Round 3: New York Knicks vs. Indiana Pacers

[boomershadow]

TJ McConnell got his $200k bonus! For making the Finals! Obi Toppin could hit his bonuses, too (require him winning NBA Finals MVP!)...Good thing we traded Wiseman's salary and played the 15th roster spot empty off and on because we'll end up under the tax no matter what, but barely!

Let's make this happen for Obi.

Congrats to the Pacers. I predict OKC in 5. When SGA brings the ball up, they'll call fouls on Nesmith.

Seems like an extremely salty congrats to be honest.

?? I didn’t take this as salty? His honest opinion. Since there have been like 3 articles this week on SGA ‘foul baiting’ & why he’s so good at it?… thought it was a bb observation? but again, wouldn’t be the first time I was wrong,…. Today,…. and it’s only 6 am my time.

No premature woofing. One quarter to go.

I waited!


Holy hell, y'all! Love this team!

Also, PAY THE TAX! KEEP THEM ALL!

But seriously, Simon has said he'd be willing to pay the tax for a championship contender....if not this team, then when?!?

Congrats to the Pacers! Amazing!! Well done team!

Congrats to all the posters here as well! You guys have made a great community here. Have really enjoyed talking Pacers with you guys!

As Scoot said, LOVE this TEAM!

This has been a long, long time coming!

Now! Reset, focus, things just got tougher & we gotta level up! Go make HISTORY!

I don't want to let this thread go before saying this: I kept noticing during the series that Karl-Anthony Towns on the Knicks looked a lot like Perrin from the Wheel of Time TV series (which was recently cancelled). Congrats to the Pacers!

Lol, well of course, that makes sense, doesn't it?
He seriously does look like him though. Every time he came on the screen I would be thinking that.

Yup. That's citing Brian Windhorst and his reporting. Meanwhile Zach Lowe has reported similar, specifically that the growing minority owner of the Pacers, Steven Rales (recently up to 20% share from his previous 5% stake) would support paying the luxury tax as well. And if you want to support the Pacers paying the tax, watch The Phoenician Scheme in theatres this summer, as Rales is the fiscal backer of Wes Anderson films!
