Luka showing Antman there's levels to this

Yes, rent free as I discuss the game that literally just ended. You are beyond clueless.

You sound like you didn’t watch the game at all judging by your posts.

It’s just bizarre how upset you get over him. It’s hilarious how you’re rooting for this man’s downfall. Also a bit pathetic.

You can call me clueless but you’re the one that took a 6 year break from this forum. Most likely because your posts aged so terribly. I’m surprised you’re still posting on here after Pascal just got to the ECF.

I watched the entire god damn game, enough with this, it's literally the only argument you ever have.

He choked the game away in regulation by playing the worst possible defence imaginable on JB, and then JB stripped him on a spin move down 4 with like 35sec in the game.


But hey man, keep up with the fan fiction if that helps you. It seems as though I'm rent free in your head, weird how that works right?

No, you didn’t watch the game and you have no idea what you are talking about. Pascal was not getting blamed for that defensive possession by anyone who knows basketball. Brown just made an incredibly tough shot.

Wow, Pascal had a turnover while down 4. What an insane choke job. If you actually watched the game you’d know what happened before that. Nesmith fell out of bounds, Nembhard made a poor inbounds pass, Hali took ill-advised shots and had a crucial turnover. The fact you are pinning this on Pascal just shows your inability to be objective. It’s hilarious how you blame this one on Pascal and yet make excuses for a guy like Scottie because he’s “tired.” Honestly, it’s actually comical at this point.

You post with so much anger that I can just picture you smashing your keyboard. How many keyboards do you go through per year? Maybe it’s time for you to enjoy the sport of basketball and leave your feelings and emotions out of it. You’d find people would take you a lot more seriously if you did. You would also likely be a lot less angry. You might not think this but it’s actually embarrassing how obsessed you are with certain executives and players on this team. This obsession makes you appear as if you’ve completely lost the plot.

Pacers should’ve won that game last night and it most certainly wasn’t Pascal that cost them the game.

Massive win for Dallas. Just got home court in this series. This is going to be a great series. Mavs have the size to deal with Gobert and KAT and they got elite creators in Luka and Kyrie. Minnesota will have their hands full.

[Basketball_Jones]

Gonna be a close series. Dallas is so well rounded and balanced to go with two elite scorers/playmakers. Minnesota has so much size and shooting. I think I give Minnesota the edge if Edwards can step up. Washington/Jones/Hardaway have to falter at some point imo. And perhaps McDaniels too. From there I give the edge to Edwards/Towns/Gobert.

It really is close. Really tough to predict. I feel like Dallas having a legitimate 2nd option in Kyrie is the deciding factor because they also have a great supporting cast. I wouldn’t have said that prior to them getting Gafford and PJ. Crazy to think these guys were available and OKC did absolutely nothing.

[TorontoBarneys]

Hard to win a game in today's NBA shooting 24% from 3 and taking less than half the 3s of your opponent, but they did. I think Minnesota has more to worry about in upcoming games than Dallas does.

[Pointgod]

These playoffs have shown why you have to get multiple creators and at least two high level creators in addition to guys that can play D and hit open 3’s. Its interesting the different configs of the remaining playoff teams but there are some consistent themes that remain.

I don't know that the Wolves are all that worried about homecourt advantage. They won 3 of 4 in Denver, and 2 of 2 in Phoenix

They were the underdogs in both of those series though. Now they're the favorites in the WCF.

That psych shift is a lot of pressure for a young team to overcome.

[WaltFrazier]

Pacers Celtics both play 5 out, lots of threes, space the floor. It may be the coming thing in the NBA but it makes for boring basketball.

Pascal keeping them in this game

[Brinbe]

jaylen always been the true alpha on that team.

but tatum will always get the benefit of the doubt because that's the guy the league wants to market

[ForeverTFC]

Pascal went off to end the half. 10 pts in the 2nd. Shooting 90%.

[TorontoBarneys]

Siakam absolutely carrying

[ForeverTFC]

Pacers better hope this isn't who Haliburton is. Can't build a team around a guy who's scared to shoot half the time. He's 5th in FGA in the first half for the Pacers. He needs to step up in the 2nd half if Pacers want to have a chance. Siakam can only do so much by himself.

[Scase]

Pascal keeping them in this game

He's the only reason this isn't a complete blow out, credit where credit is due, this is currently a carry job.

[Duffman100]

Jeeeeesus. That fadeaway was tough

[Brinbe]

PSKILLS

[deck]

Jesus. Siakam.

[tanuki1031]

Siakam needs help. He's the only one out there playing like it's a game 7, every other Pacer playing like it's game 7 of the regular season.
