Who are the three that wouldn’t? Are we one of those…?

Thank goodness they didn't. I like those three in Mav unis.

Pacers about to eradicate the Bucks. 104-84 with 8 minutes left. TJ McConnell and Obi Toppin with career highs off the bench. Dame is back, he has 21.

Like this question. You have to think the team that just swept em isn’t one. Or the defending champs. Or the 64-win Celtics. So I think you have to put the Mavs and #1 seed Thunder into the would-trade-rosters category. As if the quote weren’t funny enough already.
RE: AROUND the NBA: MIN Sweeps PHX! - The Jom - 05-02-2024
Embiid just quit? Can’t stand that guy.

Hield changed everything lol and now Hart's limping
RE: AROUND the NBA: MIN Sweeps PHX! - HoosierDaddyKid - 05-02-2024
Brunson is closing them out by himself. Has 37 and 10 assists with 3:26 left up by 8.
RE: AROUND the NBA: MIN Sweeps PHX! - KillerLeft - 05-02-2024
Buddy Hield just tossed up the worst attempt at a game-tying buzzer beater I’ve ever seen.
Brunson scores 40. Knicks advance.
RE: AROUND the NBA: MIN Sweeps PHX! - HoosierDaddyKid - 05-02-2024
NY/Phila was the best series I've seen in a while.

It was Brunson's 3rd straight 40 pt game of the series. He's officially a problem.

The 2nd round will be fun also w/RC vs his old team and a possible JB vs Mitchell rematch (if I have the seedings correct).

Nope. Celtics play the winner of Cavs/Magic; NY play the Pacers.
RE: AROUND the NBA: MIN Sweeps PHX! - fifteenth - 05-02-2024
Wow, JB vs RC. Who shall I cheer for?
RE: AROUND the NBA: MIN Sweeps PHX! - BoredAssistant - 05-02-2024
Ah ok. Knicks vs Pacers sounds fun at least.

This guy is the biggest bum in the NBA
RE: AROUND the NBA: MIN Sweeps PHX! - ThisIStheYear - 05-03-2024
NY will beat the Pacers easily. I can’t believe Brunson is getting a team to a conference finals. I hope Luka can at least match him. I wonder sometimes how the Mavs would be if they had been smart and locked Brunson up early. But, when I go through it in my head I have them in about same position. They don’t have Lively, but they probably are a little better on the wings as they would have invested their trade assets there instead of with Kyrie. So, it’s basically Brunson and someone like Siakam vs Kyrie and DLive. I’m okay either way but with Wemby emerging, the Mavs will benefit to have a long, athletic center available to match up.

We'll never know. But I think Brunson would have worked. I also don't know if he stays if Cuban extended him. Kyrie and Brunson both are tough shot makers and takers. But Brunson didn't want to be the second fiddle here. He wanted to run his own team, and he's blown up big since he left. Kyrie doesn't want or need to be the headliner. He's fine being the second option wherever he's played, Cleveland, Boston, Brooklyn, etc. Pacers won't be a walk in the park. They won the season series 3-1, but it doesn't matter now, it's the playoffs. It won't be a EASY series as you suggest. They are hard to play because of their style of play, pace, and shot making ability. Pacers must keep the Knicks off the boards, especially offensively. Knicks are one of the best teams in rebounding. This could be a 6-7 game series.

It should be. The Pacers get the ball up the floor, take advantage of turnovers, and take the first shot available.
