What if bucks goes to 3 seed and knicks and pacers will go 4 and 5 seed. That would be inreresting!
From hearing the mentality of the pacers players like Siakam and Hali, etc they say they wanna “contend for a championship”, I would think they should look to go for the best seeding possible from a mental aspect of not wanting to mess up focus/momentum/rhythm as the regular season close, as the playoffs start up it’s best to be in rhythm and focused instead worried on matchups and trying to lose to drop back down and which could make things worse with pistons not too far off in their record at the 6th seed and from knowing their mentality of “contending” they shouldn’t be scared to play anyone because at the end of the day they gotta face them at some point if they wanna win it all, I’ll just say let it fall where it may from the basketball gods, don’t cheat the game
Knicks should fear Detroit and Pacers should want them. Knicks don't have a good answer for him. Nembhard with traps helping has been effect.
So relieving to not have to be stressed out late in the game.
Mathurin adding more defense and a bit more ball movement passing/playmaking is what would make him liable to start or close more often I think.
Devin Booker my hero
You need to consider the Pistons passing the Bucks for 5th.
just keep winning and playing good who cares about seeding.
Go Indaiana..!
Obi played 3 years behind Randle in NY. Obi wasn't treated fairly byThibbs. Randle could do no wrong from the Thibbs perspective. There's your answer!
Can you explain how Nembhard won’t have enough games? Hasn’t he played 55 games so if he plays the rest of the games won’t he have 66?
Have to get through Celtics to get to Finals anyway. Go for 3. Especially as Tatum will just be getting his bearings. And Boston could be upset in first, in which case home court advantage accrues..
Pacers will gentlemen sweep 🧹 Pistons in the playoffs. I like Cade but he couldn’t even bring the ball up the court against the Pacers in the regular season
Are we worried about TJs ankle going into the playoffs?
"Hey Tony lets get together to talk about the 3-6 seed so i can shit all over the team you cover from my ivory tower of playoff Ls."
Lmfao. This Knicks guy couldn't have been more professionally disrespectful. Typical NY blind hate. Meanwhile Tony kept it 100% honest and was as lovely as ever. Didnt care, didnt get tilted (like i did). Keep killin Tony. Locked on GOAT.
My take on Obie vs wolves is moreso playing against Randle who he used to back up on the Knicks. Is like a "revenge game" but instead of against a team, its against former teammate.
🔥🔥💯💯
Ignorant talk from the NY rep
Scared of the pistons more than the pacers is such a horrible statement
Enjoy watching ur bench play in the playoffs since thibs will run your starters till they fall in meaningless games
Detroit over Indy???? That was a crazy take! Great work as always
Just hope the Pacers play the Knicks so we can make a Gavin eat his words about teams he is concerned about. He seems nice enough. But the Knicks’ fans disrespect for Indy continues – Pacers are one of the best teams since all star break. Cmon. Detroit over Indy? Cade is good but not at Ty’s level IMO. And our team play is more well rounded
