Pacers Community Blame Pat McAfee for Disappointing Twist in Game 4 vs OKC

Pat McAfee has been the biggest Pacers hype man throughout this historic playoff run. During Game 4 of the Conference Finals, he sent the Indiana crowd in a frenzy by calling out several renowned Knicks fans in attendance at the Gainbridge Fieldhouse, including Ben Stiller, Timothee Chalamet, and Spike Lee. “Let’s send these sons of b—— back to New York with their ears ringing. Let’s turn this s— up!” While Pat’s impromptu speech worked that night as the Pacers won that game, his antics unfortunately backfired during tonight’s Thunder clash.

As Game 4 went back and forth, McAfee was once again handed the mic to hype up the crowd in the opening minutes of the fourth quarter. With his team leading by three points at the time, the former Indianapolis Colts star yelled, “Even though we’re up 2-1 in the series with home court advantage coming into tonight’s game, the Oklahoma City Thunder were favored to win the NBA title. Coming into tonight’s game, Oklahoma City was favored by six and a half points! That makes us the biggest underdogs in the history of the NBA Finals. That tells me that the sportsbooks don’t know, Stephen A. Smith doesn’t know!”

Sure enough, his speech left Gainbridge Fieldhouse roaring as Pacers supporters started tasting another victory. However, in a wild twist, the Thunder made a miraculous turnaround following McAfee’s speech, and ended up blowing out the Pacers to level the series. And frustrated fans quickly started blaming Pat for the loss, as comments like “Pacers let Pat McAfee have the in-arena Mic and immediately lost the lead” and “Pat McAfee really jinxed the Pacers” began flooding in.
