Owning New York is equally enjoyable to us Hoosiers — there’s 32 years of history at play.

Ok that’s fair. Rivalries are def good for the game.

To be fair, the Pacers did win a few junior varsity championships, which apparently feature prominently at the Fieldhouse.

...And while the Pacers were beating up on the Los Angeles Stars and the Kentucky Colonels, the Knicks were playing in the varsity championship game, where they beat Wilt Chamberlain and Lakers. Twice.

This is what we hang at the Garden.

I’m almost 51 and wasn’t alive for those great Knicks years.

New York is 1-5 vs. Indiana in the playoffs over the past 27 years. It’s so bad that winning a second-round series is now celebrated like VJ Day.

I suppose they knew the end was near.

Brass balls.

Tyrese has half of LeBron’s 22 year total since April 29.

This didn't age well...

...unless you think that OKC now runs the table I guess.

I have no doubt Thunder will still win the series. Maybe it goes 6.

Give the Pacers credit for this win though, they even overcame several bad calls that went against them in the last 5 or 6 minutes.

Still possible.:D

I love the smell of hubris in the morning...

I’m still in this camp - But the biggest difference after the first game is if Indiana wins I will not be surprised

Tremendous win.

Thunder looked great in Game 2. What's sad is that OKC is so effective at and celebrated for playing the kind of defense that should be fundamental to ALL basketball but just isn't today. It's '80s-'90s basketball without the blood.

Meanwhile, in Knicks land. Looks like PJ Carlesimo is going to get banned from the Garden.

I think James Dolan might be even less popular among Knicks fans than Reggie Miller.

Gosh, it might take six :o

2 to go. I got tix for Friday. Time to bury them.
