How about the Pacers taking down the Cavs in game 1? Cavs are down Garland. Not that they aren't still stacked, but take away a weapon and it makes them a little more vulnerable.
Also, when you get unusual performance from a role player: Nembhard, who hurt us last year, shot 5/6 from 3 this game. He averaged 0.8 3's made during the regular season at a 33% clip.
Atkinson will make adjustments... but it's not good going into game 2 in crisis mode.

She's like the WNBA's true answer Steph. (I used to think it was going to be our very own Ionescu, but getting former MVPs as teammates, she seems to have developed a conscience)
Did I see that Tyrese Haliburton was not smiling as much tonite?
He does that, is there any reason to dislike him anymore? LOL........
I want knicks to win. But, I'd rather Cav's win over Boston to be honest if it came to that.

Cavs vs. Celtic I really don't give two schnitzels who wins. Could care less about those teams
I'd be very disappointed in Jalen Green if I was a Rockets fan. He's too talented to crap his pants like he did in this series.
Hate the Hicks but they play beautiful team basketball. I give them a chance against the Cavs if Garland continues to be out.
Houston and Detriot are similar in terms of defense first teams that turn games into slugfest and struggle on offense. Rockets have a better supporting cast but Detroit has Cade. Jabari Smith has the tools to be an elite offensive player but feels underutilized by Ime. Jabari should be starting alongside Amen....

The problem with Smith right now is 1: He makes OG look like white chocolate with the ball and 2: His best position right now is probably the same position Segun plays. I think Houston might be at the point the Knicks were last year where they need to consolidate peices.

Green reminds me of Jamal Crawford when he got to the Knicks a talented player with flair whose mental approach to the game probably prevents him from being a star. I think they need to unload Green and start backing Thompson in earnest.

I think the natural progression is to make a consolidated move. FVV salary opens up many possibilities including him returning to a more market adjusted price. They and Milwaukee seem like natural trade partners at this moment. Maybe time for Utah to jump in also.
Rockets need not sell the ranch for Durant if that comes to into play.

True! Giannis. Durant. Randle. Markkanen. To name a few.
They definitely got options.
Kenny Atkinson wins COY. Maybe it's recency bias, but I'm relieved Bitcherstaff didn't win.

I can't tell if this is a pic of an ostrich or pelican but it got to be one of them.
Can't be a pelican if it was taken during the playoffs.
Didn't catch game and realize it ended with a Chet Scheiße bauen

But at least he is also thin on top. Could you imagine if he was buff on top with those legs ?
Ha
Still no Lakers in that pic
