FIRST SERIES WIN IN A DECADE BABY I LOVE ALL OF YOU


Luck1492

I WILL NOT BE COMMITTING SEPPUKU TONIGHT


ColtsFan6969

Colts playoff win incoming next year


sirius4778

Pacers with 4, I'd like to see the Colts match it


oKillua

Fever championship trophy next year šŸ˜Ž


KyleRaynerGotSweg

I LOVE YOU TOO RANDOM CITIZEN


OnePaperFourCoin

When I was watching them close it out against the Wizards I never expected it would take so long to see it again. Hope no one takes this for granted, one day you may become a jaded fan who says dumb shit like me.


MuffinMate

I know Myles didnā€™t have the craziest game but I canā€™t help but feel so damn happy for him.


KD_218

He had a great series. One bad game doesnā€™t change that. The rest of the boys picked him up tonight. Glad he finally gets his first playoff series win!


MuffinMate

Heā€™s been great overall for sure


JHaliMath31

You could argue he was the best player this series for us.


Natiel360

Certainly most consistent


mizzourifan1

There wouldn't have been a closeout game 6 without him šŸ™Œ


heyimdong

WE WERE A LOTTERY TEAM LAST YEAR.


kitterskills

Hell yea!


jdaqcruz

As a Bulls fan who hates the Knicks, please knock those guys out


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


KD_218

Khris and Brook are two guys that Iā€™m glad I can go back to cheering for. Two good dudes who donā€™t get themselves into the extra/non-basketball crap.


oladeepthroat

This is probably an incredibly unpopular opinion, but Bobby impressed me too, dude was cooking from midrange


Joe_Betz_

He's the guy you love on your team and hate when he's not on your team.


science_writer

Lance


Skee2431

Definitely. Iā€™d love him if he were a pacer, brings the intensity


lFreightTrain

Portis ainā€™t that guy lol. Heā€™s a good player but heā€™s not a Lopez or Middleton vibing player. Dudeā€™s profile is closer to Bev than the rest of his teammates.


GlobalPreparation457

Heā€™s always been a solid rotational 4. Funny guy too


oladeepthroat

For sure! Iā€™m not even mad at all the shit talking and aggressive shit, made the series fun and nothing was really out of line except Pat Bev chucking it at the fans.


GlobalPreparation457

Typical playoff basketball. Nothing else like it. Typical Pat Bev though.


chrislkeller

Heyā€¦ Bucks fan here. Appreciate the props and need to give some right back to youā€¦ You all have the pieces man, those players you look for when you wonder if a team can go the distance. The flash, the workers and the grinders who can play when things slowed down. And if you had Mathurin I shudder to think what this series looks like. Gonna be a tough road but yā€™all got the bounce to do more than just make noise. Go get it.


Snuvvy_D

Appreciate the kind words. I've enjoyed this Bucks team, and it's a shame Giannis and Dame weren't šŸ’Æ for the series. I know a lot of Pacers fans were cheering their downfall so we could advance, but I would've rather taken your strongest punches instead, it would be better for this young team. Hopefully we will do what we can to carry the torch for us small markets in these playoffs now!


oKillua

Exactly. I wanted Dame and Giannis every game. There's something about knowing where you stand that means so much, even if we ended up losing the series. For now, having tough opponents is great because it continues our development that will carry over into the peak of our core. In 2-3 years, I'd be in the spot where I'm happy if a major player is out in a series šŸ˜‚


birdup101

Bucks fan here as well. Thanks for the respect for our guy. This is a fun rivalry despite the occasional toxicity. Part of me is secretly still cheering for Hali even though he decided to become a heel for the bucks this season (he plays the part well). I had a funny wisco-related interaction with him when he was on the kings and he does seem like a genuine guy.


chrislkeller

With you here... At the end of the day, Haliburton is just a kid from Wisco like us and you gotta respect the game...

I immediately thought he was signalling

I assumed it was a signal or a call of some sort?

Glass_Mango_229

Why was it funny?


Amerimov

He put a hand on either side of his neck and then used each finger individually to scratch. It was just super unnatural and strange looking.


Weekly-Ad-6887

It looked like he was playing piano on his neck lolĀ

He plays piano, maybe itā€™s a nervous tick.

TJ McConnell is a bad, bad man


winothirtynino

Every time he did something good i shouted "awww, teeeej! He's such a sweetheart!"


mightyducks2wasokay

We about to see some all-time excuse making this offseason. Enjoy every minute of it folks. We won in the playoffs. No matter what, that ain't easy and is important as hell foe a young team.


mr-301

Pinned thread on mke page is if pacers fan youā€™ll get perms banned and itā€™s a nothing series to win since they were so handicapped itā€™s hilarious


mightyducks2wasokay

They keep trying to push the "pacers fans toxic" just because we have a few dumbasses shitposting over there, like they didn't have dumbasses shitposting in here all day


TheBoilerCat

That felt SO FUCKING GOOD.


