Eastern Conference Finals Matchup Set: Knicks vs. Pacers

[Meat]

I wonder who's guarding who? Is bridges on Hali? If so that'll determine the series basically

[2020]

Losing to this guy is unacceptable!

Yea I hope KAT gives him the business and gets him into foul trouble all series.

[Iron Mantis]

How are they pre-crying before the series even starts?

And we still took them to 7. That’s why I don’t respect these bums.

[dukeknicksirish]

They’re going to leak out on every shot attempt, make or miss, so we need to be strategic on who crashes the glass.

If we get them in a half court game, I would like to see OG take whoever is going to screen Hali to get a switchable set like last series.

I like the fact they more than likely can’t go “wing on KAT/big on Hart” due to Hali not being a great defender and Nemb being a bit undersized. KAT should be the most impactful player for us this series on the offensive end. We know they’re going to send the kitchen sink at Brunson, but with Myles having to guard KAT, our spacing will truly be 5 Out and I can’t wait for this !!

Turner is not posting up anybody to score, it’s not his game, Mid range and 3’s are what he takes, so if we switch, I’m fine on whomever he gets switched onto. Get a hand up on his closeout!

I think they use their depth to try and wear us out. I am taking us in 7, mostly due to their at home success and their pace.

Game 1 at home is a must win. If they come into MSG after our huge win and take home court advantage it would be embarrassing. We have everything in our favor game 1, we can surprise them but I don't think they can surprise us.

[H_20]

Knicks in 6 to be on the safe side. Still mad at the Pacers for flexing on us last year considering all the injuries we had.

[LFGK]

I have Knicks in 7.

The Pacers are a well-rounded team and Hali is an exceptional talent - the type of talent you can't really predict or contain. He can dominate a game taking only 10 shots.

The Pacers have this annoying, private-school basketball team arrogance, but they can also scrap and play dirty. They're winners. And they have a championship coach.

There's a lot to dissect, but overall I think it's going to be a close and chippy series, with some wild runs from both sides, and some heated moments. I expect an emotional rollercoaster.

I think we win game 7 at home with Brunson or KAT having a monster game.

The hali glazing is disgusting. Have some shame.

I know you can't help it but nodope and1ing this is the real disappointment.

Career 17.5 and 9 guy the love for this guy is nuts, man is a decent ball player to me he's the 8-10th best PG in the sport and SEVERLY overrated

But they are different this year and have BENNEDICT Mathurin...people talk about this guy as if he's Tracy McGrady, watched him all playoffs and the way ppl talkin about him had to go look up the numbers, laughable.

[knicks94]

The Pacers are our little brother.

[Signature NYK]

Not that we even need help but hopefully the NBA rigs it so we win. Nobody wants to see the damn pacers in the nba finals. Ain’t nobody watching any pacers and Thunder series. Do the right thing Adam

If the league has its way then it'll be Wolves vs Knicks in the Finals.

By far the most intriguing matchup storyline-wise

Antman in the Garden
KAT reunion with Minny
Randle's revenge on NY
Donte's and the Nova Knicks (cue At&t commercial)
Thibs vs Minny
Liberty beat the Linx last year, too
Brunson fulfilling the prince who was promised prophecy
And even Gerson Rosas for the truly tapped in

Would be fireworks...


But we both gotta handle business before that...

Knicks in 5 is my prediction for the Pacers series...

Why do you have expectations.

We're two of the worst people on the internets.

All good storylines but let’s be honest here…nobody cares about the Liberty and the Lynx.

Am kinda shocked you have a lot of faith in the pacers tho. We took them to 7 last year with half of our roster gone. Not discrediting hali who’s a legit good player but outside of him and Siakam they don’t really have any talent to score with us. And KAT has legit dominated against them all year. This is the most confident I’ve ever felt about an opponent lol

Obi???

[MrDollarBills]

Should Tom open the rotation up to counter the fact that Indiana uses like 10-11 players?
