gg Knicks fans. Could have gone a lot differently. Hats off to Siakam and Nembhard. Dominated on both ends of the floor.

We aren't frauds, overrated, whatever people wanna say. The Pacers have arrived. Let's go give OKC absolute hell

End of an era. No more NBA on TNT probably forever. I don't think there will be a TNT in 11 years

pacers also wanted to trade for OG before they switched to Siakam


It's bizarre to me that OG had a better reputation among fans and FOs. Siakam has always been the more dynamic player. He was just older.


OG has been playing better than Bridges IMO.

Cursed statement. It may be true, but that is how you know you are cooked.

His off ball movement was worth it, was a different wrinkle that pacers defense weren't locked in for.

But Thibs went back to the old let Brunson come down and create it. So pacers just pressured the hell out of him. Thibs kept it simple for them

Better than Brunson imo. Just a higher impact player all around.


Stick Brunson on the pacers, same result


Yeah, not at all.

The better team won, fair and squared. The Knicks will come back strong next year. Bring on the finals! It's gonna be a hell of a series.

One of these teams is about to win a championship for the first time. That is pretty cool.

Didn't the Thunder get to keep the Supersonics records, or did I completely misremember that? I remember that being a sore spot for some Sonics fans at one time.

No one other than a Knicks fan thought the Knicks would beat the pacers. Oops.


To be fair, G1 was 99.99% Knicks victory, so without that once in a lifetime miracle we would be now looking at a G7 in MSG. The Knicks are just there, and hopefully next year they will take the next step.


And the Celtics should of beat the Knicks 4 games to 1.

Sometimes **** happens.


Also remember the Pacers 100% gave away game 3. Were up by almost 20 for much of the second half and were at like 95% likely to win for a long time.

They were just better this series. Had no trouble creating offense with their motion and dishing.

They need to be way more consistent on defence. Even if they didn’t blow game 1, still think Pacers were the better team.
When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?

Please advise….

Yeah, not at all.

They are very different players, and different teams would want one or the other, I wouldn't blanket take one or the other. I do think Hali is probably more portable, but Brunson is definitely a better fit on some teams.

The Knicks beating the Celtics, then **** themselves against the Pacers was a hell of a plot twist.
