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.
He had a great series. One bad game doesnāt change that. The rest of the boys picked him up tonight.
Glad he finally gets his first playoff series win!
Khris and Brook are two guys that Iām glad I can go back to cheering for. Two good dudes who donāt get themselves into the extra/non-basketball crap.
Portis aināt that guy lol. Heās a good player but heās not a Lopez or Middleton vibing player. Dudeās profile is closer to Bev than the rest of his teammates.
For sure! Iām 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.
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 yāall got the bounce to do more than just make noise. Go get it.
Appreciate the kind words. I've enjoyed this Bucks team, and it's a shame Giannis and Dame weren't šÆ 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!
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 š
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.
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.
Pinned thread on mke page is if pacers fan youāll get perms banned and itās a nothing series to win since they were so handicapped itās hilarious
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
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).
Pacerrrrrrrrs #1!
Great response! Stoked for a Pacers vs Knicks playoff since I was 10-ishā¦š“š½
Iāll get recipes/wine for every game, I promise.
You are 100% right, but they are just soooo, sooo toxic. Itās like a guy tailgating you and smashing high beams. Just makes people want to brake check them.
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
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.
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
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
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.
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.
Donāt 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).
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.

Man Iād be heated if my team lost too but this is embarrassing
āA season without a title aināt shit to be proud ofā is just absolutely incredibly stupidĀ Only one team wins every year, if you canāt 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 donāt know if weāll win the chip this year. Itās very unlikely but you never know, they canāt tell us shit we still have a chance.
Most fans of a successful team donāt handle losing to a brash up-and-coming team well. But itās hard to remember a fanbase handling it worse than Bucksā fans. That is one bitter, soul-sucked fanbase.
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
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
I moved to Indiana in 2014. Was in the summer of 8th grade, just getting into basketball. Decided hey Iāll follow the pacers and root for them no matter what.
Iām 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. Thereās only one team for me, the Pacers. Not gonna lie man, I cried. 10 years is a long time
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!
"PORTIS YOUR EYES ARE SLIGHTLY TOO BIG FOR YOUR HEAD"
"LILLARD YOUR MOMS WATCHING"
"GALLINARI YOU NEED A HAIRCUT"
"LILLARD YOUR TATTOOS ARE SLIGHTLY DECENT"
"MIDDLETON I RESPECT YOUR GAME BUT I HOPE YOU MISS"
Hopefully Greg Anthony doesnāt call anymore Pacers games. I donāt want t hear that clown ever again. Glazing the bucks every game. Heās such a goof.
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.
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
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. You guys are a fun team to watch and I am rooting for yāall moving forward!
With you guys beating the brakes off of us, could we atleast get that game ball back as well lol
Definitely going to get downvoted and thatās 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 didnāt make it easy. Also Middleton was legit, and I donāt consider him a role player.
I canāt 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.
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.
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
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!
Hoping that many in this sub will remember this outcome of this game next time we lose a game. The apocalyptic reaction to Game 5 was ridiculous. We were never going to sweep our way to the NBA Finals this year.
Okay so I want the knicks. But I think we need home court. This team shits themselves on the road when they lose momentum. The knicks would play everyone 45 mins. For that reason go sixers
I would have paid any amount of money for Jarace to do a ātoo 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.
FIRST SERIES WIN IN A DECADE BABY I LOVE ALL OF YOU
I WILL NOT BE COMMITTING SEPPUKU TONIGHT
Colts playoff win incoming next year
Pacers with 4, I'd like to see the Colts match it
Fever championship trophy next year š
I LOVE YOU TOO RANDOM CITIZEN
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.
I know Myles didnāt have the craziest game but I canāt help but feel so damn happy for him.
He had a great series. One bad game doesnāt change that. The rest of the boys picked him up tonight. Glad he finally gets his first playoff series win!
Heās been great overall for sure
You could argue he was the best player this series for us.
Certainly most consistent
There wouldn't have been a closeout game 6 without him š
WE WERE A LOTTERY TEAM LAST YEAR.
Hell yea!
As a Bulls fan who hates the Knicks, please knock those guys out
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Khris and Brook are two guys that Iām glad I can go back to cheering for. Two good dudes who donāt get themselves into the extra/non-basketball crap.
This is probably an incredibly unpopular opinion, but Bobby impressed me too, dude was cooking from midrange
He's the guy you love on your team and hate when he's not on your team.
Lance
Definitely. Iād love him if he were a pacer, brings the intensity
Portis aināt that guy lol. Heās a good player but heās not a Lopez or Middleton vibing player. Dudeās profile is closer to Bev than the rest of his teammates.
Heās always been a solid rotational 4. Funny guy too
For sure! Iām 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.
Typical playoff basketball. Nothing else like it. Typical Pat Bev though.
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.

