Reminds me of the Reggie Miller\spike lee game back in the day but I'm not sure which one was more shocking. That was hell of a game though and I suspect that this next game will probably decide if its a sweep or a 6-7 game battle. If the pacers win the next game in NY, it's over in a sweep

I think it was J Will who said today that the difference between the two games is that that the Miller/Lee game hit you quickly, so it wasn't painful. Whereas what happened last night was a slow agonizing death, which is far worse than the Miller/Lee game.

I thought going in this would be a tight series that would go either 6 or 7. And nothing has changed me from that view. Indiana is sneaky good, and people forget they were in the conference finals last year. And perhaps this loss will serve the Knicks that they can't sleepwalk through this.

Before these playoffs, I never understood why people thought he was the most overrated. He was sneaky good and sneaky clutch. I put him in a similar category to Brunson in that regard.

I think any one of the four remaining teams can win it all. Anybody who is calling either the ECF or WCF the defacto NBA finals is just being an idiot.
