game looks so easy for pascal rn. I truly believe we made a mistake getting rid of this guy.


It’s okay we needed to give the keys to Barnes he has more of a bag. Pascal generationally horrible shooter.

Pascal with the spinning fade away off balance shot from the free-throw line… Classic.

Knicks aren't beating this Pacers team
2019 Eastern Conference All Stars

Derozan
Lowry
Ibaka
Valanciunas
Van Vleet
Delon Wright
Lebron
Embiid

There are only 2 teams in the league that rank in the top 6 in offensive and defensive efficiency: the Golden State Warriors and the Toronto Raptors.

It’s probably a good thing we traded that Pacers pick. It’s losing value by the second

Everyone was sleeping on the Pacers, wow what an upset.

No one figured it would be Knicks -Pacers rematch for eastern conference Finals.

lol they didn't choke. lazy reductive takes as always. they had major injury issues crop up with their two guards. injury luck is a big part of every playoffs including when we won. hali was playing like ass for like 18 months himself dealing with a nagging injury and he's playing great now that he's finally healthy.

Superstar Pascal Siakam dominates in game 4, and LEADS the comeback in game 5 on offence and defence, ultimately leading the Pacers along with Hali to the Eastern Conference finals for the SECOND year in a row.

Pascal is absolutely amazing at knowing when he needs to assert, and when to set up Hali. Hali obviously gets the big moments, but Pascal is still the better all around player.

Pascal Haters: we will keep hammering this home until you admit you were wrong about this player who has helped lead two seperate teams to the Eastern Conference finals a total of three times, and was huge contributor on a championship team as a young player (6 years ago).

Cavs choked injuries whatever. Didn’t Lowry have surgery after the championship run.
