how would the 98 pacers fare in the conf finals this year?

[Reggie43]

The Magic didn't even make the playoffs in 98 and the bolded above were past their primes

was actually talking about past playoff matchups in the previous years that they had with their core players

[Reggie43]

The '97 Hawks would lowkey be the 2nd best team in today's east.

Easily 2nd best, Mutombo, Steve and Mookie would even give Cleveland hell if they matchup. Dikembe would shutdown their frontline while blocking the shit out of Lebron

[AintNoSunshine]

What? They get swept in this day and age

[fourkicks44]

Swept





LeBron is also the Pacers Killer

Haha Pacers would kill Love and Thompson on the boards.

Tough match up against Lebron and Kyrie.

Series would go to Seven. Give me a Miller game winner in the clutch though, Lebron aint hitting it.

The Pacers were great but rebounding was not one of their strengths.
That starting lineup has one great rebounder dale davis who's still not as good as tristan. Rik Smits is one of the poorer rebounders you'll find at the center position. Also I'm sure Lebron is worried about a 35 year old chris mullin guarding him.

You know and I know that the Smits, Davis, Davis rotations was FORMIDABLE. And this was a time of dominate big men and frontlines. I rate Thompson, but he should be averaging 18 boards a game in this league. Seems the boy only wants to play when a big contract is on the line.

McKey would have had the defensive assignment on Lebron obviously and played more minutes. Like I said, would have been a tough match up. None of them would have played against a player like him. But having those boys clogging up the key with today's rules they would own the boards.

there's no way in hell rik smits would dominate the boards, I was being generous before he was a terrible rebounder for a center. There's a reason he gets brook lopez comparisons. You can be a good frontcourt but bad on the boards(Hawks a great a example).

[jstern]

The team was pretty good. They took the Bulls to 7 games, and that says a lot.

Firstly who ever said that is a moron.

Secondly if you correlate today's Hawks with 98 Pacers you are a moron.

Rik Smits', Davis', Davis' rebounding against Ewing, LJ, Camby and Sprewell? Mourning, PJ Brown, Weatherspoon, Majerle and Mashburn? Kemp, Ilgauskas, Potapenko and Sura?

Thompson and Love look like chumps.

Any Era... Deal with it.

[Lebron23]

Lebron is a soon to be 3x NBA Champion while Reggie Miller is ringless, and a poor man's Klay Thompson.

While Jordan is your God, and Miller took him to game 7.

Your point?

[Lebron23]

While Jordan is your God, and Miller took him to game 7.

Your point?

Jordan is the GOAT. Miller is not even a top 5 Shooting guard in NBA History.

The Cavs would take a massive dump on them. Keep raining 3's and pull Deke out to the 3.

Lebron playing in the 90s would be ringless as well so whats your point

Probably but they would atleast be better than the Raptors
