NBA 2025-26 Season Thread: THE NY KNICKS ARE CHAMPIONS! BING BONG!

Shai v Brunson grift off would be funny. I said a month ago half-jokingly that Indiana might be the only team that could score on Oklahoma. We may find out

Yeah, this feels like 1999-2000 all over again. "Oh hey long suffering Pacers' fans, really nice team you got there, would be a shame if it...ran into a dynasty in its first year in the finals"

Pacers should be favorites in the East next 2-3 years, but yeah West’s winning the next 15-20 Finals.

Knicks 117 Pacers 112 tonight

I’m really curious what the Spurs do this offseason.
- All-in trade for Giannis
- trade for Durant
- draft Harper and keep Castle
- draft Harper and trade Castle
- something else!?

Think you gotta play it out like Okc did. Make and lose in the playoffs then see where you can patch the holes.

The Spurs did this in the past too. Rather than big signings or trades they drafted really well. Had rotation pieces with the 20th something picks all the time.

I believe in saving the war chest for when the war starts.

Presti probably pissed Jaylen Williams made 3rd team.

The Knicks don't want none of that smoke!

lol knackz

Tried to tell you, Pacers are legit

Nah Thibs is the terrorist and Ty is, well, Haliburton.

The Siakam trade is looking like one of the best acquisitions in the last several years. Completely forgetful for most.

Pacers are the team of destiny. They actually would benefit from a slow methodical pace vs the Thunder as they have a clear advantage in halfcourt offense. You don't want to run and gun with the Thunder. Oh and glue Nesmith to that pathetic fake MVP free throw merchant SGA.

Derek Harper ain’t walking through that door.

They'd benefit from a bad case of the flu hitting OKC i think. Not really sure where, if anything, the Pacers have an edge in that series.

They've gone up against Giannis, Mitchell, and now Brunson tho, so if they're able to close this out, SGA is sort of the final boss in guys who are going to get to the line

Knicks don't have what it takes.

Too soon.

Felt like Pacers had zero equity vs Lakers at the time. I think they have a shot vs OKC. I'll give em 30%.

1. I allowed RT's Haliban post. Pretty funny.
2. Pacers definitely have equity vs OKC. 30% Sounds about right. OKC isn't great in the halfcourt. Pacers don't seem to give a **** who they play, everyone would expect them to lose -- so they'd be playing YOUNG WILD AND FREE!

I'll give them like 18-20% which is what the market will give them

Their offense is great at picking on the weak links (Towns/Brunson/Garland/Mitchell/The Bucks whole team sans Giannis)

Problem is OKC has no weak links on D....Not exactly a hot take but looking like a anti-climatic end to the season.

Rolando Blackman ain’t walking through that door.

His head looks small.

Pacers could legit sweep the Knicks.
