The Boston Celtics gave the NY Knicks a nice scare in the 1st round after they went up 3-0 in the series. New York was able to hold on and win their first playoff series in over 10 years. I think their luck continues in the 2nd round where they will face a stout Indiana team. Led by young phenom Paul George, David West, and Roy Hibbert, the Pacers feature a big front court that can and will give the Knicks problems. The Knicks are heavily reliant on the volume scoring of Carmelo Anthony & JR Smith, but guys like Shumpert and Raymond Felton have made big contributions this playoff as well. I think this makes for a good series with the key matchup being Melo vs. George. In the end I think New York's offensive firepower will prove too much for Indy. Knicks in 6 games.

I don't trust Melo so I picked the pacers.I think the pacers are going to make it really hard for Melo to play the 4 where he has been most effective this year and so he will continue the shooting slump of the past few games.

Got drafted by the Pacers in 2k12 My Player and won 3 straight championships.  Going with Indiana on this one.  Plus, I've just never really liked Melo for some reason...

 

 

Missed the first game, but I think this is gonna be a hell of a series.  Hoping to see the Heat and Indiana meet in the next round.

    • I personally think you are trying to talk yourself into circles here... It's ok to say Bryce played incredible the last 5 weeks... I know there are plenty of people on this board who desperately need the doom-and-gloom narrative, but I genuinely question how much NFL QB play some of these people really have watched when they still question him being the unquestioned starter for next year...  Again, that being said, no one is crowning him at all. I think Bryce is one of the best stories going into 2025 bc his season last year was so outlandishly unprecedented. It's totally fair to personally not believe in Bryce. Plenty of sports "journalists" need to write stories, and that's an easy narrative path... But I think that actual people in the know rank Bryce much higher. That's the fun thing about sports... we shall see!
    • Regardless of how we got here, any rational fan should be excited by how well Bryce played down the stretch. Anyone not happy about that level of play either doesn't know what they're looking at, or they're still trying to drive tired narratives. Obviously, Cam had an all-time rookie season, and I'm not putting the two in the same basket yet, but as someone who has watched every snap of Panthers football since the start of the new millennium (Im old), Bryce was playing at a higher level at the end of 2024 than Cam was at the end of 2012 (his 2nd season). Cam continued to develop into MVP form, something Bryce has to prove, but as someone who watched both (and will stan for Cam always), Bryce was playing at a higher level to end year 2 than Cam did.  Go watch the film if you dont believe me. None of that means anything for the future. But the people who said BY9 couldnt play in this league are wrong.   That being said, the only thing that matters is this year. #20 is perfectly fair IMO going into the season. I mean think about it, how would you rank him??!  His in-season turnaround is one of the wildest things I've ever seen... how do you rank a guy who looked like a massive bust in September and by January was consistently playing at a top 10 level? My excitement level is pretty damn high heading into this season. There were throws from the Chiefs game onward where Bryce had Drew Brees levels of anticipation. Im excited to see what he can do with a full deck on offense, something we really never gave Cam. Really hope and expect Bryce to move up this list this season.  
    • Not really, the only QB's (other than Anthony Richardson) ranked below him are new to their teams as a placeholder starter or drafted in 2024 or 2025, not a lot of gymnastics to get there. It's not about how many that is, if it's 20, 12, or 2... It means there isn't a QB who's team has committed to them for the long term right now that they have ranked below Bryce. That's not a great thing.
