New Album & The Beginning of Basketball Season

ToUgh to see Hart go out with what looks like a sprain of on of his abdominal muscles and while on the bench the Pacers go to work. Even Haliburton made some terrific shots as the pacers took an 18 point lead. Brunson is such a beautiful player to watch

End of 3rd Pacers hold a big lead on the Knicks 88-75

More aggressiveness in defense and rebounding. To me the Pacers are quite unselfish. They pass the ball around. If 7 of them score double figures, they looked good to win.
 
Hart is really hurting. Looks like he either strained or tore his left external oblique as he's now in the locker. Tough to see this happen. The Knicks are playing on fumes as the Pacers are juiced behind Siakam and McConnell

Pacers have blown this one open and lead

102-79

Looks like Phil is correct and we are going back to NY for a game 7

Well this series goes to a game 7 at MSG as a depleted Knicks team just didn't have enough to keep up with the Pacers

as we know, the Knicks are a different team playing to their home crowd . Big question is whether Hart will be able to play. He was hating


Final Pacers 116-103
 
Only the last possible game 7 is left, Thunder and Mavs.
 
Madison Square Garden is the 6th man.

Pacers arena seemed more noisy before.

You're right...Game 4 was much more raucous in Gainbridge. I think the crowd was more tense last night; I certainly wasn't comfortable until Carlisle put in the third team. I snapped these two photos to show why the Pacers are still in this (in addition to Knicks injuries): 1) A grown-up who's been there; 2) Relentless pressure.

It seems that the story of The Emperor's New Clothes has taken on a new meaning when it comes to King James and his desire to play with his son....methinks if his has been his true motive , perhaps this would be a good time for him to step down from the throne as he has been defrocked......:cool:

LeBron James' son, Bronny, not getting love from scouts: 'He is not an NBA prospect'

James averaged fewer than five points per game this past season


One scout said to Spears, "If the Lakers don't draft him, I don't see anyone drafting him. Teams will want him on a two-way [contract], and I don't think [James' agency] Klutch will want that."


"Positional athlete. Doesn't function as an elite athlete. Tweener stuck between two positions. Should be a point guard based on his size, but he can't run an offense. He's handicapped as an undersized shooting guard because he can't shoot…o_O

although OKC is winning the game midway through the 2nd period, there play is lacking that killer instinct to force a game 7

38-32 OKC but Mavs have closed the 10 point deficit . The Mavs are also lacking the killer instinct to close out the Thunder in Dallas.

So far this series is the least exciting, for me at least :rolleyes:

SGA seems to be the driving force for the Thunder in this first half as he has 21 . Doncic already has on e T and keeps jawing with one of the refs. he seems be close to getting tossed if he doesn't shut his yapper.

OKC picks up the pace towards the end of the first half

OKC leads 64-48

Another element to me in all this is the NBA rule on tampering. Maybe only James can get away with illegally recruiting players he did that already and is doing it now again. Where's the 'free' play in drafting after so much pressure has been made to a drafting team to get his son plus him ?
In a way, it's a soft blackmail to Jeannie to get his son, or else.....And bringing Rich Paul with him and his wife the last Cleveland home game ? It's like , Jeannie , are you tuned in ? This was talked about in the shows and one said that incident is not 'nothing' when Rich Paul is visible.

It is. There is much pressure in closing a series at home. Many great ones had lost a closing game at home. The spirit of the Thunder will be tested.

Luka hogs the ball so much that he must realized he is a target of torpedos from the Thunder. They will be slamming him a lot. :D

The problem as I see it is that this kid is trying to live in his father's footsteps and he is woefully inept. Plus he's a freshman with really no skills other than what he thinks he learned from his papa. Plus if he waits longer to enter the draft LeBron might be in a home for the elderly.

I think Jeannie is hopefully smarter than this. If not then yes LeBron has her by the fine hairs and she caves for the sake of selling tickets
