NBA playoffs

The East is apparently the Choke Job Series — Pacers led by 20, Brunson on the bench for long stretches, got rolled over in the 4th.

Hope you enjoyed the game anyway.

The Knicks are most dangerous when they are counted out. I wouldn't be surprised if Game 4 is another barn burner.

I love the Knicks team this year. Such men.

James Dolan should ban Reggie Miller so he can't be in the broadcast booth for game 5. Hate Reggie Miller.

And TNT should bring in Charles Oakley to sit in Reggie's seat for that game.

ESPNs Over-the-top pro-Knicks agenda is enough to make me a root against them - Radio all day yesterday Oklahoma City and Indiana are boring towns - That NBA and their fans should not want them in the finals . I understand it’s a huge fan base But ESPN seem to live and die with the ups and downs of the Knicks .

It's just really hard to beat a good team three times in a row, history shows.

There were many times in that game where most teams would’ve rolled over and died — but they refused. Game 4 is enormous.

is Halliburton a “superstar” yet?

I think he is for Knicks fans. Even if his signature play so far was where he got away with a double dribble, and then bricked a two-pointer on which he got the world's luckiest bounce.

This rivalry isn’t going anywhere for a while. Maybe this will finally earn the Pacers more nationally televised games next season … but probably not.

[Brent G.]

Not sure if this is going on elsewhere, but here's the ticket inflation so far for Pacers home playoff games for one mid-level section from my personal experience:

• Game 1 vs. MIL: $97
• (No CLE data)
• Game 3 vs. NY: $250
• Game 6 vs. NY: $380

This is absurd. I've never seen a jump like that in-series. I assume the same seat will be $500 for Finals Game 3 and go up from there.

Long way to go until he earns that. I get your enthusiasm, but he's a very good player who is having a great playoffs. Not yet elite IMO.

It's very reminiscent of Reggie Miller when he busted out in the '94 playoffs. I'm still not sure if he was ever considered a "superstar." He just saved his best work for May-June.

Not sure Halliburton will ever take enough shots regularly to be on the best-of lists (41st in scoring this year).

Reggie is always in those top 75 of all time type lists I think. I would say he qualifies.
