NBA: *** 2024 NBA thread ***

Sorry. I love this Pacers team, but they aren’t beating the Thunder. The Thunder just match up too well with everything the Pacers do well.

The truth is either of these teams and groups of young players will have "broken through" taking very few lumps compared to what most teams go through before they win a title.

Siakam is the only guy on either team who has remotely "been there". The next "been there" is Carlisle as coach.

Siakam was really good. Really good.
I think Ty had maybe more of a team impact.

They are such a team.

They aren't here without Nesmith and Nembhard either. Those guys were total dogs all series.

How many points would Siakam score without Tyrese handling and passing the ball?

i thought Nesmith was going to get it of anyone other than Tyrese got it. his game 1 heroics and defense all series. made a ton of big shots and plays.

Best month for the Iowa State Athletic Department.

tyrese can be finals MVP. nobody ever remembers who won the larry bird trophy.

Sounds like the vote was 5-4 Siakam Hali

i mean... if you factor in the crunchtime heroics this shouldnt have been close. but it also doesn't matter.

FerShizzle autocorrects to WeWill, that should suffice

Post game talking about what the Knicks failed to do not what the Pacers did. Who gives a F about the Knicks. Give this team their due.

About the same.

Brunson and those damn forearm shoves.

Siakam probably benefits the least from Hali on the Pacers. Hes an elite 1 on 1 player who has always scored quietly. I'd have voted Hali but the 5-4 vote either way seems fair without ISU goggles on

That post-game with Ty and Pascal was AWESOME!

 

[heitclone]

The TNT era ending with some F bombs. How long have they waited to do that?

Siakam raises their offensive floor a lot. Tyrese is what gives them the highest offensive ceiling in league.

Their world’s greatest clutch superstar is one of the worst defenders in the league and was less clutch than his opposing point guard.

He’s a great player but they built him up too much as savior of the city.

No arguments there. Vote was for the past 6 games and my point was if Hali, Siakam + 3 are on the floor, Hali makes the +3 individually a greater deal better than he does Siakam

I’m glad he lost it because this kind of stuff pretty obviously pushes him to new levels, but I might dig deep on stats and see which I’d pick in blind resume, but that ignores the clutch shot and the never been done 0 TO 35pt triple double.
