The Indiana Pacers' game plan is to lull you to sleep and then fuck your world up in the last three minutes

The Indiana Pacers have done it again. They stole game one in Oklahoma City. These pacers, they just keep doing it... The Pacer's game plan is to lull you to sleep, being giving you a 10 point lead and then in the last three minutes, fuck your world up.

The Pacers did indeed have a historic run of double-digit comebacks in the 2025 playoffs as described.

If an NBA game were only 45 minutes long, the Indiana Pacers would be a lottery team

Surely they can't do this again, right? They didn't need until 0.3 seconds left in the entire game. If NBA playoff, if NBA games were 45 minutes long, the Pacers would be a lottery team.

This is a subjective hypothetical about the Pacers' late-game scoring profile.

The Indiana Pacers are a legitimate team whose playoff success is no fluke

The Indiana Pacers are for real. I know that it's like crazy to say, even though they're already in the NBA finals, but they were that big of a underdogs and this game just it at some point what they're doing is not fluke.

The Pacers made the Finals but lost the series, so their legitimacy as a contender was proven even if they didn't win the title.

The NBA Finals don't feel special because there is no 'Finals' script on the court anymore

How do you not have just like a script NBA finals? How do you not have anything, maybe even on the baseline there? It's the same argument I make with the throwback jerseys... When I watch a highlight of this game 10 years from now, I wanna know it was the NBA finals and there's nothing on the fucking court except YouTube TV.

Purely an aesthetic opinion on sports broadcasting and branding.

The Brewers' pressure created their 'lucky' breaks

That's not luck. That's just the Brewers and what they did to you mentally, where it's like you have to be perfect and almost made teams just become a worse version of themselves because of what the Brewers were doing to them.

This is an evaluative baseball argument rather than a claim with one definitive result.

The Bears are building around Jeffrey Simmons correctly

Jeffrey Simmons is an absolute game wrecker. Top three at his position, changes everyone around him. The Bears had a weakness in their defense, especially run defense. They made it a strength.

The assessment of Simmons' impact and positional ranking is partly subjective and will depend on his Chicago performance.

Jeffrey Simmons makes the Bears Super Bowl contenders

I thought they could win the Super Bowl before Jeffrey Simmons. Now I really do.

The 2026 NFL season and Super Bowl outcome have not yet been resolved from the episode date.
