So happy for both Knicks and Pacers fans.

Seven game series in my opinion. I guess for me, I wonder who will drop a home game first as this is the series of Road Warriors. The Pacers and the Knicks are 5-1 on the road in the playoffs. Something's gotta give there.

Unlike last year we're healthy, Knicks in 5 or 6.

So you are saying a series win isn’t legitimate if the team isn’t healthy?

Knicks should be heavy favorites. They are healthy this time ans IND doesn't have the defense to keep the Knicks in check.

Happy for both fanbases. When was the last time the Knicks won in Indy during the playoffs? Must've been awhile, right? I know the Melo-led Knicks couldn't do it.

Sup bro, I think Hooked On Phonics went out of business so I'll translate for you.

I think he meant that we're healthy this year

No, I said we're healthy this time around, nowhere did I make a claim about the legitimacy of their win. I said, we're healthy.
