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

[logic]

Knicks are really making my "Knicks in 7" prediction look stupid.

Sure, blame the pick.

Starting is highly overrated, it’s who is on the floor at crunch time.

Gotta be able to make it so there is a crunch time

In regular season yeah but in playoffs every minute matters and from what I read on friday night, the knicks starting 5 +/- is bad.

It is specifically the Brunson KAT defensive pairing.

When 1 of those 2 is off, the defense is good.

Carlisle doing a great job exploiting it.

And that is terrible for Knicks fans because those 2 are by far the best offensive players. They simply have to be able to play together.

Somebody on this board , will not mention name, tlance, highly disagrees with this statement …

No way, Obi Toppin, who has started games, who is not a starter , has any significant impact on a game, cause he’s not a starter.

Pacers have never been to the finals, pulling for them to get it done … If Minnesota can keep ballin like yesterday, and the Pacers take care of business, we could have 2 franchises making their first finals appearances battling for the championship … Gotta love that …

Nope.

I never said that.

I just called out your false statement.

Obi Toppin averaged under 20 minutes a game and started a few when the real starter missed.

While that is a significant role, calling him a starter like you did is simply not a true statement.

Must win for the Knicks

I wonder who lost in the 2000 NBA Finals

To be fair, it happened far back enough that a lot of older fans may have forgotten and a whole generation of fans has come along since then.

I remember it as it was the Lakers first championship of my lifetime.

Yes but it's not like the Pacers have made multiple appearances since then.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Looking forward to this one in a little bit.

We’re not all 85 like you

I hope we both make it to 85
