    I heard that Thibs prays every night for a 6-man rotation.

    Knicks players are laboring and can't find the energy to run up the court on defense. Pacers just walking into wide open 3s.

    Pacers have a better chance at taking a couple off the Celtics than this beat-up Knicks team, right? Really hate how easy the Celtics have had it.

    neither team is a real playoff team, both are only here because of injury but indy has a better chance to get lucky once or twice

    Pacers, when clicking, play some beautiful fast break basketball

    Yeah, its been his thing for years too. Knicks should replace him going forward, he's never going to change.

    Goodness gracious, what a horrific offense the Knicks are running. They can be tired, but it doesn’t help that:
    1. Brunson does a lot just by himself, not involving teammates when he’s dead set on taking a shot.
    2. That they’ve received a lot of favourable whistles in previous games and are not getting those calls a lot now. Clearly Brunson is expecting fouls and looking for them.

    If the Pacers weren't so soft and silly with their fouling, the lead would be over 25 instead of just 15. Their shooting is not sustainable and the door will be open for the Knicks to make a big run. I just don't know if the Knicks can do it without OG and with Hart not 100%. Maybe Alec Burks can give them another 14 to support Brunson and Divincenzo.

    I don't trust the Pacers at all. Halliburton had 14 points in Q1 and ended the half with 16. It wouldn't be surprising if he finished with 20 or 21 for the game.

    If OG were playing and healthy, Knicks would win in convincing fashion. He is very important to them.

    If the Pacers are dumb enough to continue reaching, they deserve to lose.

    Pacers better bring in TJ McConnell before they choke this game away

    Just started watching this game. Knicks looking terribly defensively.

    No they wouldn’t, this shot making by Pacers is just crazy, OG would not have made that much of a difference.

    If only Halliburton had McConnell's heart and mental toughness.

    They better not find a way to win this game lol. I swear, at least the Pacers could put up some fight in the next round.
