Indiana Pacers vs New York Knicks game is tonight, New York Knicks are ahead 3-2 in the series and if they win tonight, they will play against Boston Celtics in the final.

Pacers didn't allowed that to happen, we have a game 7 and the momentum now is on the Pacers. Aside from that, Knicks seemed to have another injury problem with Josh Hart's abdominal soreness. We have to follow the update of this, if that will heal soon the better so he'll be ready in game 7 as they can't afford to lose another player after losing OG recently. Also, Knicks look tired, and they played small ball which doesn't really help them as they can't grab rebounds, and that resulted to a big rebounds disparity, 35 for them while Indiana has 47.

Knicks is trouble now they lose hart which also contributes a lot for them and pacers can take advantage on that situation since its an advantage for them that Knicks lose a player. For winning game 6 for sure that Pacers is in high morale so not surprising to see that they are the one who will advance on conference finals since they really show some good match and didn't let Knicks to take away the game 6 for them. There small ball rotation doesn't really help them knowing that Pacers have big and fast players. This is their struggle and if they want to defeat pacer on game 7 I guess they need to have big adjustment so they could able to handle the defensive pressure which Pacers putting to them.

But the Knicks may have been defeated because they lost their heart when Hart was injured. (pun intended) Grin

I mean, we all saw how Josh Hart had a big impact on the Knicks team. Offensive rebounds, not giving up easily, and he makes everyone better just by being energetic on the floor.
I hope he can play on Game 7 to make the game more exciting.

Losing Anunoby is huge for the Knicks already. Just imagine if Hart will not play as well.
Yes, they still have McBride and Achiuwa who scored 20 and 12 points respectively, but not having a player who can give you at least 10 rebounds per game is a big thing.

We know how rebounding is a factor towards winning just like in Game 6 where the Pacers just outrebounded them 47-35. Losing Hart in Game 7 mean losing the series (that's my prediction). Anyway, let's just hope that he will be just fine in Game 7. There are still a few days for him to recover his injury.

Hart has been a big factor, his energy on the floor is just remarkable. Still remember how he gave his team a win when he haad an open 3, I think that was game 2. It's not about the offense but his defense and ability to grab a rebound. Knicks have the heart to win the series but the Pacers are the healthier team, so I give it to them the game 7.

Anyway, Game 6 between the Mavericks and the Thunder will be the next game. Will the Mavericks end it on their home, or the Thunder will force a Game 7.

The upcoming game 7 that we will witness is enough IMO, this series should end in 6.

And another Game 7 coming up.
Indiana Pacers won their game against the New York Knicks in a strong performance.
Haliburton is so aggressive but I think there's more that he could give. Pascal Siakam on the other hand was not shy about shooting the ball, he found his rhythm on that elbow shot and he kept on shooting there even with a hand on his face. TJ McConnell was also aggressive on both ends of the floor. Aaron Nesmith doing what he is good at and it's to guard Brunson at all times.

Last night, Minnesota beat Denver with a difference, thus taking the series to the 7th game.
It will be a very enjoyable last game.

Cavs did enough for me to lose my -10.5 bet on Celtics last time so I'm going to pick Cavs +15.5 @1.96 this time hehe.

Good luck, the ball is definitely balanced and round and no one will know until the game ends.

All I really care is winning the bet to be honest hehe. The first half is over and the Cavs are still holding on despite the absence of several key players. Garland is expected to carry this team again but Marcus Morris is playing surprisingly well. I'll be happy if they can keep the score close to the Celtics in the second half too.

And that bet was a loss, that's okay.

I am also like that even though I know that these odds would mean nothing when the favored team wins. I'd say that it's still a good match and Cleveland had made it this far again.

I'm a knicks fan so I definitely don't want to see a game 7 there but for both series in the west I'm hoping for a seven game series. Starts tonight with the wolves at home needing a win. Ant has to have a huge game for them. Will see what the young kid is made of tonight. It's amazing he is only 22 and has pretty much taken the NBA over. Once he gets to 25/26 years old the dude is going to be unstoppable.

It's possible that this game 6 will be the welcoming victory of the Knicks and they'd be the second team to get into the conference finals.

Speaking of the game of the Wolves, that was an interesting clutch there. If they're going to show the same performance as what they did to Nuggets, they're unstoppable through that kind of rotation.

