Myles Turner shouldn't earn more than $5 million per year playing professional basketball

The system or the 50/40/90 player at point guard

The system or the undersized power forward that can guard Kareem
Having an undersized 25 ppg played (27 in playoffs) and 6 AST who has a bunch of injuries during the season at PG = getting a ring? :jbhmm:


Cats just say anything when it comes to coaching. Even if you have a bunch of stars, coaching is just as important cause you’ve gotta make them work together as a unit. As we have seen with all these superteams getting smoked

We still on this okc gonna sweep either team in the finals?

Like we didn’t see okc having the easiest path to the finals, we all saw how trash the griz and wolves were. Nuggets with Malone might of pulled it off. Everyone in the thread saying Randle trash, gobert trash, ant not a superstar.

Im not saying either team gonna beat okc, but its gonna be far from a sweep.
OKC’s defense is too elite, 1 on 1 or team defense they got it all. All those silly turnovers and fouls both teams commit won’t cut it against OKC. Nobody on either team can stick the best player in the league either. Call it a gentleman’s sweep then, they’ve been on another level than everybody from game 1 of 82, similar to Boston in 23-24.

Yup they needed that nuggets series

I don't see any team giving them any issues going forward

4-0 or at max 4-1

Too many weapons

I thought Tyrese was "the next Steph Curry", I thought he was "the next Reggie Miller"...dude laid an egg last night at MSG like a fukking duck

stop disrespecting Steph and Reggie with these comparisons

Steph and Reggie have killer instict, win or lose they goin out swinging, Tyrese barely took any shots and was smiling on the bench like he's a pretty boy or some sh1t, no homo

but please get this fraud tf out our face

there's a reason his own peers voted him most overrated, it's not a conspiracy

Indiana better pray they win in Indiana because we know damn well Indy doesn't wanna play a game 7 in New York

They'll have to get riot police for a game 7 in NY for the ECF, saying New York would be lit is an understatement

Haliburton won’t be held to 8 points at home in a potentially series-closing game.

The Knicks have to expect a determined Pacers team to show up. And the home crowd will do everything it can to energize their team.

What the Knicks have to do is maintain a deliberate pace to the game. You can’t run up and down the court trading baskets with Indy.

Five games in, it looks like Thibs has no answer for Indy’s press coverage and harassing of Brunson by Nesmith. And to be fair, Brunson has still managed to score. But given that pressure, if you can’t solve it schematically then I think Thibs ought to encourage his guys to attack the basket and get the Pacers in foul trouble. If the Knicks 3s aren’t falling in Game 6, and they’re not going to the line…it’s gonna get out of hand quickly.

Also, KAT and his stupid fouls is driving everyone crazy.
I can definitely see KAT with two dumb, needless fouls in the first 5 mins of game 6

Knicks can beat the Pacers and OKC
It wasn't looking good for us against Boston. They said we'd get swept and we packed them up. If we can come back from 2-0 against the Pacers and if we can come back from 20 points back 3 times against quality teams, why not? It's not going to be easy but we have a shot.
