NBA Season 2024-25

[Birdman]

Amazing how quickly this Minny team goes from likeable to hateable.


Show some composure would you please

Agree, think Antman rub some ppl the wrong way

I really hope Indiana wins the championship. I think they went 2-2 with OKC in the regular season.

OKC 2-0, just like they did most east teams this year, including us.
Been the thunders year all year, thinking the pacers could beat them is as bad/worse then thinking the mavs had a chance against us last season.

You said the same thing about the Pacers/Knicks lol Underrating the Pacers.

Indiana?s offense is going to tear this NY defense up.

Pacers stink?.knicks somehow making the finals

Jorge Sierra: Oklahoma City enters the Finals with the second-best point differential (regular season + playoffs) in NBA history. 1996 Bulls: +11.94 2017 Warriors: +11.96 2025 THUNDER: +12.55 1971 Bucks: +12.58 They are four wins away from entering GOAT conversations. ? via x.com

I mean a part of me still thinks both these teams in the eastern finals kinda stink, but sure Indiana has impressed me?not enough for me to pick them against the Thunder

Those Knicks 2nd unit lineups in Q2 were interesting

G: McBride
G: D Wright
F: L Shamet
F: J Hart
C: K Towns

That is a small lineup. Hart is what 6-4 / 6-5. Shamet is 6-7 but a skinny 6-7. A SG really. Delon Wright a combo guard. McBride a PG sized player. Four guards + Towns really.

Then they switch out McBride for OG Anunoby

G: D Wright
G: J Hart
F: L Shamet
F: OG Anunoby
C: Towns

Now they got their biggest most physical defensive backcourt. Still small at SF with Shamet. But good size at PF and C. A physical lineup. They beat up on Pacers. Roughed them up. Completely different approach to the previous lineup and to the Knicks Brunson lineups. It threw Indy off.

A 14-2 Knicks run to build their 14pt lead midway through Q2.

All allowing NY to bring back a rested Brunson in place of Delon Wright to finish Indy off for the half.

Wolves should try to make a trade for KD. Randle isn?t a good enough #2 option.

Fullcourtpass: Brian Windhorst on the Timberwolves and Kevin Durant ?It became clear to me in talking to the parties involved just how serious the Wolves were about trying to trade for Kevin Durant at the trade deadline (Via Hoop Collective)

[jpotter33]

lol bogus officiating. That?s a clear offensive foul that they call every time when the shooter puts his knee up like that.

[Phantom255x]

This half is the series. If Knicks win, they'll win Game 7. If Pacers win, obviously they move on

This half is the series. If Knicks win, they'll win Game 7. If Pacers win, obviously they move on

I definitely wouldn?t hand the Knicks the series if they win tonight.  Lots of road wins in these playoffs and Indy is definitely talented enough to win a G7 in MSG against these Knicks. That said, the talent disparity between these two teams doesn?t feel like much.

[Neurotic Guy]

Nice 2nd half start for the Pacers.

[Neurotic Guy]

Thomas Bryant 3-3 from three in 5 minutes.  Huge lift for Indy.  Also Nesmith continues to be an energizer for Indy.   

[Neurotic Guy]

Insane out of TO run for NY. Bryant misses an easy oop.  Looked like Indy might break it open. But no. 

[jpotter33]

These are some ridiculously one-sided whistles for NY.

Haliburton coming up clutch.
