    You serious? Hopefully not. Pacers went 2 -3 vs Celtics regular season and it easily could've been 3-2 Pacers. No Porzingis for at least a couple games is huge for Pacers. Going to say Pacers win one at Boston, probably game 2. Pacers bench probably the best of any still alive.

    Will be interesting to see how they line this series. A few comparisons:
    *Pacer offense is pretty amazing. Toward the end of the series, they tightened up their defense.
    *Pacer bench is good. I'd say that Boston's bench is better, except that Horford is now starting (w/ Porzingis out).

    A few obvious concerns for IND:
    1) They ousted an injury-ravaged Knick roster. That tied to all my anti-Knick bets.
    2) Does IND have the mettle? Going to be a lot tougher.

    Many disappointed celebs court side for the Knickers. They did get an early exit to beat the traffic and crowds though.

    Ended up winning a bunch of bets on Pacers 4-3 with odds between +750 and +1000. Also have Pacers 4-3 and Twolves 4-3 parlay +7600

    Boston has a history of crushing game 1 and then inexplicably losing game 2. I'd wait for that early line to come down. Might get -8.5 or better. For me I will be on Boston in one form or another in game 1, and then Pacers game 2. If Boston wins game 1 by let's say 15 or more, we can possibly get Pacers +10.5 on game 2. Just my thoughts

    Pacers was my dark horse beginning of the season but watching them struggle against a banged up knicks at times they shouldn't win the next series but im sure a lot of people are skeptical of the c's

    Wow! Crusher, you gotta tell us how big a score the +7600 parlay was. Just play $?

    Congrats, my man. Great call. I was right in line with your plays.

    Yes, Nashy. That's good info.

    Think about the talking-heads. The New Yorkers were boasting of the Knick toughness.

    All well and good. Until you run out of players.

    Two home teams in game 7's lose. That was a crazy night of hoop. Many gamblers lost money one would think yesterday. I know I did. I had Denver pegged to win it. Boy was I wrong and paid the price.
