2025 EASTERN CONFERENCE FINALS: #3 New York Knicks vs #4 Indiana Pacers (IND leads 3-1)

[SpreeS]

How would Curry look if he was coached by Thibs since day one?

Trying to compare curry and Hailburton is comedy. Curry can perform on any system because what he does is elite its levels. Hailburton was team USA’s biggest cheerleader for a reason

Hali is a pass first point guard. He's gonna make the players around him better naturally. Curry is elite because the system and players around him push him to another level. Why can't the same be said for Hali.

BTW just saw your location makes sense. Jordan Hill or Hali?

Curry shooting is the system which opens everything for everyone.

Curry is elite because curry is elite. All eyes on him soon as he passes half court in whatever system or team you put him in. You can’t even put Hailburton in the same breath.

Jordan hill

Curry is better than Hali and both of them are better than Brunson.

[DaGawd]

damn coming this close to the finals/a chip just to watch us slip away right before your eyes really sucks… rather lose in the first round lol

Happy for Siakam... will always remind all the dumbass GMs and fanbases who didnt think he was worth trading for...

Don’t think people thought he wasn’t worth trading for, they just didn’t wanna trade a ton for a potential half year rental.

[Marrs-Law]

So, are we more excited for nesmith on sga or dort on hali?

If he can’t stop Brunson he definitely cant stop SGA. This is a terrible matchup all around for the pacers. From top to bottom. Chet defensively alone on Siakam is game changer because their is no advantage switch for the the pacers from any position

We'll see. It's possible I underrate Chet, but he's skinny like Wemby...Wemby recovers with length, but Chet's wingspan is 6 inches shorter. Throw in a little post-game and fadeways, and I'm hopeful an elite championship-winning number-two has a mismatch. I like that.

Oh, to my understanding Chet's biggest attribute is defending the rim, though I'm not super familiar with their defensive scheme. If Chet's helping off Myles Turner to protect the rim against Hali or whatever, we will be shredding them with open threes. I'm very hopeful we can abuse the front court. It's getting by the backcourt that's the issue.

Yes, Haliburton didn't play because he was injured during Team USA, and it was never announced, but he had an MRI. So you're right, there is a reason.

Dude is just salty. Even if he wasn’t hurt what would it say about Brunson? Couldn’t get in over the dude that barely played

[Caped Crusader]

It was a 1 in 1000 victory. They will need 3 more to beat us.

Every team we play will be deeper than us with a better coach than us but our 1-5 talent is greater than all of the teams left. That alone will win us this series. They played great ball and it got them down 14 with 2 minutes to go before a miracle happened. Miracles won’t happen every game but their poor defense will continue. Their defense will be a constant. I’m not worried about it.

you said it yourself. every game is a different game.

why do you think the way they won this game has any bearing on the next? our team is better, our 1-5 are better, and their defense is bad. even before nesmith had an out of body experience Indiana was playing a good game for them and they were down 14. that's what playing well for them gets them, down 14.

they have no chance unless you expect 4 scenarios like the last 2 minutes of this game to happen 4 times

You sound really really really Salty.

Anyone’s saw LFGK and RHODEY ?

I can swear I just saw 3 figures near Barclays, might be them with Mikal trying to rescind the trade

I'm here big dawg, not a joke like you....nets still suck and irrelevant in the sport

[RaptorPride]

How many versions of this Will Ferrell PayPal commercial did they film?

It's weird that comedy movies are basically dead and now you have guys like Will Ferrell who made a career out of them doing low grade commercials.

I feel like movies in general are dead, and only the big budget productions can still draw people in. It's sad.

It's cause you can't make jokes anymore

I like this Knicks team but they're missing a big piece, like a KD.

Yeah he was on his contract year Pacers gave 3 #1's and Bruce Brown, Jordan Nwara. I was against it at the time because of the the 2026 #1 pick. But the trade worked out fine as Pascal Signed a long term deal. I didn't think he'd sign.

KD would be an awful fit on this team. The last thing they need is another ball hog.

[basketballwacko2]

Yeah like "If only they were a super team!" They traded to get OG, traded to get Kat, then traded to get Bridges, that's a lot of draft picks going out.

Yes Curry is a all time player but what makes him elite and possibly the best PG ever is the system that he plays in/built along with the depth and players the Warriors got him. You think Curry has the same career winning if he was drafted by the Knicks?

They’re missing 5 First Round Picks to make solid moves this offseason

Thx for Mikal Knicks

Haliburton is Rondo with a jumpshot.

He might be Penny Hardaway.. I dont think theres a great comp.. dude is one of the smartest point guards to play basketball

You might almost say, "Tyrese Haliburton is a basketball genius."

Great call.. He's everything people thought Lonzo was..

[Capn'O]

So, it's been two games now since New York inserted Mitchell Robinson for Josh Hart into the starting lineup. How do you all feel about that?

I feel that Robinson has been less effective as a starter but, on the other hand, Hart feels much more impactful off the bench.

Our winning lineups vs. you guys have featured length and defense. We slow the offense and then get the ball to _either_ KAT or Brunson.

Mitch in the SL helps some of that but lineups with Wright, Shamet, and Deuce let us slow your pace, get into half court, and let our scorers take charge.

Y'all have been a handful though. Stopping the run is easier said than done.
