Indy impact players will choke...that's why NYK will win. Besides, the league wants the Knicks market over those other teams still in the playoffs. They would rather have the Nuggets lose on Sunday than the Knicks, so the home field advantage will be in full effect.

Indy or Minny do not bring in more money or fans unlike big market, dynasty and super teams do. Didn't you get the memo?

Denver isn't a big market either.
Nor are they a super team but they can become a dynasty team by winning back to back titles that is sustainable due to having an MVP on a tight chemistry team with little turnover along with a great coach. Minny doesn't have close to that chemistry nor even a real leader on the team. Ant is too immature but he's still young. And Towns needs to be smarter on the court without lapses as he is now a veteran. Will he ever win a MVP?

Wolves and Pacers = best timeline

Worst timeline = Nuggets and Knicks

Nah it’s over 121 to 107

Clippers go on a 15-0 run right after this, and eventually win the game. :lol:

Minny vs Indy finals will also generate the lowest viewers in NBA history. Does the league want that?

I personally don't care either way but I am good at predictions.

The more relevant question is whether Towns can ever get a first-team all nba selection, not MVP... He is clearly not even the best player or corner stone on his team, otherwise he would not be often in trade conversations..

Wolves and Celtics would do solid numbers I think.

Nuggets/Knicks

We have a saying in fantasy .... The healthiest team in the playoffs will win. The Knicks are anything but healthy.

Pacers may still choke but they gotta be the favorite here despite being the road team. If Hart plays he'll be a decoy like when Wade suited up in game 7 vs Detroit in 05
Fantasy Hoops/Football/Baseball fans..

For info on a forum that actually talks Fantasy sports and not spammed with soliciting leagues, PM me. The more the merrier !

I was low key thankful that Indy lost to New York to ensure they would play again on Sunday and bump the Denver game to later as i could catch it in the night live and would have missed some of it, if it was in the afternoon.

That being said, it sucks we can't all watch the games live.

let me spare you the suspense. Knicks and Nuggets win. It's pre-ordained for a Knicks vs Celtics and Nuggets vs. Mavs Conference Finals with both series going 7. Gotta pump up those numbers for the next TV contract.

I just hope we dont get a Scott Foster special in any of those.


Been saying that about DEN / MIN all series.

Responses have been "FTs have been pretty even".

MIN has had to bench starters early in quite a few games while Denver has had to bench AG early only once (last game).

If the refs call an fair game, I think MIN will beat DEN.
KAT in the 2024 playoffs: 19.1, 9.0, 2.6 on 46.6 / 36.1 / 85.5.

My only hope is they are both close games with minimal ref interventions. Who end up winning does not matter.

Just feels like there is far far more at stake with the Minnesota at Denver game.

With the greatest of respect to the Knicks and Pacers (for a variety of reaaons) none will seriously trouble Boston in the East Finals.

The winner of Wolves v Nuggets is likely going to play finals.

Tony Brothers is the older black guy with the small mustache, right?
If so, I hope to God he isn't reffing any of these games. He's horrible! :banghead:

I’m curious to see who between ANT and Brunson plays best.

This is the same attitude that I have towards it. I don’t care much because it’s a different level of basketball.
