Again…

(1)What have I lied about?

(2)What have I been wrong about?

You have been sayin this for years , yet you have yet put one single thing on here to support your claims .


1. Once again why do you make it so easy to prove you wrong with yer own wurdz? You burped up this bullshit/lie in the past. No superstar's want to play for the Knicks because of the N.Y. media.

2. :laugh3: (what are you a comedian now?)

You need to take a five minute break or something.

No. We've been through this before. If OKC for example fails to win the title with all their players healthy, then they weren't the best team in the league. You can say they had the most talent, but that's where it stops.
If every team always played their best it’s easy to know who the best team. They generally don’t though, therefore people have to decide with their eyes and of course they end up playing like 100 games. I get what you are saying but the best team must certainly does not always win. Going to this year though.

The best team is the team that finishes the job!

You don’t get to PS by not being one of the best teams .

The team with the best chance of winning is the most talented team, but that doesn’t always happen..

So the best team is the team that outlasts the others who may or may not have been the best team.

Holy shit man why are you not an NBA head coach or GM?

Thanks Capt. Obvious!

I disagree.

This type of thinking is how teams get locked in with flawed rosters after 1 year of overachieving.

Best team doesn’t always win.

7 game series is still a relatively small sample size in which crazy things can happen.

They do win more often than not in the NBA, but certainly not every year.

The best team DOES always win. That’s why they are given a title for it that is valid till it’s no longer valid

They set the dates before they know the teams
Of course. I just think it's funny that thy still use this excuse with how easy travel is for teams now and how close teams in the finals can be. It's not the Lakers and the Celtics traveling coach every year any more.

Or it could be the Knicks year...and they just had a disappointing loss in game 1.
I do think they'll recover in game 2, and also win 1 of the 2 in Indy, then this series likely goes to a game 7.
Ouch

Only if the Pacers win

Pacers in big trouble if they lose. Can’t win the first 2 on the road and follow that up by losing both of your home games. Won’t say series is over if the Knicks win but they are back in full control
