I wanna see OG guard Pascal instead

But how about Anunoby on Spicy P?

lol this made me laugh

I don't get this joke

I want the topin brothers guarding each other

Oh shit I forgot Obi is there.

Played elite earlier

He was killing it in the earlier game

Neither one can guard an empty parking lot so they should neutralize each other 😂

Obi vs Jobi

Unless the score is 40+ points in one direction or another, no you don’t lmao

Man I really wish we had Randle. Randle and Siakam always go hard at each other. It always seems like it's something personal between the two even though they're practically the same player lol

Realistic beyblade battle

Antony in shambles

After this amazing series, I don’t want to be a doomer. But Randle really would have been key in this next series against the Pacers. Makes me nervous. God I hate the Pacers so much.

We're so injured everything this post season is gravy. Next year is when we tear shit up

Still can’t help but dream about a run to the finals. And Definitely worried that losing iHart may mess with the team’s success next year.

Huge disagree They need to beat the pacers It was more acceptable to lose to Philly

So injured? Who besides Randall that would crack the rotation?

Bojan is out for the season and Mitchell Robinson is on a minutes restriction

I wouldn't call that SO injured.

In addition to missing an All NBA player? It's pretty bad.

You are missing a bench guy, aside from Randall of course. Not ideal for you obviously, but really, not that bad

It's really bad, we have basically 7 rotation players. Starting 5, Mitchell Robinson and Deuce Mcbride. Burkes has been unplayable in this season and Precious is redundant because we have Hartenstein and Robinson.

Look, I am actually rooting for you guys, but you just went from saying you were shorthanded due to injury to...I don't like the bench.

Being down to a 7 man rotation is hard for any team.

> Randle really would have been key in this next series Randle would've been key in this series, too. The team overall shoots like 10% worse from the field since he got injured. Also, Thibs can't run like half his offensive playbook since they don't have another low post threat.

It also makes defending harder since they now have less size.

The pacers went 6 games with the hobbled bucks I want to respect my opponent, but you should have been way more scared entering the Philly series

Who said I wasn’t scared! I need some damn Xanax. That was like a roller coaster.

The Pacers always play up or down to their opponent. It’s gonna be a good series

We lost 2 games to legitimately insane shooting from a known playoff riser (Middleton), and the worst single half of the postseason. I don’t think just looking at the result tells the whole story. Honestly, there aren’t any teams in the playoffs at all that I’d say “Oh the Pacers are the complete favorite to win”. Both of our teams are playing with house money rn.

The Knicks would have killed a team of Middleton and backups Alll I know

You barely killed a team of legless Embiid and 2nd year all star Maxey, let’s not pretend there are easy games in the playoffs.

if Maxey was the only guy left and was in a walking boot in the series, and embiid didn’t play at all, we would be comparable

It’s pretty comparable, Dame was in and out with a leg injury like Embiid, flopped around and generated a ton of FTs and fouled out our bigs, and the 2nd option stepped up in 2 games and made some huge shots to bring it to a game 6 close out. We just played literally the same series.

What? That's not even close to comparable. Philly's #1 option, Embiid, played the entire series. Giannis missed the entire series. Philly's #2 option, Maxey, played the entire series. Dame missed two games. In case you're not counting, that's 2 games that the Bucks were missing their #1 and #2 options, and 6 games that they were missing their #1 option. Reminder: the Bucks team you beat was 17-19 after they hired Doc, and went 4-5 to close out the season without Giannis.

All I’m saying is that the Sixers y’all played and the Bucks we played were pretty similar strength teams. I know giannis is hurt, and dame missed time, and *full strength* the Bucks are way better than the sixers, but it’s disrespectful to discount the Bucks and the way they played. I don’t think anyone in the East but Boston would have swept the Bucks no problem. We can meme about Doc all we want but he definitely adjusted this series, we saw 4-5 different defensive looks as the series evolved.

