this is over tomorrow night, then on to Boston. Looking at the roster I think the perfect guy to trade for would be D Murray, give em 2 first. People will say he plays no defense but he sure did in San Anton(Tropic Thunder :lol: ) under pop, NOONE plays D in Atlanta especially w that bum T Young next to you. That kid would adapt buy in and fit in so well here.


Brunson/McBride
Murray/Divo
OG/Hart
Randle/Bogey/Precious
iHart/Mitch/Sims

not sure if $$ can make it work but good god man we would bulldozer the league next season.

This position that we're in is exactly what we would want coming into the season. Up 3-2 with an opportunity to close the series out in Game 6. All we have to do is seize the opportunity and we're going to the Eastern Conference Finals. Let's do it!

They say series don't start until a team wins on the road. Well noone has won on the road in this series, I guess we'll just have to do it in Game 6... which means the series start and end at the same time for the lolPacers...

thats what I love about these knicks-even when they dont have a good game -9/10 times you can see the effort...


Donte just had a bad shooting game, but he still played good D and had 7 boards, 4 assists, 3 steals, another crazy block, and a couple great dunks while being our Joe Pesci.

So far in the playoffs Donte has been either hot or cold. 5 games from 19-35 points and 6 games of 5-9 points. Nothing in between.

He is definitely our biggest X Factor offensively, assuming Jalen is healthy, but yes at least he does other things when his shot is off.


Dream scenario Donte shoots like he did game 3 for 35 points, and Jalen has one of his great games also, with 30+
There goes my hero. Watch him as he goes.

Not that crazy a dream - if the Pacers try to blitz and trap JB, Donte will always be one pass away and could have a big start. That would force the Pacers to go back to a soft trap and help off Hart, which would allow JB to run pick n rolls with whomever is being guarded by Haliburton and roast that match up.

the growth in Donte this year has been so significant that I actually consider him more valuable to the team than josh hart.
