And what did this show other than Walton running Kerr’s system?

Kerr's system. Or the 19 HOF players?

Did you have GS winning the title in 2022 with Wiggins as the #2 option and Kevon Looney as their only big?

Did Coach Kerr motivate Wiggins/Poole to turn up. Or did they do that on their own?

The culture that Kerr help cultivate motivated Wiggins to be his best self, when he couldn’t do it under any other coach (you’ll notice 90+% of role players who’ve played for GS have played career-best hoops). The system that Kerr created covered up an imbalance in the roster having to deal with Looney as their only big man.
That’s coaching.
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.

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.
