I don't think it's a good idea.

Our issue is depth. We need to build internally, get a player, and trust our bench. That probably means a new coach.

Kinda like them they gutted the team to get carmelo.

What a run by Indiana. Took out Giannis and the #1 seeded Cavs and won both road games against the Knicks. I couldn’t have predicted this

It only gets worse the more minutes the series goes. Indiana controlling the tempo is killing these dudes.

Uh no. If they won by 20 you could say that.

Yep. Siakam greatly sped up our timeline. That trade just showed how much the FO believed in Hali and the team.

IND has always been anti tank though. This wasn't a bold decision by them

Do you guys even like basketball?

Let me go check the market size rankings so I know if I'm allowed to like a particular series

They do this every year. If it isnt a Cali team with a blue blood East team there are at least 10 threads on how bad the rating will be. Its very tiring.

Nah, it's not over. We have the upper hand now, for sure, but it's still not over.

When you think about it Carlisle actually deserves another chip.

Feels like tonight was kinda more the Knicks tempo than the Pacers.

Now, the Pacers can still make the Knicks tempo more draining by pressing full court the entire game, but overall, Pacers weren’t running as much as they’d like to.

Certain players you just can’t allow any time to waste. You strike while the iron is hot. Injuries can happen at any moment.

Lol.. i stopped watching when NY made that run to tie it despite being 10pts down... NY had all the momentum.

Ill check out the replays

At least Knicks fans have Judge hitting .150 in the playoffs to look forward to.

I don't think they were allowed to pay iHart what OKC was offering

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

People on this board make fun of casuals for whatever reason but you're not telling your wife/gf/friends I'm staying inside to watch OKC/Indiana if they want to go out.

Who wins?
