So 26 guys and gals don't have Giannis as a Top 5 player?

I hope this year shuts everyone up about 2021. Durant + either Kyrie or Harden in every game Nets is way way better than anything the Celtics will face in the East this year.

Reminds me a tad of Lebron in Cleveland v2. That Lowry/Demar Raps team or IT Celts were the toughest competition Lebron had in that period. I mean it’s impressive he made so many Finals appearances but the competition was pretty rubbish.

Celtics are really good, can’t take that away from them, but simultaneously it sucks that there’s really not another good EC team to push them.

Generally true. There is an interesting discussion/thought as to why the East was that weak. Pretty much all major FAs left to the west or chose to stay in the West for years leading up to that era. Pretty much until KD went to BKN (a year after LBJ went to LA) How much of that was because LBJ was in the East? Or how much was coincidence and/or superior weather in most West cities.

It's a bit annoying knowing a healthy Bucks would have likely waltzed to the ECF. What a shame

[Baddy Chuck]

OG gunna **** around and drop 50.

DiVo going off again! Damn I miss him. But the Knicks deserve him more because Clyde Frazier gives him the right nickname.

[BMatt07]

Really pulling for the Knicks.. I can't stand Haliburton.

[MikeIsGood]

Absolutely impossibly stupid to not call a TO and get OG out while you were 4-on-5 on offense, and instead wind up with a take foul on the other end giving the Pacers a FT (Knicks got lucky).

[rilamann]

That would suck if OG is going to be out for awhile.

With OG, the Knicks might have at least a chance of knocking out the evil Celtics.

This crowd is bonkers.

The playoffs really are about the survival of the fittest. Hopefully for the Knicks sake OG ain't done for awhile.

There are too many games in the regular & postseason. Obviously it's for $, but if so many stars are lost, not sure it makes cents.

Easily the weakest ecf since lebron left the conference

[midranger]

Both of these teams just play with a whole different energy, intensity, and intelligence than we do.

It’s actually refreshing to watch.

My brain is still wrapping itself around Brunson being this good, even two seasons in now. But, that aside, I hate how much I like these Knicks. It feels dirty.

100% on both accounts

[PintSizedBox10]

Brunson getting these weak ass fouls is so annoying.

[blazza18]

These missed free throws are brutal. Costing the Pacers the game.

[midranger]

Attacking defense. Attacking rebounds. Sharing the ball with the right pass. People moving off the ball. Incredibly clutch shot making.

It’s like watching the anti-bucks.

I like the players, not the fans. Don't want to see them get the satisfaction. MSG is the real mecca, I will admit however.
