no

I figured.

I'm thinking that we have to make this a real grind fest to counter their pace

I know half of the forum doesn't like him, but I would love to see Kolek get some playing time in this series.

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

This is why you're the Voice of Reason

Only when we're up 20 with 3 mins to go.

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

Still too high.

His handle is wacky can't finish in traffic or handle contact. Is carried by his teammates. Not even going to address his defense. Im surprised he is even in the league. Completely manufactured "star" to appease all the nerds. He is everything wrong with modern basketball and is single handedly ruining the game.

Why do you have expectations.

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

Cant argue against those facts

[Stannis]

Knicks in Six just sounds too sexy.

This is the problem with Thibs. I'm not picking any specific players to be added to the rotation but, we have been running off the court in the second half of too many games this season because players were gassed. Players getting overuse injuries in December? Really? Non contact injuries playing the most minutes of their careers. Like... It's not rocket science. We needed to trust some bench players and let them find their roles here. Now we are 90+ games in and Thibs still doesn't care.

[Guano]

No one dislikes kolek. We just know he isn't ready yet. He is too weak and sure as hell isn't ready for playoff mins.

There is this thing around here that if posters aren't "homers" and point out somw flaws or have reasonable expectations they're labeled "haters" its kinda absurd. Kolek has a chance to be a decent player in the league. But its not happening unless he puts on some muscle, can play in the mud, and hold space. He is way to easily pushed around out there. Great vision, feel for the game, and his shot is nice. He flashed this year.

He has no business playing in this series, none. The series is going to be too intense for a rookie to get any time in.
