Credit to the Pacers going out and getting Hali a co-star in Siakam and not waiting for one to ‘develop’

Siakam is the real son of MJ

MJ is diving into broadcasting just in time to see his son become a champion again :lol:

You can’t win a championship if your best player is 5’10.

It boggles my mind that the Knicks have no confidence in KAT when they made the trade to get him instead of iHart.

The Magic routinely paste the pacers.. too bad they aren't ready yet.

Brunson has perfected the art like Embiid. Iverson didn't flop, was basically destroyed when he drove to the rim, and played with multiple injuries all the time.

Iverson was a pioneer in the jump sideways into the defender foul bait. It wasn't as flagrant as modern players but it was more common than you remember. People just didn't understand how much ball handlers played to the whistle back then.

Yup I remember that, but he was also constantly fouled, and it wasn't the small type either.

It just doesn't fit the Pacers style of basketball imo, they pass more than any other team in the league, he's like the antithesis of that. Though it is interesting if they strike a balance with him for that when they need it. Not sold on it at all yet.

It's true, he's the one awkward fit on the team. He isn't a selfish guy or anything but he just isn't a natural passer nor does he naturally make quick decisions.

I still love that we have him, don't get me wrong.

I wanted Dyson Daniels, and I still wish we had Dyson Daniels that draft. The trio of Nembhard, Nesmith and Dyson to rotate on defense.

Missed opportunity.

Dyson is indeed amazing, not gonna lie.

Still, I love everyone on this team, man. I am so freaking happy right now. My cat is gonna get all the petting in the world :lol:

Go choke on one loser

Sensitive...

Eat the chopped cheese after wiping your tears with it. Extra seasoning.

Knicks fans don’t deserve thibs. Carlisle is an unbelievable coach, top 10-15 all time easily. No shame being outcoached by him. Knicks fans should have Fizdale back or maybe hire mazzulla or doc

Series will be good but ratings are 100% gonna be awful
Most casual fans have already tuned out of these playoffs. Take NY out and there's barely anybody left

Even though Pacers are up 2-0, I just don't think this series is over. Both teams are so evenly matched. It's been the small margins with each win. This series can flip just like that.

cavs4872 · Post #1036 » by **cavs4872** » Sat May 24, 2025 2:41 am

Why does NY even take a timeout to draw up a handoff that takes too much time off the clock? You have to catch and shoot off the inbound.

Don't let his flopping ass headsnaps fool you

Lol this is coming from someone who hates his flopping more than you and anybody else on this forum…he was fouled, no doubt about that, especially if they call the Hart foul on Siakam’s drive earlier and the KAT foul on Hali earlier too… don’t get me wrong, those were both fouls but so was this one

Jadoogar · Post #1040 » by **Jadoogar** » Sat May 24, 2025 2:42 am

Teams played themselves when siakam was on the trading blocks. Raptors ended up trading him for a bunch of trash. Basically any other team could have beat that offer
