Guess it’s good to have home court advantage in this series!!

Bet the Knicks win tonight on the road to flip the script in the other series.

Ha! Good call on the Knicks.

Big bounce back win by the Thunder tonight. Randle with another dud of a game with five points. Lu Dort is making Anthony Edwards miserable.

Can we dispense with the “Ant is the next Jordan” talk?

Well, he's only 23 yet so it's going to be a few years before they stop talking about it.

I still say he's the real deal. He's only going to get better. He did make all nba 2nd team this year.

That OKC team is just stacked and He is having a bad series.

I would like to repeat to please stop w the false narrative that Halliburton is overrated.

Thanks

tempo_n_groove · May 28

I was watching Get up the other day and they were arguing if Haliburton was a superstar or not. One argument is that he brings the Pacers to a long playoff run but his numbers are otherworldly.

I say he is. He just does things right. More like a Duncan type player. Not too flashy sans the choke symbol, lol.

Gern Blansten · May 28

And Haliburton is the ONLY NBA player to have a triple double and NO turnovers in a playoff game. Crazy stat

tbergs · May 28

Haliburton is for real. 8 months ago, I probably would have laughed if someone was trying to hype him up, but he's showing he's got what it takes and is elevating his game.

He is one of the guys I do hype and yes people have laughed at me. When that poll about overhyped players came out and he topped the list everyone took that as gospel. I tried telling people, watch him play, you'll think differently.

Glad you can see the talent this dude has and yes, a triple double with NO TURNOVERS!

This has probably been tossed around in the past, but listening to the end of the Wolves - OKC game was so anticlimactic and frustrating because of the fouls to stop the Wolves from attempting a 3 to tie. I was wondering why they even allow that at this point and then saw this article today. I like several of the options this guy throws out and it would make the end of the game so much more exciting. Quit taking the ball out of the players hands for us to watch a free throw-a-thon.

Haliburton plays basketball like Jar Jar Binks fights ... Sith drunken fist force trained user. Seems to work.

He definitely has an unorthodox looking shot, but the guy is a baller.

I remember the covid draft and I was hoping the Knicks would draft Hali, but went for Obi despite having 12 forwards/centers and no point guards.

You aren't the only Knicks fan that has mentioned that.

I mentioned this earlier in this thread. Antman looks like he went out partying the night before. This series the whole team went out the night before.

If OKC is going to remain this good then the Wolves will have nothing for them unless they revamp their team.

OKC has the beginning of a Dynasty if they do the right things. Just think who they traded away and the draft picks they have in stock.

Minnesota was built to contend with Denver. West is going to be even more interesting next year after the draft and if Wemby returns healthy.

Can the Pacers or the Knicks give OKC a series? OKC D was so solid except for game 3

I doubt it.
OKC in 5 most likely.

tbergs · May 29

OKC is a powerhouse right now. They have all the pieces and they're clicking. The east winner might get 1 game if OKC gets lazy or loses the flow after they blow out the first 2 home games in the finals.
