Why is this supposed to be a fair fight? Haliburton is 24, JB is 27.
Knicks have been in the playoffs two straight years and 3 of the last 4. Pacers were a lotto team the past two years.
This Knicks are clearly the better team and further along than the Pacers. The Knicks are also playing out of their minds. FFS they just shot >50% from 3 on 27 attempts and DD went 7-10 lol.
It doesn't really matter who's playing if they're going to run that hot.
I'd say given how depleted Knicks are, it would be good for the Pacers core to be performing better in this series as far as how it pertains to their future.
Turner/Siakam are veterans and Siakam is about to sign a max deal.
I dunno, not like anyone thought pacers were some great team of the future or anything but just saying
funny if giannis just played and they lost rd 1 to bucks it would probably look better than losing to the knicks with 4 rotation guys and 2 starters out