I think majority here is rooting for the Mavs to win, it's not that we don't like OKC or SGA, they are a good team, they are the number 1 seed in the West, but I felt that it's not their time to shine, not yet. On the other hand, the Mavs with Luka as putting up a good series against them and the whole team are putting effort for them to win this series against the inexperience OKC. And it also shows their defense as well, with their new acquisition in the trade deadline, anchoring everything with Gafford and PJ Washington. So now the next game will be at Dallas homecourt, one of the loudest arena, it will be crazy if they are going to beat the Thunder.

As much as there are some fans that want to see OKC make it to the conference finals, Mavs is still has a lot of fans and favor from us. I like SGA and honestly, I think that he should be the one that should have won the MVP. But we like more Luka to get into the finals as his charm is different from the rest of them. I want to see Mavs move on and it was Luka who said last season about people acts tough because they are up right? Josh Giddey has said something to them so, I want a slap on Josh's face by seeing the Mavs win.

The Nuggets proved me wrong. I thought they were going to end the series in Game 6, but the series moved to Game 7. Now they can finish the job at home. They have to do it. I think they are two of the three strongest teams in the NBA. Both teams will fight to the last drop of sweat. I see the Nuggets ahead again, but Edwards and his friends have shown in three games that you can't underestimate them.

They're likely to be the face of the NBA and I agree. The old era of veterans and superstars are about to end anytime soon.

And going with Wolves and Nuggets match later, I want to see Nuggets end it already so that we see another match up. But a part of me is telling to see more of ANT to be honest.

May the best team win then.

Wolves dominated the Nuggets in each quarters of the game, the tough defense and that good rotations of the players, they are not willing to end this series pushing one more game, by looking and watching the game Nuggets offense is really bad they've been limited to score only 70 points bad shooting night for Murray and Gordon's help ain't been felt, Wolves didn't waste the money of all their fans and supporters as they come up strong showing how ready they are for today's game and they are not willing to take their vacation but instead pushing the series and see if how luck will help them to snatch the conference finals from the defending champ.

We are going to see another game. Grin

I wasn't expecting that the Wolves will still prolong the series and they're going to put much score against the Nuggets. It's always like this when a team and its players are having a bad day and unlucky shooting.

It happened to the Wolves last time right? So, we're going to see the game 7 soon so still good luck to both of them. Whoever wins, deserves it.

I didn't expect that kind of lead. Just 26 field goals out of 86 from the Nuggets—that is very poor shooting. Although I'm expecting a Game 7, I can't help but think, "Is this staged so they can extend the series and the organization can earn more?", lol. Anyway, 2004 was the last time the Wolves made it to the WCF. As I mentioned, if they can beat the Nuggets, the Wolves will likely make their first NBA Finals. However, that's only if they can beat the Nuggets because Jokic won't give in easily. I voted for Wolves vs. Mavs in the WCF.

I also couldn't understand what happened. I don't actually think it was staged or rigged or smt but definitely it was weird. Nuggets started not bad, then Timberwolves responded and got a lead, which is very understandable in a home game. But then Nuggets just stopped. Were they actually stopped by the Timberwolves or something else was going on? I feel like there is 'Gobert Effect'. Sometimes Nuggets players don't want to drive to inside. But still this result is inexplainable. We have an amazing game ahead of us. I hope it will be a legendary game and will be remembered for years. I will not bet though. I find it irritable to bet on games like this. Not worth to take a risk for me.

Even Shaq said on a podcast this week (I think he was kidding) that he found out the NBA is rigged when he was on the Lakers.

Can you provide reference on Shaq statement? Shaq is known as being butthurt against Jokic achievements as center by being an MVP. I’m not sure what kind of rigged he was referring but surely there’s now way this true since teams on NBA invest a lot of money to build their roster just to win a championship. I really doubt that the most prestigious league for basketball will have something conspiracy like this.

Maybe he is just so confused or annoyed on the series since he and barkley predicted that Nuggets will be sweep by Wolves which didn’t happened.

What the hell was the game of yesterday? The denver team amde an scale in Las Vegas? why they play so bad and they gifted a game in a so tight series against a good team like Minnesota Timberwolves?, now all is gonna be decided on Denver in the last game, but i really dont know what is gonna happen because this series is changing hands several times.

