Off topic post==== pacers!
 

I know this is on the main page and it will need to be moved, but I wanted to post it here to get as many looks as possible before it is moved.

It was only a couple years ago where several of us were talking about the Pacers and how there had been a real loss of interest. There were a number of people sort of dumping on what they had become. I kept saying this team was different- we weren't winning a bunch of games then but we were showing signs of potential and things were fun again inside Gainbridge.

POTENTIAL NO MORE! This team, these games, this is magical! There is a tie to the Colts in this post also...

A couple weeks ago on one of the radio shows they mentioned a convo with Kevin Pritchard just before Ty's first game as a Pacer. Remember, Sabonis was "the guy" here at the time and we traded him for a mostly unproven guard. When the reporter asked Pritchard why we made the trade- and this is again just before the tip of Hali's 1st game as a Pacer- Pritchard's response was "He is going to be our Peyton Manning". Massive statement, massive shoes to fill, and the guy is doing it!

If you aren't on this bus, man you are missing out, this thing is CRAZY!

Go Cers!

That was a crazy finish to the game, both at the end of the 4th and in OT.

On par with Peyton's 21 points in the final four minutes against the Bucs in 2003.

Down 17 with just over 6 minutes left, the Pacers scored an incredible 31 points on their final 13 possessions in regulation.

And the tying shot with time expiring was about a quarter inch away from being a 3-point shot to win it instead of a 2-point shot to tie it.

Just an incredible finish.

They are a complete team, not a team of superstars, there is no ego on this team, they share the ball and seem like a very happy family! The only guy I see as a potential problem would be Mathurin, and I think that is the reason he hasn't seen the floor as much lately. Carlisle is also a great coach who doesn't get as much credit as he deserves.

They are a deep team and they just wear their opponents out. Conditioning has something to do with it to, these guys seem to never run out of gas! The Knicks are a tough team asnd after that, if they can win you have OKC, but I think this team has a better chance to win it all than the 2000 team.

Go Pacers!
