“I can’t believe my team went soft. S-O-F-T,” Bird told the paper. “I’m disappointed. I never thought it would happen.”
Asked to elaborate, Bird said, “That’s all I have to say.”
The Pacers a game away from elimination after a 115-83 loss to the Miami Heat. Pacers’ forward Danny Granger agreed with Bird’s take, adding that the team got “beat up,” and “bullied” in Game 5.
