be broken, they need to at least reach the ECF and put up a fight. "Contenders" typically make it past the 2nd round.

Long way to go.

[Venti Quattro]

Tonight...

Hibbert: 0 points, 2 rebounds, 4 fouls, -12
Mahinmi, 0 points, 6 rebounds, 1 steal, 2 blocks, 4 fouls, +8

[Mal]

That`s why Atlanta is irrelevant 8 seed

Pacers got the series folks. Move along now.

Also, has someone called on Hibbert here as Niggurt? It fits and it's racist, right? Right???

[Ricky Davis]

He hasn't scored in the last 125 minutes of game time

unreal

[Jacob1983]

I'm pulling for Atlanta but I just think they blew their chance. Will be extremely difficult for them to win game 7 in Indy.

[Spur-Addict]

No excuses for Indy on their home court in a game 7

[smaka]

:lol Indy is so bad

[BatManu20]

Paul George with the flare. Indy still looks terrible on offense so far

[smaka]

Korver is just automatic from the 3 point line
