You’re not wrong, but our 15th man can take your whole roster.

Man out 15th man (PJ) is only on the roster cause he can scrap lol

Second round doesn't work out so well for us. CF was usually better.

Bruh congrats on the second round but I’m afraid I have double bad news for you

1 Obi Toppin

2 Pacers in 4 Tops 5

Again with the 4 Tops. Same old song.

I like our chances in this one Arky. Knicks looked like a very high level team tonight. We're a bit inconsistent though and these Pacers are very disciplined and well coached. And they can run run run. If you don't bring your best game they'll beat you and they can win close too as we learned last year.

Can Mitchell be an X factor in this series too? That's a big key.

I said tops 5 , I gave you some credit this time , can you appreciate it ? :lol:

On paper of course you like your chances more than against defending Champions Celtics , no doubt

But I actually watched more Pacers games than Celtics games this past season , and they have hugeee momentum

What’s works in Knicks favor game 1 , Indiana might come rusty , coaching wise Thibs isn’t near Carlisle , he can adjust and coach circles around Thibs

They're tough but we're also tough and I think our talent wins out. Brunson is on a mission.

Knick’s in 5

The Knicks were built to beat the Celtics. I think with how little Thibs uses his bench and how fast the Pacers play, the Knicks may be in trouble if the Pacers are hitting their threes. Unlike the Celtics the Pacers actually have a closer so holding onto huge leads won't be an issue. Knicks might get ran out of the gym. I think there's a very real chance the Pacers win in 6. I'm rooting for them as I enjoy their brand of basketball more. Whoever gets out of the East is good enough to win it all

A team built to beat the Celtics is a team built to beat any in the league. Knicks had no issues with this Pacers team last year before the OG injury. Now it’s a fully healthy team with OG, Mikal, KAT and Mitch. Knicks will have the best player in the series. This could be over in 5 for the Knicks, but since they have a tendency to not stay focused, it could easily go 7.

Does any team 'have the ability to stay focused?"

I feel like I hear this about every team.

Look no further than the difference in defensive intensity between G5 and G6. The energy was much different from the team. Took them getting their ass kicked to get it together. Was something we saw a few times this season.

I got the Pacers in 6, but if NYK can prove me wrong, that's even better.

We'll never be enemies, mate. We weren't enemies last year either. On opposite sides, yes, but not enemies :wink:

The Pacers are a tough team to play against. It could be a 7 games series with a slight advantage for Indiana IMO

SuperflyKnick · Post #120 » by **SuperflyKnick** » Sat May 17, 2025 10:27 am

This is the same Indiana Team which went to 7 games against the Knicks which was lost 5 of their top 8 Rotation players to injury. Given the revenge factor and NY knowing they should have won and played Boston instead. Now same team who added Bridges , KAT with a healthy Robinson, Hart and OG along with having the best player in the series in Brunson this series should be over in 5 , but given the Knicks lack of focus sometimes pushed to 6.

Who wins and advances to the NBA Finals?
