I spent 900 dollars for the Raptors finals in 2019 and had 0 regrets about it. This doesnt come around often so enjoy it while you can...


Yeah I needed this validation of the financial side lol thanks

Jalen BUMson choked when New York needed him the most! :lol:

We went from Knicks in 4 to Knicks in 5 to Knicks in 6 to Knicks in 7. I guess Knicks in 8 is still on the menu?!

Finally, we no longer have to see these C list celebrities anymore.

Congrats to the Pacers.

They abused Kat all night in the pick and roll because he kept playing drop coverage.

Thunder are favorites, but it doesn’t feel like a guarantee at all unlike previous years.


What is the rational argument for the Pacers winning?

There is none.

Again, i'm not sure you're seeing how brutal their defense is.

The Pacers entire game plan is to transition or run a double screen where they put Towns on the screen first and then Brunson. The lineups staggering Brunson and Towns have been better than those with them together


Yes its bad but overreactions like this is why you get an idiot like Nico trading Luka because of the NBA finals vs the Celtics lol

Is Carlisle going to have his Luis Enrique moment? Probably not, as OKC is so much better. But he deserves a lot of credit.

Bridges got quiet in 2nd half. That's one of the factors. Bridges had 15 points in 1st half. 0. ZERO. in 2nd half.

Hali got a bit of heat for smiling at MSG in the immediate aftermath of Game 5.

But it kind of reminded me of Brunson smiling and waving to fans in Boston in Game 5 last series. Then Brunson went and had a great Game 6, just as Hali has ended up having tonight.

They were the best duo in the playoffs and SVG was the best color guy across all networks. You’re really looking forward to RJ and Doris?

Knicks badly need another ball handler this off-season. Pacers exposed it.
