Re: Pacers Matchup
I had chosen Knicks in 5 and I think that's what it would have been if OG didn't get injured. Pacers lucky to be in a game 7 rn.
~I Believe!~

I call this sheer arrogance rather , injuries happen to every team , it’s part of the game so maybe when voting take into consideration that said roster won’t be perfectly healthy

but my point was despite OG (and others) getting hurt, knicks came close to winning game 3 and therefore winning in 5 wasn't out of the realm of possibility.

It’s hypothetical , if not for ridiculous referring in game two , series could’ve been 1-1
Example
Knicks fans , easy series a sweep , we get them in 4 tops 5
Pacers fans - tough series , but we capable to extend to 6 maybe 7 , win or loose
Who was arrogant and who was humble ? Who’s was right who was wrong ?

Nets have no picks this draft despite being one of the worst teams, Knicks have 3. Nets gave away the 3rd pick in this draft.

No anger here, just enjoying the visit from a Nets fan. How’s the Nets forum?

Nah man, you can't say its a part of the game, technically you're correct.. but not to the extent the Knicks had them. You expect to maybe be missing one starter or one bench guy or two.. nothing literally the entire starting 5 basically and 2 bench guys
And thats not even counting guys like Hart/iHart/Brunson who were playing while clearly banged up bad.

Well before Indiana series started you already knew Randle and Bojan won’t be coming back yet still predicted a sweep , or Knicks in 5 most of you
On top of it OG isn’t the Ironman , it’s well known throughout the league
With the usage Brunson getting it’s not hard to imagine occasional injury
Hart abdominal muscles injury was the least predictable, I’ll give you that
But looking at Indiana healthy squad , good coaching it was madness to predict the sweep , or like I said above pure arrogance

best matchup:
orlando
cle
neutral:
76ers
worst matchups:
Boston
miami
indiana
Miami/indiana/Boston are worst matchups because they have 5s that draw out ihart/mitch from he paint and leave the basket vulnerable to dribble drive
in particular we would be really bad matchup vs Indiana because not only do they have a 5 that jacks up threes, they jack up a ton of threes in general and our defensive philosophy of showing help, getting into lanes, and recovering out to the 3pt line is quite vulnerable.
76ers are neutral because I liked thib's gameplan vs Embiid earlier in the season which was to give him space eveyrtime to shoot jumpers vs letting him dribble for layups, fouls, and dunks

Re: Pacers Matchup
Indiana is going to face a heavy dose of reality once they realize that they are no longer playing against a team's c squad. A healthy G league team could have accomplished what they've had in these playoffs.
And no offense to the good Nets fans that post on this forum, but how is a poverty franchise that just finished losing 50 games allowed to have trolls?

The Pacers don't make the cut. They only won because we lost OG/Mitch and Hart/Brunson/iHart were playing through injuries at some point. Otherwise we would have won the series easily.
