Ladies, we have us a playoff series, in fact many. Great playoffs this year

So.....hot takes are generally stupid and mine are no exception, lol.

Solid response. I've had my share of those too.

On the first page of this thread you said NY in 7.

Stop lying.

I have a fan duel bet where I have Pacers in 6 lol i don't like for the sport of it like you do

The fuck does this mean? If you said NY in 7 here how can he think otherwise?

It means I got real money on the pacers. That’s what it means

OK but if you post NY in 7 here that's what people think you mean...so then later you say you have Indiana winning, good for you but it's hard to keep up. Maybe remember this next time you accuse someone here of "lying"

Ftr....I'm still going with the Knicks in six.

They're back at it on Tuesday for game 5 in MSG.

It’s over. The injuries are getting out of control for the Knicks. Pacers in 6

Carlisle putting Nesmith on Brunson as the primary defender is masterful coaching.

Brunson is just 9 of his last 27 FGA' since it happened.

Doesn’t that also coincide with Brunson fucking up his ankle as well?

Think you are giving it too much credit.

Putting a long athletic wing who can defend on a smaller guard who is torching you is about as elementary as it gets. My question is why wasn’t Nesmith guarding him earlier in the series?

Playing against a longer, quicker opponent is pretty hard.

Trust me, I know a thing or too about that!

Sure, but it shows he can make adjustments.

Wish the Lakers had a coach who knew how to do that this past season.

LOL.

LOL.

Is that directed at me?

Because that adjustment you are calling coaching mastery is something any middle school coach would do.

Put your best perimeter defender on their best guard.

Carlisle is no better than a middle school coach now.

Who knew?

Did I say that?

No.

I said you are praising something that really is just plain common sense.

You really should just let this go.

Middle of the night last night reality set in for me that a Pacers/Nuggets finals could still happen, and that I will in fact need to pick a team to root for... Going to be tough.

At no point did I ever realistically envision this ever happening, even back in 2013...

Even if it is exhausting to have both my teams in the final eight, still going to enjoy the show and it will be fun if it comes to having a rep in both conference finals.

It won’t happen.

Pacers might get by the Knicks.

But they are riding an incredible streak of good fortune playing opponents at well below their best.

Short of multiple major injuries for Boston, the Pacers odds of winning that series is pretty close to 0.0%

So don’t lose sleep over it.

Bigger game tonight for the Knicks than it is for the Pacers. If the Knicks lose at home stick a fork in them. But I think the pacers could bounce back after a loss tonight
