I'd love to see Knicks vs Nuggets in finals.

Haliburton annoys me but they are a good team. Arguably a great team. Pascal has flourished, Nembhard has grown into a very solid player. They play a lot of guys and they have all bought in.

If you actually take a look at who they beat in the playoffs it is not that impressive....Bucks first round last year, Giannis injured every game....Dame & a hobbled Middleton, 2nd round a not so good Knicks team without OG/Randle due to injuries....Brunson/Hart/DiVincenzo as their best players...When they played an actual good team in the Celtics they got swept 4-0....
^If that impresses you cool...
This year Beat a Bucks team who was basically Giannis and a bunch of C tier level role players, Dame out most the series made it not that hard of a team to beat....Now against the Cavs they are beating up on a injured Cavs team where its just Mitchell/Allen and a bunch of role players...
They have not really beat anyone worthy of being impressed by...I get you play who is in front of you but lets not act like they have done anything impressive by beating up on injured teams with minimal talent because of injuries.
Now if they beat the Knicks or Celtics next round while they are both healthy, While beating a healthy Nuggets or a OKC team in the finals....You can brag about them being a "Great" team.

Seems like someone who can’t admit they are a good team. How’s Cam Whitmore doing?

And the Bucks back to back years without Giannis and now without Dame. Knicks last year with bodies going down game after game. Wtf kind of sacrifices did the Pacers make for this **** to happen?

They traded for Pascal. I'm not sure they can afford more high end talent, aren't they already going to have trouble keeping Turner this summer?

The Pacers should resign Turner barring him asking for Pasal Siakam money. I think they’ll look to move Obi Toppin, TJ Mconnell, and Ben Mathurin (due for an extension) if they’re worried about finances.
