I can assure you that the bucks don’t care where Giannis wants to go.

I love this from Mitch. I feel like he grew up a lot in the past couple of years. He took care of his body really well while he was hurt, came back stronger, and is taking this loss very seriously. He was a big reason we almost turned this series around. I feel confident with him as part of our future.

There was another guy much uglier than me wearing an identical outfit with similar hair one section to my left. I need to go through and zoom in but I’m definitely on sports center. My friends and family texted me during the game to say hi.

Were you directly under the basket or in one of the corners?

If the Nuggets could win with Jokic on defense, I see no reason we can't win with KAT on defense

We have the talent, but are lacking cohesion. We don't need a massive overhaul, we need a few tweaks

Personally I think it starts with Thibs, either he has to change (lol) or he has to be exchanged. He simply is not good enough at adapting to his players and finding creative ways to work around flaws. Then we just need to make some margins moves, ideally Kolek and Dadiet develop a bit to the point they can play next year, and Aller works his magic to find a couple of back end guys to fill out the roster

The team is good, I'm actually pretty optimistic going into next year, but again I do think our ceiling is capped with Thibs.
BaF Lakers:

Nikola Topic/Grayson Allen
Shaedon Sharpe/Malik Beasley
Keldon Johnson/Jett Howard
Cam Whitmore/Taylor Hendricks
Alex Sarr/Kyle Filipowski

Bench: Clint Capela/Bojan Bogdanovic/Leonard Miller

But last years squad if healthy destroys that years Indiana. Indiana got better...without adding anyone of note. Perhaps we can as well...get that "familiarity" bump. But we'll need an identity first.


That's the key there, you're saying that Indy has continuity and got better, I agree. Hopefully after licking their wounds these Knicks will be more in sync, add value to this experience, as Indy did after being swept last year by Boston.

25, 25, 25, 29, 31.

27, 28, 28, 29, 30.

The Pacers starters are entering their prime. Ours approaching 30. They've destroyed us 2 playoffs in a row. Try again.

Last playoffs they "destroyed" us? :lol:

I mean, they didn't really this playoffs either. We're an off bounce from going to G7 at home right now.

Jeez. We're not close here. We had home court and lost in 6. We got destroyed. Somewhat better than swept, but not close. If I'm being generous to the roster and players I'm fine saying game 1 was a coaching loss ... he's the worst in game coach in the playoffs, maybe the league. But even still he'll be back next year.

And I do not believe at 67 years old that popovich needed the president of basketball operations or team owner to teach him how to coach.

Its all just homer delusion, people claiming a roster of soon to be 30 year olds -- most now with injury history have "lots of room for improvement" :crazy: :lol:


Improvement involves changing the way that we play. None of these guys are old.

Why are they just going to decide to do that? They had 90+ games and a full season. It's the second time losing to the Pacers that'll really get them motivated? :lol:

They are what they are, so is the bench oyster coach.

Find it hard to believe bc on the exterior Towns seems like such a good teammate but who else could he really be talking about.