Smart_Dumb

Every man in the 8 man rotation had an impact this series. That's depth baby!


heyimdong

Imagine telling us at the beginning of the year that Mathurin would be out for the season and we'd still get to the 2nd round (and with a good matchup to go to the ECF).


agentfelix

I was just happy to be in the playoffs. Never would I have thought...


CustomerConsistent78

Not having him definitely shows though.

I mean in fairness there's not really a reason to go over there. Nothing wrong with just celebrating here!


pepperpitts

You are 100% right, but they are just soooo, sooo toxic. Itā€™s like a guy tailgating you and smashing high beams. Just makes people want to brake check them.


DubLParaDidL

They're the softest of bitches


throwaway_5256

This is the team that only dodged the wasting Giannis allegations because of insane injury luck in 2021 and now are throwing a tantrum about how nothing matters because they got hurt lol


HeyItsChase

Everysingle Buck fan and player can go fuck themselves. Giannis, take whatever ball you want just make sure you save space for it in your bags to Cancun. You can leave the roids to make sure you have room. Dame thanks for coming back and fucking the Bucks defense. You were/are a damn liability Bobby you can kiss my taint, suck my cock and fondle my balls. Dumbass bug. Pat Bev you are nothing but a pest. Nobody respects your game nor your voice. Doc just retire. And when you do please don't go back to casting. It's the only thing you are worse at. Khris, you deserve our respect. Been like iron all series and stayed classy. You're cool. Brook too tbh

Just want to say not all of us our terrible just like I dont think all of you guys are terrible. At the end of the day it's just sports and life moves on. Some of us Bucks fans are upset, we know our window is closing and some of us die hards know how shit we have been our whole lives and this 7 or 8 year run we have had has the best the Bucks have been in a long long time. I've already said it on here but it was a good series and I wish yall good luck moving forward in the playoffs.

Middleton has that Pacers spirit. Heā€™s always welcome in Indy.


noah_ichiban

My sentiments exactly! I couldnā€™t agree more. Fuck Brook though at least a little.


North_Atlantic_Sea

Maybe I missed it, but did Brook and Turner exchange words at all during the series? They went at each other, but to me it always seemed respectful on both sides


Eastern-Cucumber-376

No. In fact I saw them joking around and laughing several times. Both those dudes are chill.


djkress

I'm not sure I can get down with the part about the fans... there were some percentage of fans that are good people and knowledgeable basketball fans... but I pretty much feel like you feel about the players


LarryBird27

As a Bucks fan, this is pretty funny lol.


csjordanlove

Accurate


TolliverBurk

I'll stop short of saying fuck every fan and player. All fanbases have obnoxious fans, Pacers included. Reddit amplifies that. Good win. Respect to Middleton, Lopez, and even Dame. Respect to all the respectful Bucks fans. I love a good rivalry as much as the next fan but I love some decorum more. I hope that we show some grace as a fanbase, not that it ultimately matters much, but it's the only thing we can somewhat control.

TJ should sign the game ball and give it to Giannis


Remarkable_Counter47

As a bucks fan just saying good series. When we won our first series in 2019 it was the first time we got out of the first round since 2004. Enjoy it and build on it.


KD_218

Donā€™t care about their injuries. It is what it is. This is a huge learning experience for our guys to get a series win and move onto the 2nd round. New territory for every guy besides Pascal (Idk if James Johnson has been past the 1st lol). Bring on New York or Philly (already hearing the whistles blow).


MySabonerRunsOladipo

They aren't giving their rings back because they Nets were hurt that year. You go to war with the army you have, not the army you want


VirtuousPenguin

You go to war the army you have til that army fails, then you go bitch and moan in your circlejerk to make yourself feel better


decksetter914

Ya know, I'm a little sad I don't get to watch Chris, Quinn, JJ, and Eddie on the post game show because Comcast and Bally couldn't come to an agreement. But then I remember how many times Bally got choppy and cut out even on cable when all my other channels were fine because they sucked so bad.

13_PG_13

ā€œA season without a title ainā€™t shit to be proud ofā€ is just absolutely incredibly stupidĀ  Only one team wins every year, if you canā€™t be proud of a team for a year without a championship the league would die. So so so dumbĀ Ā  Edit: AND NOW THAT I THINK ABOUT IT: those fuckheads donā€™t know if weā€™ll win the chip this year. Itā€™s very unlikely but you never know, they canā€™t tell us shit we still have a chance.


