The tank narrative gets weaker by the year.

Congrats Spicy P.

thunder in six. pacers can probably take a few home games off them

Taking OKC 5. They're still young and will drop a game for it. Possibly 6 with a good Pacers variance 3 game.

[Boogie!]

now who gets the eastern conference mvp?

Probably haliburton for the narrative but would love to see siakam get it.

[Syd-TK3]

now who gets the eastern conference mvp?

Woulda been siakam before that hali stat padding

[mdenny]

So I guess Nembhart gets the sga assignment?

[Coco Costanza]

Why is everyone so on board with OKC? It's their first Finals. At least the Pacers can say they have a player that won a championship recently.

[GIZMO]

I am so happy for Spicy P!

Man....I usually don't even pay attention to games that have this big a margin. But this game was thoroughly enjoyable from front to back.

Not sure what the Knicks do from here. Is it gonna be possible for them to turn KAT into a more winning type of star?

It's almost like they would've been better off with Randle in most of these games to be honest.

It's begging the Bucks to take KAT and Bridges for Giannis or they're screwed.

Not screwed in a way that they won't go far in this now extremely weak east, but this is a Ray Allen/Cassel Bucks level team when the east didn't matter at all.

And they were fully healthy (but exhausted due to Thibs)

[Basketball_Jones]

Well I knew this was gonna be a blowout. Typical Knicks no killer instinct.

Because they’re just the better team. Defensively they’re elite and they’re just as good offensively.

now who gets the eastern conference mvp?

Haliburton was the driving force of Indiana's offence (21/6/11 on 57 TS% in the series) and hit some massive shots while Siakam played an excellent all-around game (25/5/4 on 60 TS% in the series with great defence) and three games of 30+ points in Pacers wins. They both deserve it, but I think Haliburton gets it due to the narrative of him being "the guy".

wow Pascal

[FrozenLeafz]

WOW LETS GOO

[WuTang_CMB]

holy shyt congrats pascal

[Boogie!]

Yooooooooooooo

[Tripod]

Nembhard only makes $2M. What a bargain.

Need contributions from rookie contracts.

Next year 18 million.

Atta boy Pascal!

[DonDoolie]

Said it then will say it forever. We got **** robbed in that pascal trade. Absolute robbery. Congrats to Pascal happy for him!

[Boogie!]

The bucks would be insane to do this though.

I think they'll have to trade KAT for a lesser talented player. Ironically, someone like Randal.

Kat just screams to me the kind of star that will never win a chip. Crazy to watch him argue with other knicks after the play in delineating responsibility for a breakdown. It would be scary if he actually doesn't know these plays were his fault.....but it's probably more like a refusal to admit blame.

I get the sense that his teammates really don't like playing with him.

Congrats P…
