I’ve seen him play. And I said that one time. Maybe it’s hyperbole?
I don’t get why it bothers you.
But you do you.
If he bombs next year you can remind me of it.
But OKC is a dynasty in the making.
He’s another piece to an already great team.

Consideration for the worse trade ever ?? Gobert is terrible in almost every game in the playoffs except 1, where he had 20+ points and rebounds
If I am OKC, from what I am watching no way do I make that trade- they don't need Giannis and Holmgren is a very important piece for them the way they play
SGA don’t have to worry about that now. MVP and playing for a ship. If they end up winning he will be even bigger with a finals MVP I’d say.
Knicks up 10 early. NBA will do everything it can to help Knicks win 3 straight for ratings n nba finals.
I don’t really care much about who wins but I guess I would root for NY just because of KAT.
More than anything, the NBA just doesn't want a series to end 4-1. Not that they wouldn't love NY being in the finals, and I wouldn't put it past the NBA to move some franchises around (just look at the NBA draft)..
Hope the Knicks can extend it tonight. And hope KAT doesn't pick up a couple of his usual stupid fouls and put himself on the bench. A Game 7 at MSG would be awesome, although it's hard to picture either of these teams giving OKC much of a fight.
Pacers match styles with OKC much better. Not saying they can beat OKC, but the series would probably be more fun. I probably won't watch much if it's the Knicks. I can't handle much more of Brunson turning into a RB, stiff arming people, giving himself whiplash, flailing and falling down. Dude is too talented for that crap. Play basketball.
I’m not saying Shai does the same thing you said Brunson does but everyone else is saying that so if it was NY and OKC that would be a terrible game lol.
I feel like Brunson is a lot worse. He's a heck of a player no doubt but some of the stuff he does is just nuts. There was one play earlier in the series where he grabbed the Pacers' player's arm and flicked it up and hit himself in the face with it trying to draw a foul. LOL Doesn't get more absurd than that.
Superstars feel like they're entitled to EVERY call and they play like they expect to get it. Luka and Jokic are two of my favorite players and it's maddening to watch them flail their arms up in the air every time they're touched. But that's where we're at in the NBA. It's one of my few gripes with the pro game.
The GOAT Kevin Harlan on the call tonight.

I hate the supposed ball pressure defese that is basically pushing and holding every possession.
Pacers are spreading NY out and making them pay! It’s rocking in there. The NBA regular season has a lot of weak games 8n it but the playoffs are so legit.
Indy just got mauled on two possessions in a row with no call.Superstars feel like they're entitled to EVERY call and they play like they expect to get it.

He’s a bad MF but I feel like he hurts the team sometime because they rely on him so much but you are right the flailing and stuff they do to draw fouls is terrible, the leg kick is the worst.
Hell of a quick run by the Knicks, but man the Pacers fast break is nasty fast. They get a rebound and throw it up the court so fast.
I think the Knicks are running out of gas. And Brunson is just sloppy. Another game of over dribbling, and not taking care of the ball.
No lead is safe in the league with good teams though, watch this be a flagrant.
Mark Pope needs to take notice, you might as well play this crazy hold and hack defense as long as the refs are going to allow it.
There is 0 reason not 2, we have a deep team just keep fresh legs in and be up in their grill every play.
Most teams are playing this way now in college so why not.

Good, that was a basketball play. What terrible transition by NYC there, leads to a Pacers bucket. Great 3rd quarter by the Pacers.
Even IF the Knicks could pull this off.. I just dont trust them in game 7. Brunson scares me. I knoe hes had some 30/40pt games but thr Knicks often look better when he doesn't have the ball in his hands.
Maybe Indiana just sort of lives in his head from last years series?

The real killer here is Toppin is just burying this game the last few minutes after being drafted by the Knicks during their crap years haha.
Nembhard absolutely cooked Brunson defensively. Holding him to 19 points in an elimination game is some crazy work by Nembhard.
Wonder when those 2 games were played. The Pacers were a pretty bad team early in the season.
OKC will probably win the series but I don't think they will sweep them. Hell people said the Cavs and Knicks would sweep the Pacers lol.
Chet Holmgren didn't play in either of OKC's wins vs. the Pacers.
I'm glad the TNT Inside the NBA crew will stay intact in the move to ESPN. Please keep Screamin A. Smith and Perk away from it though.

Going to be a tough matchup for the pacers. Okc is basically a much better version of the same team.
True but the Pacers stand a better shot than the Knicks would have. Pacers love running just like OKC does. They will put up a lot of points too.
But OKC has the best player on the court in SGA and that will probably be the difference. IF the Pacers steal at least one of the first 2 games though...could get interesting.
But OKC in 6 is my guess right now.
