These Pacers have no heart

Divincenzo just said to Myles Turned 'F you, you lil bish'. Imagine being a 7 footer letting a little ginger white boi say that to you smh. Couldn't be me.

edit: I guess this makes more sense now



edit 2: oh no, I think it was even worse. Upon further review, it looks like he said 'F you, you HOE bish'. lmao yikes.

DPOY getting cooked by everyone lmao

[Michael Doleac]

Joel Anthony > Rudy Gobert

This dude is TRASH

I was thinking exactly that as I was watching soft ass Indi. Even if the Knicks get swept, they have the best chance to hurt someone on the Celtics.

Wild series

[3ammy3uck3ts]

I can not believe this dude has 4 DPOYs, biggest fraud in the **** league

[marson]

Naz Reid is the pefect 4 that can pair up with Bamonte Adebayo

[marson]

We did not get beat this bad in Denver last finals

[Wiltside]

Jokic really is something else huh

Jokic really is something else huh

bubuu buuuuutt Bam can limit him.

we have the best defender vs Jokic

If I'm elected as President, the first move I would make is to ensure that any person that steals Rudy Gobert's DPOY trophies is not charged with a crime.

Also I expected a lot more from Anthony Edwards, especially after his Game 4 post game comments. I don't care if you're double or triple teamed, and it isn't about a win/loss, but the great ones find a way to impact the game.

I don’t hate on Rudy for Joker cooking him. Joker is the best. When the lights shine brightest he makes any of his defenders look bad. Joker vs anyone one-on-one is a bad match up.

Also, what makes Rudy elite is his team D. His man D is solid vs 95% of the league. Joker however, is heavier, stronger and quicker w elite decision making. All-time greatness in our presence.

My biggest concern w the pups all season has been the 18th ranked offense. The last three games are a testament to this. If Ant ain’t going off they can’t win in the playoffs. Also Ant’s playmaking is still a work in progress. Finch/TC need to add shooting and improve the offensive flow.

Getting this close and losing sucks but it beats the hell out of 30+ years of a **** product. We comin’ bishes.

For Sure Goph'! As unlikeable as Rudy is to the public, he didn't get four DPOY's by chance, that man's a force to reckon with.

Minny's still up next, just gotta deal with Joker in the meantime. Last year Denver said that Minny was their toughest challenge, wouldn't be surprised if that pattern repeats this year

Man, fat kid chosen in the second round is the best player in the league at its most talented point in history

Antman has to blow up every game and drag this team to the finish line. I hope hes up for it.

Jokic gets everyone man. He averaged 30, 14 and 7 against the Heat in the Finals.

Now hes averaging 30, 10 and 9 against the greatest defensive player of his era.

If we want to speak on general trends that we should assume to be true and thus influence future perspective:

1) Jokic vs anyone one-on-one is a bad match up

2) Rudy Gobert's defensive weaknesses are consistently exploitable in the more competitive rounds of playoff basketball thus rendering him anywhere from neutral to a liability when it matters most

These 2 things are known to be true.

Not my DPOY.

Dom, who you got in the OKC/Mavs series?
