Not exactly the 85 Lakers

- don;t want to start OKC dynasty
- don’t want to hear Mike/Doris/Richard on their collective knees sucking off SGA and Thunder
- I do think Pacers playing OKC tough does reflect better on Knicks vs a 4-0 OKC sweep would

I don't have dog in this fight but did turn on the game in the 4th when OKC had the lead and was curious if they can hold it. As it dwindled I found myself drawn to the drama unfolding like a thrilling movie. one possession game, time running out, Hali is doing his thing but not in the typical Hali Douche way he normally animates and Im like "This mother****er gonna do OKC and that crowd?" Damn if he he did not rise up to the moment and execute it. It was not MSG and I was not upset, but in awe. In a way it validates what he did to us as legit and not just a fluke. Its why Thibs leaves his guys in until the game is out of reach.

What's done is done and time will tell if Leon is making the right moves or not.

As for Nembhard and Hali, they are legit.

What NBA basketball has become I kinda hate. The fouls and the refs and the " can't breathe on these 4-5 players, it's a foul" but " these are the rest of NBA,hack away at your pleasure at them" I don't watch NBA outside of my Knicks. Now this relationship ( me and Knicks)can tolerate and withstand some tough conditions. The state of the NBA doesn't and cannot not take away from my Knicks interest.

Im very causal about how I watch other games. I was heading to bed and was checking the scores.
Im like this with most other sports. I check on baseball but don't watch. If yankees in post season, I watch some. If there is a high drama of players doing something special or a team, I might get drawn in. Im a fair weather type of fan with all but knicks.

Give we just played Indy 6 games in a row it pulled me in.

Siakam is probably the most underrated player of the last 5-10 years. This team really has no holes at all. Siakam gives them that deadly half court option when the game slows down, and when the game is fast they are as good as anyone. They play 5 out better than anyone not named the Celtics. Really just a tailor made team. Goes to show you how far "fit" can take you.

I suppose the only true hole they have is in the "power" department and they can get beat up on the boards like we did last year. They are small and weak 1-3. I thought we were gonna be able to exploit them with our wings size way more than we were able to do.

OKC took iHart out of the starting lineup to match down to them. I probably would have tried to bully them. The double big lineup was pretty effective for us.
