They literally don't start watching the NBA until the playoffs (aside from Kenny). Kind of pathetic. It's why I tend to tune in like 3 minutes before gametime.

What was the NBA without Knicks/Pacers? Let's GO!

I do wonder if we'll see some OG on Turner just because he can get going from the outside against us. It's happened in a few games before where he blitzed us and we didn't recover. iHart is better on the perimeter but can likely stay with Pascal.

Yeah it's kinda strange that they seem to watch less ball than we do! LMAO.

Inside the NBA is a good show because of the entertainment factor, but when they actually try to talk basketball it's clear they are handed material about all non-Lakers teams about 5 minutes before they go on air.

You going against your own team?


Without Randle, to me, everything they do from here on out is gravy. I try my best to be objective about the NBA from a talent perspective. If he was playing, I really think they could have won the chip.

Nembhard is an agitator too. We'll see if he and Brunson get into it during this series.

Yep. Wouldn’t surprise me at all if that’s his goal. This series is going 7

I honestly thought the Pacers would start Nesmith on Brunson. They don't have as much length to offer as Philly did with Oubre, Batum and Tobias.

This isn't particular to Brunson, but I don't like that something like that is a shooting foul. Brunson clearly had no intention of shooting there. He was only trying to draw contact.

If you go by the literal definition of MVP, Brunson is far and away the MVP. But MVP isn't looked at just by the literal definition unfortunately.
