wow

I don’t know how many people care here, but the Royal Challengers Bangalore has won the Indian Premier League after a long draught of 18 years. Long time coming.

Austin Ainge was asked about his philosophy on tanking, manipulating minutes to improve lottery odds, etc. His answer: "You won't see that this year."

The Indiana Pacers advance to the #NBAFinals presented by YouTubeTV! Game 1: Thursday, June 5 at 8:30pm/et on ABC

Which brings me to the Last conundrum and its latest victim NYK. When you have a pick and roll virtuoso like Hali coming at you with 2 mins left in a tight game, you simply cannot have Towns getting his feet tangled up trying a deep drop. It’s dead on arrival.

Whenever I think of @jkylemann.bsky.social’s shuffling the hips on defense phrase, I think of what the worst case scenario of that could do - Karl Anthony Towns. That dude gets his feet cris crossed defending a pick and roll way too often.

In a win or go home game 6, the Pacers fell back to their identity of break neck speed while Knicks were left searching for one.

Everything came in so easy for the Pacers, and the exact opposite for the Knicks. You simply cannot will yourself to a win with offensive rebounding and barreling to the rim if you don’t have a solid foundation to fall back onto.

The Knicks, to a man, have talked about the importance of taking care of the ball and not committing stupid turnovers against this Pacers team. They have committed 15 turnovers in Game 6, many of them stupid, leading to 30 Pacers points, and are now down by 15.

It's 30-6, Pacers advantage on points off turnovers. THIRTY. To SIX. In Game Six!

The Knicks have just been out played by the pacers through this quarter. Pacers are just relentless. They press you full court and push the ball down your throat when they get it.

I understand that we’re in an interesting/tricky spot, but not in a bad spot for sure. We still have a top 10 player coming back, at least 3 more top 40 players, and some okay young talent.

I really trust in Brad, the infrastructure and the culture that we have in place to figure itself out this transition period. Brad has more or nailed every single decision he’s made and is very well trusted in house to make the move he thinks is right.

I recently was thinking if the whole ranking east teams’ future that the @ringernba.bsky.social guys are doing. I’m not even kidding when I say I don’t think @bigwos.bsky.social ‘s opinion of taking Boston over the Pacers is that bad of a take.

😅 📸: Pacers

Pacers hand over mic to Pat McAfee during timeout. He then points out that Spike, Ben Stiller and Chalamee are in audience. Then says, "Let's send these sons of bitches back to NY" to rousing ovation from the Indy crowd

The end is near

And as I say that, Hart cuts backdoor off of a gamble and gets fouled lmao

I feel like Pacers have been able to figure out a lot of the Knicks swing swing passes. They’re jumping onto those passing lanes, and are getting rewarded for it.

this is so good

Siakam is so comfortable with Bridges on him

Towns with Hart+Wright+McBride+Payne/Shamet is a brain dead lineup from Thibs

BTW, happy tweet-iversary! One of the most famous NBA posts of all time was fired off 10 years ago today, and has remained notable this entire time because the fuckery has refused to subside.

The Knicks looked, just tired. I really think the high minutes’ bill came due at the worst possible time.

two goats, one pod

You can’t even be good at basketball anymore. Because of woke.

This series is NOT close imo. On a separate note, Coach Pyper is the best to do it.

This is what Ant is seeing when he has the ball compared to what he saw previously.

I suddenly remembered that @zachlowenba.bsky.social was at the game today and we’re getting a banger of a pod tomorrow morning 😤

That’s a legit SILENT crowd

ASS DEFENSE

BEST GAME IF THE SEASON JESUS CHRIST 😭

mano-e-mano

not ANOTHER stoppage 😭

A part of me is happy that I get to see this another 5 mins

my room mates asked me if I’m okay 😭

OG misses the FT I love this stupid sport 😭
