I really don't like Draymond on the court but he is good as an analyst and elevates the discourse with someone like Shaq

Don't see how anyone that has seen these two teams thought the Knicks were the better team. I thought it was going to be a dog walk from the start.

Knicks were always frauds and fake contenders.

Definitely getting outcoached, but we also had one of these games where KAT was the worst player on the floor, and at his salary, that's a killer.

They ain't lying tho.

Ratings for that series is going to be an alltime low

They're right but who cares? Unless you feel the NBA shouldn't have teams in places like Indy/OKC you need to accept the finals will sometimes have them matchup and the ratings will suffer.

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.

Exactly and to add salt to the wound Pacers went hack a Mitch for a possession who went 1/2. Completely killed any momentum.

You guys wanna pressure the NBA to move guys to your cities so bad lol. That’s the only reason anyone would care that much.

What an brilliant and enjoyable to watch performed from Pascal Siakam. Who said Spicy P couldn't perform in the play-offs.

He has been a terrific recruit for The Pacers.

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

Azcat was missing too xD. He's on the road in a bar I guess.

I’m in nyc for a wedding. Missed the game. My room is dead center on park ave

What chased Carlisle out of Dallas was Cuban's dysfunction, including his gambling analytics guy.

A part of Cuban's dysfunction was his coddling of Luka, who was already proving to be a brat and not committed to the defensive end. Easy to see how Luka would clash with Rick C.

Cuban's dysfunction was that he was an overgrown frat boy. That predated Luka.

Gambling guy had too much free rein, which interfered with Carlisle's authority and Luka got upset with how things were going.

All Cuban's fault. He enabled gambling guy.

Cuban also hired Nico, and Nico eventually iced him out. So Cuban got his in the end.

Yep. Siakam greatly sped up our timeline. That trade just showed how much the FO believed in Hali and the team.

IND has always been anti tank though. This wasn't a bold decision by them

We have always been anti-tank, yes, but we also aren't the team that usually trades for All-Stars. Going aggressively for a guy like Siakam wasn't something we usually do. But it definitely worked out excellently.

It works because it was a cheap trade...you didn't have to give up much. Didn't gut the roster, didn't mortgage the future.

They don't have anyone in the pipeline. Everyone knew it was a position of need for them. They'd have to trade one. How many 2-way scoring defending power forwards got drafted in the last 3 years? They don't grow on trees. Masai did a bad job not getting more for him.

Who wins?