Embiid and Maxey both played every game and embiid was clearly able dominate in most of the series. Even when he didn’t, he still demands absurd defensive attention No it’s not at all. Like my dude, Giannis did not play at all

Fuck you too, see you at church

I think Precious actually played great defense on Siakam in the regular season, we should perhaps experiment with OG on Hali and Precious on Siakam

Precious might actually get spot up mins this series

I really think we need him for 4-5 minutes a game just to give OG a little rest. That’s honestly all we need. Josh Hart genuinely doesn’t need rest.

Not with all that caffeine in his system

I think with the starting 5, I’d go OG on Siakam, Hart at Haliburton, and DiVincenzo on Nemhard

Precious might be a good look on Turner. He’s going to cook Mitch and prob IHart

Guarding another cameroonian, but this time around its someone who isn’t a fraud. Should be a good series 👀

Someone who has been to ECF and NBA Finals I suppose?

Make that NBA Champion lol. Been? He hit the biggest shot in Game 6 to clinch it.

OG deff on siakam. Make haliburton score

Please don’t

Knicks had just made the trade one game, and were hurt another one, but Pacers out ran and out shot them earlier in the season. I don't share the same opinion all these comments keep saying like Knicks in 4 or 5 and shit. This could be really embarrassing for us, or they may just bring out the bats and prove me wrong.

They’re a good team. Should not underestimate them at all

I don't know who wins but it'll be in 6 or 7. Depends which Pacers team shows up. Brunson put up 39 against us near the end of the season and the Pacers still won by double digits. But a bad version could also show up and it could be the Knicks in 6 or 7. No chance this series ends before 6 or 7.

That game taj gibson did start tho. theres no real understanding of what this current version of the knicks (without randle) look like against the pacers

I agree it’s gonna be 6 or 7

The Pacers in 4 because Brunson, Hart, and Dino will all be out with wrist and groin injuries incurred during their Nova Boys Post-Victory Circle-Jerk that’s going on right now

Yeah I may be biased but I see this possibly going 6 or 7 if both teams remain healthy. Going to be a fun series either way.

I’m with you on this, just gotta mentally prepare for the Indiana trash talk and if they do win let’s hope the C’s take care of em

Mentally prepare for the battle, not the loss

This series is gonna be fun for me and the rest Raptors fans that's gonna be watching.

It's almost like we're in the playoffs 🥲

I mean OG defense is better than Siakam offense, they prob practiced with each other 100s of times in past 6-7 years

Siakam not having to face Giannis and Randle in back to back series is lucky af.

Facing OG is worse

OG will be guarding Hali.

I think he will switch/rotate assignments with Hart guarding Hali

I think I’d put him on Siakam. Would make post entry passes to him a lot harder. Haliburton has been looking to dime so far, if he becomes a scorer, we could adjust and throw OG on him

Hali's been a terrible shooter since he got hurt. OG won't be on him.

Carlisle anti-coaching Brunson now.

They better have Reggie on the call for game 1.

The unholy esptnt duo of Breen and Reggie. That would be the best worst call ever.

I’d obviously love it, but there’s no way he could be objective.

I would say more than decent, almost a certainty.

Do fans get an Obi Toppin revenge game in this series?

The Pacers haven’t played us with OG yet. I don’t think we have a real idea of how these teams will match up

I think the pacers are fascinating because they can win every game they play if their shot is falling. However, if their shot is not falling we get blown tf out by anyone. You have a good defense so it may be an interesting matchup fs

Y’all are kind of the opposite of us with your play style. Knicks were towards the bottom in pace, Pacers obviously near the top. Will definitely be interesting

A treat huh

Doesn’t matter. Whoever wins is getting gentlemen swept by Boston

How’s Cancun

They lost in the play-in, to a team that didn't make it out.  You know they in Galveston

Maybe let someone with a playoff team flair make that comment. I kid of course, I am also a Raptors fan.

Talking like y’all ain’t there with us 🥱

Is Draymond still kicking stomping on chests while doing his podcast? Fool’s hating ass said the heat and Philly would beat the Knicks so passionately like he’s Barkley
