I would've thought McConnell could've been the steadying vet presence to help them finish games, but they still fumbled that situation more often than not. Maybe they need a vet with actual playoff experience instead? Clearly Haliburton got flustered at times, but can't blame him for the last two.

They weren't expected to go this far, are ahead of schedule to some degree. They do need to tweak the roster further though IMO.

I really like the Pacers and I think they are as likely as Bucks or Knicks to be competing against Boston next couple of years. Maybe even in the best spot. They play so so fast. Most athletic team we saw for sure.

The Lakers are the glamor team, they will always have lots of casuals and haters. They’re like the Yankees and Cowboys

I would not put the cowboys in that space. They have not been a winning franchise with high number of rings like the other two.

Yankees have that rich past, but only 1 title since 2000. Maybe all Steinbrenners aren't created equal...

That speed turned to sloppiness in some very key moments unfortunately.

They ran Boston ragged. Sharpened them up in some ways. Poise wins tho.

The Cowboys have 5 Superbowls, behind the Pats and Steelers, and tied with the Niners. They are still often called America's Team and definitely get preferential media treatment even when only mediocre.. Yes, they are a glamour franchise.

But they somehow maintain the level of hate and bandwagoning of the other 2.

Yankees haven't won a title since 2009. I'm aware the Cowboys it's all the way back to 1995.

Coming up quickly on 30 years since the last one. They are your Dad's glamour franchise, if not your Granddad's at this point.

I like the Pacers and think that they are fun to watch. But, unless they play solid defense more consistently I think they are basically a one time flucke run like Atlanta. A healthy (and better coached) Bucks and the Knicks are better all around teams.

Not until Jun 6th. What if he's hit by a bus? It could still be 0.

Thus the continued high number of haters. Normally they would fade with irrelevance.
