Aaron Nesmith Had A Chasedown Block That Will Haunt Bobby "Bug Eyed" Portis' Nightmares Till The End Of Time
Aaron Nesmith! You beautiful son of a bitch. Running down Bug Eye Bobby for a 5 point swing, and sucking all the life out of the Bucks. This is a run down block that will be playing in Pacers' highlight reels till the end of time. I couldn't believe what my eyes were seeing. Nesmith looking like prime LeBron. A man who was compared to a paper clip and piece of string when he came to Indy in the Celtics trade has yet again found himself playing a huge roll in another Indiana playoff run.
The disrespect! What a turnaround for Nesmith. Fighting for minutes on the Celtics bench to starting in the playoffs and contributing on both sides of the ball in big ways. Thanks to Nesmith coming from halfcourt to swat the shit out of ol' crazy eyes, I can maybe forget about the Tayshaun Prince block on Reggie in the playoffs. A block that has haunted my dreams for the last 20 years.
Nesmith played great, and had an incredible block, but tonight was the Myles Turner game. Indiana's true X-factor came to play after laying a total egg in Game 3. BUT, that's what a pro does. They bounce back. Turner bounced back in a HUGE way. Some big blocks, some big shots, but absolutely cocking the hammer back on Giannis right out of halftime was the highlight of the game.
Bucks gave everything they had in Game 3 with their backs against the wall, Pacers respond in Game 4. Series goes back to Indiana with the Pacers up 3-1. Time to finish the series and move on to the next one.
