Im here, that said I'm delusional as hell sometimes. But when it comes to this team im usually negative af. What helps is people more grounded than me are picking the Knicks and Brunson is HIM.

Turner had a pretty good series against us last year.

16.3 PPG 6.0 RPG 1.9 APG 2.3 BPG
53.8% on 11.1 FGA
48.3% on 4.1 3PA

I think his ability to score from anywhere within a flow of the offense & his rim protection has him firmly in the top 10 C rankings. I know there's def some fans on this board.

They have 3 of these "top 10 of their position" guys (Siakam, Haliburton).If talent is what drives success, they have it. Maybe not the highest caliber, but they're also deep as well. It's probably going 6 or 7 games.

Every series we've played in since we got Brunson it's been a dog fight to get us out of the playoffs, nobody has beaten us convincingly like 4-1, 4-0 etc, no matter the injuries we've had. The team that beat us last year is one that talked a lot of ****, they're going to get theirs now that we're healthy.

I'm pretty confident too. I think their main path to victory is through a frenetic style of play that we have the personnel to shut it down. We've got the talent edge on them and coaching isn't a huge disadvantage. Plus, we have BrunsHIM.

If the Pacers beat us, I think it's in no fewer than 7 games. But I'm optimistic we beat them this time around (in 7).



OKC's offense looks horrific, but like you said, they're allowed to play rugby will Shai flops around on offense.


I think the Pacers lose in 6, there's just so much history of slower teams dragging fast-paced teams into their battleground and turning it into ugly possession basketball. Then again, we controlled pace against them last year and were putting up an ungodly amount of ppg despite being injured :lol: Man, **** Indiana.


You're on a fcking heater right now. Controlling the paint like prime Shaq. Im here for this type of energy.


We haven't been this close to a title in a quarter of a century, my heart is full of nothing but disdain and contempt for the Pacers, their fans and any team or fanbase standing between us and that chip.

I would think that with the way the Pacers run and their deep bench that we’d use our bench a little more. Personally, I’d like to see Delon Wright get some burn. I like his size, strength, and defense. Plus, unlike Payne who is erratic, he’s steady.

But I think this will be dictated what happens on the court. I have confidence that adjustments will be made if necessary.
