Re: 2024 Playoffs Discussion Thread
Can't wait till Indy wins the series, and the haters don't give Pascal the credit, but cite the Knicks injuries.
Same people who called NN "Nick Tibs", most likely not going to blame the real Tibs for running his players into the ground.

Nuggets/Wolves started two days earlier than the Knicks series. Every other series has had two days between games.
OG isn’t making up a 30 point difference yesterday. Pacers are a good team. Some people were just hating on them because they can’t stomach the success that Pascal is having. This must be really tough for them to watch. Both these teams don’t stand a chance against the elite teams but I’ve enjoyed this series a lot. Been super competitive.
With OG Knicks would have won game 3 and been up 3-0. It's easy to look at game 4 blowout against a depleted tired team and say OG wouldn't have mattered in game 4, after it's over. But it's a whole different game going into it, if they were healthier. Not to mention Brunson hurt his foot game 2 and a couple of tweaks since. He's playing on one foot without his usual lift.
I agree Pacers are talented, and I like Pascal a lot. When you say people hating on them you mean a few people on this board. Taking a broader look you might acknowledge how depleted the Knicks are, down 4 or their top 8, and see that Indiana should be beating them by 20 every game if they were as good a team as they're supposed to be.
Game 3 was the game they shot 52% from three. They had an insane game from Donte and Burks shot extremely well. They weren’t doing better with OG that game. They shot the lights out.
Knicks built a deep team but they knew the risk beforehand. Half their rotation are injury prone. No one is surprised aside from Knicks fans.
Of course no one is surprised with this many rotation players missing and Brunson on one foot.
But to say they didn't miss OG game 3 just because other guys were hot, is silly. He scored 28 the game he got hurt, and his defense alone in game 3 would have turned the result
There goes my hero. Watch him as he goes.

Knicks are so short handed but I’ll take Divo/Deuce/Hart over Nembhard/Neismith/Siakam

Knicks on a nice run but refs stepping in to cut their momentum.
Like the franchise or not it's pretty cool how so many of their alums come to playoffs

Best HC energy in the league today. Golden State's long been up there. Boston, the Lakers, a few other teams... we had the crown at one point too imo. But the Knicks sit alone at #1 today. MSG's been starving for this.

Lol Brunson with a Lowry play and got away with it. Really similar player imo but just flat out better scorer and durable player

Can’t believe they called Nesmith on that foul. Clear foul on Brunson. NBA is salivating over a Knicks/Celtics ECF.

That's an interesting question. Does the league want the bigger market NY or the team that's more at full strength?.
