Very hard to get two wins in close games against the "Clutch player of the year"
"I’ve seen a guy that played for the Pacers, gave them everything they had, or everything he had, and was essentially traded to the dogs. And I’m speaking on Danny Granger, who was one of the better players in Pacers history"

The Knicks screwed themselves in game 1 and probably hasn't recovered.

Eat the chopped cheese after wiping your tears with it. Extra seasoning.

Carlisle is an elite coach. Luka chasing him outta Dallas years ago needs to be talked about more.

The way Knicks lost game one was so demoralizing to the point where they can’t possibly recover. They’re psychologically defeated. Almost a reverse of what they did to the Celtics.

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

A ton of them were saying they had the upper hand on all the western conference teams as well lol. Mind blowing. I don't see this pacers team having a real shoot at OKC but to over look these teams cause they made there first ecf in 25 years if funny. Riding high

I still love that we have him, don't get me wrong.
:D

I wanted Dyson Daniels, and I still wish we had Dyson Daniels that draft. The trio of Nembhard, Nesmith and Dyson to rotate on defense.

Missed opportunity.


Dyson is indeed amazing, not gonna lie.

Still, I love everyone on this team, man. I am so freaking happy right now. My cat is gonna get all the petting in the world :lol:
