Holy crap! I'm sorry, but that's funny!
Go Pacers
Holy crap! I'm sorry, but that's funny!
If Chet wins his first championship, you can bet that'll make Victor more eager than ever to win one.
If you have game 1 on the 5th, and game 2 on the 8th, that’s TWO Days in between,June 6th and June 7th.
OKC in 6 cause I can see the Pacers getting hot for a game or two. I think the games will be close in most of this series.
All I have learned from this exchange is you can really trigger some people by saying Bowen = Zaza.
OKC in 5. The Thunder play a level of defense that is tiers above anyone else the Pacers have played. imo 3-0 deficit, Indy wins a blowout game 4 before getting thrashed in game 5
Evan Turner vs the double big men setup of OKC , Indy willl have the edge there
The Pacers have more ball handlers and smarts than anyone the Thunder have played. Thunder have been winning strictly by creating live ball turnovers, and I think they’ll have a harder time doing that this series.
Pacers in 7
And now, with the hot hand, Sir Evan Turner is going to light Hinkie on fire from mid-range distance!
Commence The Long Two!
(sorry, I have to post this one every time Evan turner is brought up. The most hillarious thing is that it's still relevant.)
The Pacers are the 50-win team their record says they are. They made it through because the Cavs aren’t built for the playoffs and the Celtics are a high-variance team with no plan B when the threes aren’t falling.
The Thunder will clobber them.
I give the edge to the pacers…
better coach
better point guard (yes that flopping kunt Sga)
better 3 pt shooters
pacers in 6
The Thunder are definitely a tier above, but the Pacers had a really good regular season after a slow start that was riddled with injuries.
10-15 at the start of the season, 40-15 after that.
Also, trade deadline final boss:
And he just turned 29.
It will be OKC in 5. But I’m rooting for the Pacers. I don’t like Chet getting his 1st ring before Wemby.
If the pacers win ii will be really impressed snd it means Haliburton Has reached superstar status officially…
Pacers rely a ton on jump passes, specifically ones that they leave their feet without a clear target …
If they don’t limit those - they will have a ton of turnovers we did not see
In the East
I have OKC in 5
Also if Turner can’t move his feet to stay in from of KAT if Chet is aggressive he can get up the paint in iso whenever he wants …
Why does anyone care about this? Chet isn't a franchise player and lucked into a team that already had one and a solid #2. He both got chosen in the lottery and hit the team lottery. Good for him.
Would prefer Pacers, but OKC will be hard to handle. Could care less about if Chet rings. He ain't the head of the snake.
It has nothing to do with anything. I’m a basketball fan and part of that is rooting against compe ion. Likewise I respected Kobe but I never wanted him to have more rings than Timmy.
GoZ was so legit. Imagine the content they could come up with this year

Both of those guys are rival franchise players on rival teams. Some of the best all time at their respective positions. They are equals in their era. There's nothing equal about Chet and Wemby. There's no reason to see them as rivals. The only similarity about them is they were drafted in the same draft.
So I say all that to say this...what the are you actually talking about? Is it franchise player versus franchise player? Because that doesn't exist in this scenario. Is it because they were in the same draft? Would you like to go back to other drafts and find franchise players and turn them into rivals against role players? Seriously, I'm curious.
If the Pacers win does this put Carlisle in the HOF?
Pacers have the better coach and more experience. They match-up decently and I think on a normal night can definitely get a win, if they were to get hot for a couple games, this could be a series for sure.
Not sure why people harp on the OKC defense being so much better than others. They barely beat Jokic with a team of non impact players. Granted AG gave them a miracle shot, but Jokic pushing them to 7 is wild.
Then they beat a bad Timberwolves team that wouldn't have been there if Curry didn't get hurt.
OKC has been gifted the easier schedule and whistle and did not look impressive outside a couple of games tbh. Maybe they're playing down to their opponent though.
Pacers had a much more impressive run. Thunder are young. Emotions happen.
I'm hoping for a good series and wouldn't be surprised if it's more compe ive than people are thinking. Pacers are really a coin flip team. If they call the right side every game, they might pull an upset.
What rock did you crawl out from? People will make narratives because both are unicorn and our boy happens to be not American. Already the media tried it in the ROY race. Already there are comparisons with playoffs Chet 3, Wemby 0. Chet winning a ring will add to that narrative. Again I’m a fan who has a dog on the race, so I’m rooting against any of Wemby’s compe ion. It makes the rivalry fun. It has nothing to do with anything. It’s fun to root against a compe ion.
Damn I hated his whiner face
They weren't drafted in the same draft. Chet missed his first year due to injury. He was only going against Victor in the rookie of the year race due to that.
Would they have still been considered rivals if he played the year before?
