Why do people hate Indiana all of a sudden?

[Rik Smits' Hair]

The game threads are full of whining fans from teams not involved in the game. Every loss or bad game we get the overrated talk.
Is it because ESPN started claiming Indiana as a threat to Miami's reign?
Is it because people think that the players get more hype than they deserve?
What is the driving factor in the surge of hatred?

Who hates them?

Lebron stans? yeah why is that a surprise.

OKC are a very likeable team but they had plenty of hate from time to time. Thats part of being a top contender. All of them get hate...apart from maybe Spurs.

[crunk-juice]

people hate good teams, nothing to see here.

[maybeshewill13]

It's because all the Lebron stans and Miami fans here are scared

[gin17]

only lebron stans can have this hate on the pacers. they are a good, respectable team

[Kblaze8855]

The pacers are among the least hated on to teams in recent memory. Most everyone respects the pacers or don't care either way

Just like you who keeps on hating on lebron and Miami because at age 29 Lebron officially surpassed 36 yrs.old Dirk Nowitzki and Jason Kidd.

Their record vs teams over .500 leaves a lot to be desired. They are a good club but getting overrated playing in the East.

You can blame ESPN for pretty much any hate any top team gets. With the Pacers they overrate them and act too much like they are some unstoppable team simply because they dominate trash teams and do above average vs good teams.

If The Pacers were in the West they'd be competing with Portland and the Clippers as the 3rd/4th best team.

LeBron surpassing Dirk?

He had his chance and failed miserably.

[Blue&Orange]

Lebron Stans got on OP's head, how sad... needs to be put down.

Dirk is a top 25 player of all time. Dude choked in the first round of the 2007 NBA playoffs and he was outplayed by a 6"2' Baron Davis in that series.

LBj is currently rank higher than 1x NBA MVP and 2x Finals MVP Hakeem and Kobe.

There's a difference between hating a team and thinking they're overrated. But after observing ish behavior for a while, I'd say it's LeBron haters and Indiana fans so that if they take out the heat they can clown LeBron for losing to a less stacked team or start propping up Paul George as a superstar who carried his team to the finals.

I hope it's not heat/LeBron fans saying that cuz they would be doing it all wrong. They gotta prop up Indiana so that if the heat win they can say that LeBron finally beat a more stacked team.