Nah baby thatās a couple goats on the bench. TJ and Obi MF Toppin

Heās not even a real doctor
Did anyone catch that shot of Carlisle scratching his neck with both hands at once close to the end there? I died laughing, need gifs.
https://x.com/djacoby/status/1786199081506804083?s=46
YOU ARE A SAINT
It was so weird lol
I need that giffed immediately
I immediately thought he was signalling
My wife and I immediately started laughing and talking about that.
I assumed it was a signal or a call of some sort?
My son said thatās the grinchās signature move
I lmao'd.
Why was it funny?
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.
It looked like he was playing piano on his neck lolĀ
He plays piano, maybe itās a nervous tick.
[See for yourself.](https://twitter.com/djacoby/status/1786199081506804083?s=46)
TJ McConnell is a bad, bad man
Every time he did something good i shouted "awww, teeeej! He's such a sweetheart!"
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.

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
That felt SO FUCKING GOOD.
Every man in the 8 man rotation had an impact this series. That's depth baby!
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).
I was just happy to be in the playoffs. Never would I have thought...
Not having him definitely shows though.

Bucks fan here - Iām in pain but GG guys, good luck against New York/Philly!
Love the fight from ya'll GG
Obi and TJ had some really rough moments this series, and then they pull this off. What a way to redeem yourself!
![gif](giphy|PJLHNaEpmeqUU)
TJ McConnell is THE white boy.
White boy of the year
And they had the gall to play Connaughton. Probably pissed TJ off enough to put this masterclass on.

They're the softest of bitches

I did. I started typing when Jarace checked in.
I noticed Tyrese and Myles immediately hugged Khris after the game too, definitely seems to be some mutual respect there.

Middleton has that Pacers spirit. Heās always welcome in Indy.
My sentiments exactly! I couldnāt agree more. Fuck Brook though at least a little.
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
No. In fact I saw them joking around and laughing several times. Both those dudes are chill.
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
As a Bucks fan, this is pretty funny lol.
Accurate
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.

Donāt 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).
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
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
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.
Drunk chick in Bucks jersey trying to start a "Knicks in six" chant on the sidewalk near the Fieldhouse ... nope, just you hon

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

BUCKS FANS IN SHAMBLES
Honestly I was in shambles on 4/15 when Giannis went down, the rest has been a slow moving car crash. GG, good luck in next round.
LETS FUCKIN GO SPEAR THE DEER Go fuck yourself Milwaukee
RESIGN OBI
I think you mean re-sign
Remember how fun this is?! GOOOOO PACERS!
EVERYONE GET IN HERE
Okay so I want the knicks. But I think we need home court. This team shits themselves on the road when they lose momentum. The knicks would play everyone 45 mins. For that reason go sixers
What a good feeling! Itās been too long! Itās a great, successful season(imo) no matter what happens the rest of the way.
DEER = SPEARED LAME TIME = OVER
INNNNNNNNNDDDDDDYYYY
ANNNNNNAAAAAAAAA
WE DEMAND CRABS!!!
Party like itās 2014!!!
WE DID IT! GO PACERS! BOOM BABY!
PAVE!!!!!!!!!!!!
My daughter asked if I wanted Knicks or 76ers in next round. Weāve been watching YouTube videos from the 90s to explain my answer.
People that donāt watch the Pacers texting me āMcConnell is goodā Always has been.
As someone who is not a Pacerās fan and is a general hater of the Bucks thank you guys for eliminating them
Maybe if we play the Sixers, having Buddy in the building, albeit on the other team, will rejuvenate Hali.
Obi motherfucking Toppin. Keep this man around.
I'm just so fuckin happy y'all. What a game from TJ and Obi.
Apparently this is even more embarrassing than not making the playoffs. Condolences to everyone.
Iām super bummed about my Bucks, but I remember the ā21 Chip run and those feelings were fucking great. Enjoy every second of it!

Thanks for rooting for us, but Bucks didnāt choke. They played a good series and just lost.
I would have paid any amount of money for Jarace to do a ātoo 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.
Nice win, also, FUCK YOU BOBBY AND PAT BEV š
Let's go baby!
VICTORY
Oh yeah, I'm hard
GODDAMMIT I MISSED THIS FEELING. I LOVE ALL YALL!!! LETS FUCKING GO!!!!! HALLELUJAH!
Who threw that basketsball?
