2025 EASTERN CONFERENCE FINALS: #3 New York Knicks vs #4 Indiana Pacers (IND leads 2-0)

[JustBuzzin]

Who would have thought the kid who got no playing time on the Olympics would be 2 games away from the Finals.

I can no longer call him Halibutton he's Haliburton aka HIM!

[jkvonny]

Draymond "I am a big boxing fan"

We know

[Nuntius]

This Haliburton kid is well spoken too, no wonder he bags three snowbunnies while congratulating 50 cent

Maybe you know and maybe you don’t, but there seem to be a lot of people who do not know, so just in case, I’ll say it here:

That was Haliburton’s long time girlfriend and two of her friends. He isn’t a playboy haha.

I think one of them was even his gf's sister. It's hilarious how much people have misconstrued that photo

[xxSnEaKyPxx]

I think you can call the OKC-Wolves series over. Not this one. Games been close.

This one is over, Pacers stole BOTH home games. The Wolves were expected to lose both the first two road games.

Also, this is the Knicks. Cursed franchise and can’t get the W when it matters. Utterly disappointing really because they have the tools to do it but just did not match the Pacers’ effort.

Knicks are 5-1 on the road this playoffs and 3-5 at home. Homecourt means absolutely nothing in this series.

This.

Pacers have played better on the road than at home.

Anything can happen.

Do you guys even like basketball?

Let me go check the market size rankings so I know if I'm allowed to like a particular series

right, i don't get this obession with ratings. Who the **** cares? it's not like it makes any difference for you.

It's not even about ratings, it's about respecting your own time. Like, are you planning your night with your date or family around that Finals? Of course not. If my mom calls unexpectedly I'd turn off the TV. If my wife wants to take the kid to the park, I'm leaving. I would plan date nights/plans with friends around certain Finals game nights, I would feel sad for somebody who turned down any plans to watch OKC/Indiana

Such a casual take lol

If Mavs had traded for Siakam they probably would've won a ring last season. He's a near perfect fit with Luka but they though he wasn't worth it lol

Mavs are in the habit of giving away talent, not acquiring them no.

He had an injury on the Olympic team.

I’m not sure how much he would have played anyway, but yea.

They definitely matched our effort. What they didn't match was our execution down the stretch.

You are being a humble fan but deep down you know you are going to the Finals lol you guys don’t celebrate a championship after winning a second round series. Halliburton has a really good head on his shoulders.

Hard getting out of an 0-2 hole, hard as all hell but for whatever reason they play better on the road, 1 game at a time is how you have to look at it

Just want to give you credit for being in this thread right now.

Why would I not, I am a man...tough tough tough fcking 2 games and chances are the writing is on the wall but there is a big game 3 Sunday, they win and put pressure on Indi.

I’m a little disappointed, I would’ve preferred not being made aware of this..

[sortpar]

In my opinion, the Knick's lost so much depth and grit, when they traded or passed on DDV, Grimes and Hartenstein.

Which makes them also Haliburton's girlfriend

Good to know. Did not know. Yet, imma keep believing he’s a playboy.

OKC/Indy finals is a disaster for the NBA.

Great for basketball though.

Yep the most on the court pure entertaining basketball matchup out of the final four.

Would be a high intensity, high pace series

Including the playoffs, the Pacers are 50-20 in their last 70 games.

Just throwing that out there.

Wow what did I miss

No way you didn't see this game?

My dude, I have seen the Pacers lose in every way imaginable.

Until we have 4 wins, it’s anyone’s game.

Anything can def happen but unlikely, huge game 3 Sunday, Knicks win and put the pressure on Indi, for whatever reason they stink at home it's tremendous

[Jazz9]

I'm not even using "casuals" in a derogatory way here
Just saying that the average fan will not care about this series

So you believe the average fan cares more about the team name on the front of their jerseys than the player's names on the back? Granted the average fan wants to watch his home team and there are more people in NYC than the whole State of Indiana.

There's not gonna be any name, whether front or back, in an OKC/Indy series that's gonna have enough appeal to the average fan.
Even the new MVP isn't that much of a draw.

Doesn't change the fact that it's gonna be a good series (if that's what we get)

[bluemj32]

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

He's always been legit with his analysis. His podcast is good too.
