2024 Playoffs: Around the League Round 3 (Conf Finals) News Thread

Are they over yet?

Kyrie…

KAT seems to never rise to the occasion.

He was just really good against Denver. This series, it so much.

[Mori Chu]

Dallas seems to have "figured out" the Wolves. Minny isn't getting easy shots, and in particular both Ant and KAT seem to be struggling. It's amazing how much matchups matter in the playoffs.

Does the Pacers not totally capitulating with out Haliburton say more about him or Nembhard and McConnell?

Or Boston?

[Flagrant Fowl]

It will certainly be interesting to see them play a competent crunch time opponent in the Finals.

[Split T]

The Celtics played 3 teams that even our dysfunctional suns could have beat…There was almost no point to even play those series.

[Kryptonic]

Good points... Could be interesting but just cringe at the thought of Dallas getting another ring before the Suns.

Might as well get it over with…Luka is getting a ring eventually

Every game a reminder of how much McD and crew blew it.

[Mori Chu]

Nembhard was pretty awesome for the Pacers. Indy had a really nice season. They made it about as far as anybody would have any reasonable expectation for them to go in the playoffs. They probably convinced Siakam to stay. And they discovered that Hali's backup is a playoff rotation guy. They are super young and have a bright future.

[ShelC]

Nembhard and Nesmith were impressive and give them good perimeter depth going forward. The Pacers feel a bit like the pre-CP Suns on 20-21. Young, long, fast and athletic but also a bit physically slight as a team. They could use a few thicker, stronger bodies to add some physicality.

[Split T]

If Hali gets back to being 1st half of the season Hali, they should be great next year.

I think if Jarace Walker develops that will help. I like Nesmith and Nembhard…Smith and Toppin. They’ve got a lot of good players…might just need a better wing between Hali and Siakam if they want to be a contender.

[Flagrant Fowl]

They had enough talent this year. They just needed to not be stupid.

[Shabazz]

That Mavs-Wolves 1st quarter was PTSD triggering.

[Flagrant Fowl]

Which part, the Luka daggers or grenade dump off passes to a defended Gobert in the paint?

[Shabazz]

The at-home no show in a close out game while Luka destroys.

[Flagrant Fowl]

Weird, I don't recall that part.

[TOO]

Luka out there running like HIV Magic. Slow AF.
