Siakam Eastern Confernece Finals MVP.
Anyone going to dig up that “worst 3pt shooter in history” thread?

Meanwhile we traded him to build around the actual historically worse 3 point shooter

Congrats Spicy P.
It’s actually pretty insane when you think about it. The way that tWo has always said to build a team seems to never work.
The finals will consist of two teams that acquired their best players, never drafted them. Pacers did an incredible job of going out there and acquiring their two best pieces but also did a great job of surrounding them with the right pieces.
OKC relied heavily on a once in a lifetime type trade when Kawhi went to LAC. But Presti did a good job of also putting the right pieces around them. Certainly makes it easier though when you get an MVP caliber player given to you.
Finals are going to be fun.

I get the same sense. He's always lost on D, and is an emotional wreck, which is ironically exactly why they moved Randle.

It’s weird how much younger he looks in that raptors finals considering it wasn’t that long ago

It's because the Thunder in that last series have shown that they can score against elite defense, while being elite themselves.
The Pacers were getting scored on and losing to Delon Wright bench rotations.
The Pacers like to run, and turn teams over. The Thunder love to do that too. The only advantages the Pacers have is their ball movement and 3 point shooting. And the former isn't going to matter much because of how the Knicks simple offense ended up trucking them anyway.

Re: Official NBA General Discussion 2025-26 V1.0
Seeing pascal win the mvp and his performance this series just justifies to me why I always thought he was our actual best player and why we should have hung on to him. He was always the guy to me that you would be able to fit around whoever if you wanted to build a winning team… we just needed to get him another legit star instead of **** fvv “all star”

Looking forward to seeing Indy play this pressure defense vs OKC. They are known for offense but showed they can step up and play defense too.

Anyone catch Haliburton walking towards the front as the award was being announced, and stopping dead in his tracks when it was given to Pascal?
