Series Thread: Eastern Conference Finals: (3) New York Knicks vs. (4) Indiana Pacers

[Pastafazul]

Thibs defense is only as good as the players he has to execute it. Your statement had me visualizing Thibs on the court trying to defend the Pacers lol.

he needed to do a woody hayes on neismith!!!

 

[thunderc]

I just don't see the Knicks losing both home games before going to Indiana.

Orange and blue skies, baby!!!!

Me either but the Pacers look like a team of destiny at this point.

 

[logic]

KAT needs to have a big game tonight

Or not

 

[logic]

NYC has the most diluted perception of their importance to the NBA. The Mecca? I guess they have been about as important the past 50 years to the sport as Saudi Arabia lol.

I'm guessing you meant deluded. Nothing about NYC is diluted

And what was your thought on Boston losing both to NY before that series?

Ohhh yea. Go ride the subway, your wallet will be!

 

[tlance]

There isn’t a team that wouldn’t want him on their roster…

Same with KAT

That today is the definition of a superstar

Not the idiots who put themselves first

No, that is not the definition of a superstar.

Superstars are the elite who stand out amongst the other stars.

Simply wanting him on your team is a very low bar.

And that isn’t even true for KAT at his cap number.

So Brunson didn’t stand out when Tatum was on the court?

 

[Pastafazul]

Again, the game was lost by the Knicks cause they don’t have a coach that disciplined his players enough to know that when you’re up 10+ or whatever it was with 2:51 on clock ya eat up clock.

There is nothing more to say

It has been explained to you. You just don’t listen.

He is not an A list superstar. He does not have the resume.

Yet.

 

[DJ Fieri]

And what was your thought on Boston losing both to NY before that series?

Touche, that surprised me. As well as most NBA fans.

I just don't think the Knicks will. Call it a hunch.

Look, everyone has said that Brunson is getting very close, but at this point he is still associated more with his college success than his NBA feats. He is working on changing that.

 

[LogicMan]

Or not

Knicks were and are not overconfident like the green. I think they win tonite

 

[msgkings322]

Brunson might not be a "superstar" but he ups his game and numbers in the postseason.

The new Butler?

This is what I mean about the difference between someone who has had the experience… I get called a liar, and some will say it’s a completely different sport

BULLSHIT

Faced Henneman in instructional ball, ripped a base hit off him, he was as good then before he got to the show , and he was as good when he was there , all he did was mature age wise, but the talent was there , and they all knew what he would be.

Brunson, ain’t gettin better, he’s the same player who won a Nat chip, and all star, he isn’t extremely athletic, but what he doesn’t have in YOUR eyes, he makes up for it with court intelligence…

Dudes a silent superstar

I don't believe Henneman (whoever that is) didn't get better. He may have had the raw talent, but I'm sure his control, placement, and knowing what pitch to throw in given situations got better. That is what happens with professional athletes. Yes, they have raw talent, but experience teaches them lessons and they get better. Yes, Brunson has gotten better and his intelligence and leadership are what I would say are some of his biggest assets. There is no such thing as a silent superstar.

He was considered one of the best relievers in game, up for Hall, but did not get in.

Ok let’s call Brunson , Handicapped Superstar

Guy on ESPN is wrong like you are. Harden is no longer a superstar, but he was one 5-6 years ago. Same as Durant.

Difference is Brunson is on the way up and might get there, those guys are on the way down.