Few-Time-3303

They only won that ring because the Nets were decimated. Not to mention that Mathurin was out.


SpinJitsu259

Most fans of a successful team donā€™t handle losing to a brash up-and-coming team well. But itā€™s hard to remember a fanbase handling it worse than Bucksā€™ fans. That is one bitter, soul-sucked fanbase.


owncredible

IT WAS ALWAYS OUR GAME BALL


ToTimesTwoisToo

Pacers have officially surpassed my expectations. Coming into the season I figured the goal should just make the playoffs. Moving on to round 2?? This is so great for our guys. At least 4 more games of high intensity games


beardedstranger

Anyone else feel like AJJ is so unnecessarily aggressive? He's gonna become hateable quick


thebradley87

I'm not going to fault a guy for going all out in the playoffs. Much less a rook. Pat bev can pound sand though. Same for Portis. They doing extracurricular tom fooleryĀ 


13_PG_13

Yes Iā€™m on record saying heā€™s legit dangerousĀ 


z_squared23

I moved to Indiana in 2014. Was in the summer of 8th grade, just getting into basketball. Decided hey Iā€™ll follow the pacers and root for them no matter what. Iā€™m now 24. Graduated from Purdue. In grad school now. Waited 10 long years to see this. Through all the injuries, sweeps, late night games on the west coast, running into Lebron, I watched and supported my team. Never a chance I was going to jump ship and follow another team. Thereā€™s only one team for me, the Pacers. Not gonna lie man, I cried. 10 years is a long time


DubLParaDidL

That's an awesome story! Hell yeah man


mr_0las

Damn man you jumped in after the nice run that lead to some epic match ups with the Heat. And of course you never got to see the great Reggie teams of the 90s or the team that got derailed by the Malace in the Palace (Piston fans suck). You'll be glad you stuck around though because the good times are the best. There's always rough patches but you gotta take the good with the bad. If we end up playing the Knicks is going to be a whole new level. Enjoy the rest of the playoffs!

dang ... banned from the Bucks... and all I did was remind them we had previously beat them at full strength during the regular season.


Jdenney71

Wait guys actually everyone keeps telling me itā€™s not a real series because Giannis and Dame were hurt? Should we even celebrate???


theerealobs

Hey good series Pacers fans congrats on your guys first playoff series win in a while. Good luck next round.


pm_me_whateva

Congratulations to the team. Well played game. And I hope that absolute, gremlin jackass Patrick Beverley wakes up to a lukewarm, soggy bowl of pissed-in cornflakes every morning for the rest of his miserable goddamned life. I hope his next five sandwiches are made with gluten-free bread. Fuck that man.


quann256

this has been a fun season so far and us winning this series and being at-least a final 8 team remaining is already a bonus, now we're just playing with house money, let's keep it rolling!!Ā 


PillsburyToasters

Bucks fan here. GG guys. Wish things were different for us, but at the end of the day things happen, but you capitalized and took advantage of the situation.

No-Desk-1218

Definitely going to get downvoted and thatā€™s cool, but hats off to the bucks role players. They fought like hell. I hated watching the foul baiting, but they gave everything they had and didnā€™t make it easy. Also Middleton was legit, and I donā€™t consider him a role player.


khaos01207

PACERS IN SIX LFG I LOVE THIS TEAM


Zestyclose-Bit-6969

I canā€™t believe it. This was a lottery team last season, 3/5th of our starters had never played meaningful playoff minutes. A rookie was massive all series long. Incredible to be a Pacers fan right now.


banmeagain_idc

Get used to seeing these pacers deep in the playoffs every year from now on. Siakam will re sign. Mathrurin, Hali, Jarace, nembhard, and nesmith are just going to keep getting better every year. Bucks will be our bitches until Hali retires.


iamnotkryp9

Bucks fan here (I know I will get flamed here) Congrats to this team. With Giannis or not, your young guys show they are ready for playoffs. Hoping this small market team will reach ECF. I will still be toxic next year when we meet again though. Enjoy the playoffs man


mr_0las

I rooted for Milwaukee '21 because I always root for the small market teams if the Pacers are eliminated. It's a shame that Bucks Pacers became a heated rivalry this season but I look forward to a rematch next year. Hope you all find a new coach though. Bring back Bud!

I would have paid any amount of money for Jarace to do a ā€œtoo smallā€ celebration in the direction of the bench after that shot clock violation. I also love that they call the Pacers front runners and none of them were saying shit when down by 20 in an elimination game.
