Eastern Conference Finals Matchup Set: Knicks vs. Pacers

[ctorres]

Now that the stage is set, what are your predictions?

[Jeff Van Gully]

Knicks in 5. Another closeout at MSG.

[GettinitDone]

I think Knicks in 5

Hali could be the reincarnation of RMiller and Carlisle is a helluva coach... but we are peaking at the right time... the chemistry, the camaraderie, the trust, the common goal, THE HEALTH... our belief gets stronger as we rack up more and more playoffs wins... our offense gets better and our defense gets tighter

[aq_ua]

How last year’s playoffs ended still annoys me. We’re going to have more scoring opportunities with the way the Pacers like to run, but we need to get them to play our game and tighten up the defense. I agree, we’re starting to hit our stride at the right time, but so are the Pacers. We need to hit them early and stay on them. I can still see this going 7 games.

[El Poochio]

We are favoured but I wouldnt underestimate them they are gutsy and a dangerous team

[Reign23]

We have an incredibly big chance to go to the NBA finals. You never know whats gonna happen. Maybe this will be our only one for years to come (again). SO PLEASE do not underestimate them under any circumstance. They are a really really good team, but if we click like in the Boston series, we are a tad better.

[spree2kawhi]

Knicks in 4. They are a very good team, but I think we got this.

[robillionaire]

I want Knicks in 5 but my gut is saying 6 or 7, and I’m going with 7 just because I’d like to see them presented with the trophy at home. So 7. But the series is in no way a foregone conclusion. I’m sure the guys who were here last year remember losing to them. Towns was in the conference finals last year, Bridges has been to the finals. Not their first rodeo either. They will have the correct mentality.

We just have to hope the pacers luck of everyone they play getting injured will end

[Ravenxvirall]

I want to crush these fools. Sorry pacers our whole squad isn’t in hospital beds this year.

[robillionaire]

Not that we even need help but hopefully the NBA rigs it so we win. Nobody wants to see the damn pacers in the nba finals. Ain’t nobody watching any pacers and Thunder series. Do the right thing Adam

[KnicksGadfly]

Game 1 might be ugly. The Pacers have all these tricks and gimmicks that the team might be thrown off by…the team has to be on high alert

[MrDollarBills]

We will win 4 games.

[Capn'O]

We are favoured but I wouldnt underestimate them they are gutsy and a dangerous team

Same.

Pacers play better in tight quarters than the Celtics so we need to play four games near our best to beat them. We're playing champion level ball though. Our last two wins certainly were.

I voted Knicks in 5 but they can easily take us 7.

[LookToShoot]

Knicks in 7.

[Spree2Houston]

Knicks in 7. It only goes 7 because Thibs doesn’t play the bench and the starters are going to be tired playing Indy’s pace in some of these games

[Enzo954]

Losing to this guy is unacceptable!

[Parraknick]

Knicks in 6 again.

They are good and might outplay us for big chunks but I like our versatility, togetherness and toughness. I think we’ll find a way in the key moments.

[LFGK]

Knicks in 5 just like it would have been last season if we didn't lost 4/7 top guys. Just like the Celtics gimmick offense of spamming 3's they have a gimmick offense of running up and down the court. 5 games.

[Davis18]

Knicks in 5.
We could have ended Boston series in 5 games.
Indy are much inferior.
Let's have some faith and just enjoy this series.
We do have a legitimate chance to win it all.
Knickerbockers forever!!!

[seren]

Knicks in 4. Gotta believe in this
