This is an epic choke job by the Knicks. 14 pt lead blown with 2:20 left should be impossible.

Can I just say I HATE James jones? I do. I really do. And it’s not new. I hated him when he passed on Hali on draft night and my HATE has just grown. I HATE him.

To be fair it’s one of the best 3pt blazing performances by the pacers to close the game that I’ve seen. Nesmith was en fuego.

My feed kept freezing so I gave up with the Knicks up like 16. Went out and came back to see the final.

pacers smoked the cavs with haliburton controlling everything - knicks would be wise to keep the ball out of his hands - get him frustrated - full court pressure - traps and doubles - everything that worked against cp3

If you noticed the pacers didn’t have Hali bringing the ball up the court at the end. They have ball handlers so they don’t need him to do so. So I think that strategy fails.

Besides the Bulls, there can’t be another team Knick fan hates more than the Pacers, right?

I can’t believe you still keep referring to the one of the most embarassing playoff exits of all time AND being 30-26 the following season as the “penthouse”.

It’s such a specious argument and you keep making it and I can’t figure out why. I get thinking we were in better position but the penthouse is just not true.

I keep wondering where you get the Suns being 30-26 after going to the Finals and winning 64 games the following season.

You and me both. Honestly, I don't think there has ever been someone associated with the Suns front office to this point in time (outside of Sarver, of course) that I've disliked more.
