So much Pacers love it’s down right CRAZY

But we right. 

pacers +5

My exact thoughts.  Love Pacers but seeing way too much love on this board.  

After the watching the first two games in OKC, for the Pacers to win, they need multiple chain of events to take place, they need to make a huge amount of 3's, score 46-50% of their field goals, NOT turn the ball over more than 12 times, along with shutting down OKC for 48 mins!

It was a nice comeback win for them Pacers game 1, probably one of those WOW type of wins! but aside from that late 4th qt collapse by OKC, they have dominated these Pacers for much of the series, playing their normal brand of basketball.

I do not know if covers ever measures up to anything in the real betting market, although it seems like majority is on the Pacers this game and the line is holding hard at 5.5 and the money line have crept towards 225 from the opening lines of around 200.

Can the Pacers win? Of course! They have done it all season, especially in the playoffs and game one of the finals, but they have made some incredible comebacks, and sadly I want to say they played some bad teams in the real situations. The Bucks weren't never really a threat, we have to be honest even if Dame Time wasn't hurt, that team wasn't no good all season. The Cavs were hurt, for key players to not play game one and two shows how hurt they were, suiting up the rest of the series showed heart, but clearly that was not the same Cavs team that took the most wins in the East! I hate to say the Knicks were a bad team but they had no bench, and there were so much more to them losing to the pacers, firing a Head Coach who had the most success in their teams recent history isnt easy, something was happening behind close doors all series or even playoffs! 

These OKC Thunders played the Grizz who I want to say are the same level as the Bucks this year, they just were not good and were never going to make a serious run at things, the Nuggets with Joker and their Championship experience pushed these Thunders and allowed them to grow, beating the Wolves in 5 was something special imho, it showed clear growth after getting blown out by 43 points, that short clip of SGA talking about why they were BLOWN out was something special, this young team are more mature than we all assume.

The +5 is nice, anytime a home team can catch points its a plus, but the Pacers just ran into the wrong team, winning game 1 while it was magical might have turned this series. Will be a great game. I believe the Thunder win again today, if not will win for sure if coming of a lost game 4.

Seems even to me
