man, now the loss to "team overrated" hurts even more, as i had the Hornets and Pacers numbers all season.
and excuse me if i can't get too excited when the same 2 teams go at each other in the Eastern conf finals that have been going at each other in 6 of the past 7 seasons. and the last time the Pacers have NOT been part of a conference finals, it was the 2019 season - or should I say May 2007 - when Derek and Ivan still were running the Pistons and Kings ...
amazing ... and - without taking anything from these two, as it's clearly not their fault - pretty boring.
