Game seven ended with Hal Burton's Achilles.

Hal Burton became the only NBA player to get shingles and put on weight and has to recover from that too.

And they lost their top four pick and it went number five to the Clippers.

Most fan bases lose.

The Pacers specialize in cosmic level timing.

What was exchanged exactly for those comeback wins?

Jacoby, do you

Do you believe in the cellular soul theory, the Halliburton shot going up in the air?

Do you think the karmic forces have to balance each other out?

That's kind of near where I landed.

Last year was an amazing ride for Pacer fans.

It didn't get better than that.

I can't think of a more fun playoff run where they became the most memorable thing about the playoffs, even though they didn't win the finals, which never happens, right?

You think about the 25 finals.

I think of the Pacers before I think about anything else that happened.

So it wasn't terrible.

They still have Tyrese and Siakam.

They have Zubats, Nembhard, Neesmith.

Toppin, TJ, Jairus Walker, Shepard.

They have all of their firsts except one.