Simple answer, Momentum! Nuggets gives an opening against Timberwolves on the first quarter which gives momentum for Wolves to dominate them. All their counter shots was forced that makes it less accurate.

It’s very hard to stop a team that already has the momentum of the game including the crowd cheer while all your shots was imbued by bad luck. Jokic doesn’t do much on this game since he already try his best to cut the momentum yet all his shots doesn’t won’t in.

They don’t giveaway this match but rather bad luck just hit them hard which is happening to any team.

It seemed almost like the Nuggets were taking the night off to rest with the hopes that they could seal the deal in Denver on Sunday. That doesn’t make much sense given that they have multiple days to rest now, but when it comes to the NBA you never know what the truth is. Even Shaq said on a podcast this week (I think he was kidding) that he found out the NBA is rigged when he was on the Lakers.

I like the Knicks vs Pacers series but I don't want the Dallas to have a game 7, LOL.. sorry mate, I can't agree with you because I have a bet on the series, and it would be scary if the game will go back to OKC where the crowd will be supporting the young team in that game. Dallas should consider game 6 as their last game, they can't miss that opportunity, otherwise they'll have to handle a lot of pressure in game 7.

Crowd support is proven not effective on this series since they both kicking each other asses on the opponent home court.

I believe they are now countering each other strategy on every game so there’s a high chance that series with close game will probably extend to game 7 because they will just keep adjusting per game.

I will not be surprised if all the remaining matches on round 2 will be on game 7 since all of them has a tight match.

Yes, I guess the biggest test awaits OKC today and their chance of making history is facing its first challenge, which is a win on the road. Because to be the NBA champion you'll need to overcome certain hurdles especially the ability to win games on the road even when facing elimination.

Finally we have our first game 7 in the playoffs.

Yes, finally. Cheesy

Well, most analysts did predict this will happen. Timberwolves will bounce back but I was shocked it could go that far. This was like Games 1 and 2 of this Nuggets versus Timberwolves series when Conley was healthy, KAT was efficient, and the bench was all working to contribute for both ends of the floor.
The Wolves are really strong when they are complete. Now, I want to see what answer the Nuggets will bring at their home Ball Arena. These are still the reigning champions, we cannot underestimate them. I just hope Jamal Murray will show up just like how he showed in the series against the Lakers.
Michael Porter Jr. too seems to be out of sync with the team and they need that bench to be productive again.
I bet they got an earful from Coach Malone.

After last nights disgraceful performance I feel like Denver will come out very strong in game 7. I'm not sure who will win the game, that's gonna depend on who shows up for the T wolves. If the team from last night shows up, Denver is cooked. If the Nuggets make some adjustments and find ways to get open shots, T wolves are cooked. This is where coaching is proven, who makes the better adjustments, who motivates their team better, who is better at drawing up some plays and getting their team the shots.

It will be an interest game 7 to be honest and whoever wins truly deserve and earned it, because both teams have bounced back from terrible situations and played really, more so the 6 games played so far cannot be attributed to one playing bad on certain days, it has been because the other team was rather terrific in those games.

Speaking of game 7, I would like the Dallas vs OKC and Pacers vs Knicks series to be extended to a game 7 as well.

It’s nearly impossible to beat the Nuggets unless Wolves will find a way to lock down Jokic(Maybe double team him). I notice that Wolves usually do an isolation defense against Jokic with Gobert that makes it not effective anymore since Jokic already knew how to break the defense of Gobert.

Wolves need to double team Jokic with KAT and limit him to pass the ball before he can even make a play. They should just improve what they are doing on game 1 and 2. Stop relying to Gobert defense alone to contain Jokic because it’s proven not effective anymore his defense.

I still believe that they can push Game 7 if they just lock down Jokic.

As predicted and as a fan of underdogs. Timberwolves manage to get the crucial W to force game 7. Gladly I have faith on my prediction that gives me a huge payout!

Timberwolves manage to contain Jokic by not allowing him to isolate defense since he can’t create an opening for his teammates which results to low accuracy on this game. Timberwolves done a nice job on pressuring defense to Jokic and attacking at the same time with great accuracy. Nuggets is only strong if Jokic can play freely which didn’t happened to this game.

Game 7 is crucial now since Jokic will solve this issue so I will not YOLO bet with wolves anymore. Wink
