"I went nuts back in the day, 25 years ago, with the Reggie days. I loved it. I've been kind of away from it for a while, but they've brought me back with all this," resident Belinda Baire said. "These guys are phenomenal. They're just great, great players. Every one of them."

The watch parties have given residents at Glasswater Creek a chance to bond over their shared love for the Pacers, and it's brought back nostalgia for longtime fans like Baire, who recalls the glory days of the "Reggie era."

Other residents are looking forward to the big game, hoping their team will come out on top. "I just hope we didn't use all of our mojo. It's going to be harder being there. I think it's going to be a close game," Resident David Adler said.

"They're so good. I have faith they're going to win the next one," Linda Isenberg said.
