Pacers are the new king of the East. The OKC of the East. They’ll be the favorites next year and beyond

Can there be a Knicks/Wolves 3rd place tournament? I'd be far more interested in that :lol:

Pacers....seems like I really wasn't familiar with your game...
Or more like they found another gear because I did not see that coming

OKC-Indy could actually be exciting

Irrecoverable Game 1 choke from the Knicks. Seems destined for permanent infamy.

League in panic? OKC vs IND Finals. Small markets.

2 down, 2 to go.

Plenty of games to play. Knicks have been amazing on the road, so the Pacers need to keep it up or else Knicks will take home court right back.

I said it before, Rick Carlisle is the new Popovich. The torch has been passed ever since he got the buzz cut.

Stop with the flopping stuff man. Every NBA player does it.

Brunson has perfected the art like Embiid. Iverson didn't flop, was basically destroyed when he drove to the rim, and played with multiple injuries all the time.


Iverson was a pioneer in the jump sideways into the defender foul bait. It wasn't as flagrant as modern players but it was more common than you remember. People just didn't understand how much ball handlers played to the whistle back then.

Playing seven guys against Indiana is just asking to lose.

Where you been Chuck?


Was watching the game and trying to do some writing. It was so intense, I just couldn't keep up with the thread.

I know KAT isn't a defensive stopper and his +- was bad but you have to get him some burn before you are desperate. He may have come back in and brought a spark but Thibs waited until it was like 2 mins left. The man hates to make substitutions.

The Knicks court jester LGFK or whatever silly name said we were in for a rude awakening playing a healthy team.

He's garbage man


I do think our starters are exhausted due to the lack of bench minutes. And I believe someone outside the rotation could have improved if he gave them time on the court in the RS consistently.

How would the Knicks aquire giannis? Wouldn't they have to give up a lot of depth to get him?
