    They do score in the paint consistently....shooting only 27% from 3.......a good brand of basketball.

    Pacers really let things slip to finish the half and they should be up by at least 20. But we don't know if the Knicks have enough in them to make this a game.

    Brunson's body language does not good at all, partly because he's not getting much help. Miles McBride and KAT apparently lefts their heads in the locker room. How stupid can you be?

    I want to see if the Pacers have the killer instinct to end this game early.

    Defensive coach triples down on defense. Sound familiar? ;)

    Star PG

    CF dream big man who can shoot threes.

    No bench.

    Oh, we got Hart? Let’s go get Anunoby & pay him $40M per year.
    Oh, we got Hart & Anunoby? Let’s trade 5 firsts for Bridges.

    Traded Randle, DiVincenzo & 1st for Big PussyKat (ha, both were benched)
    Don’t think they could match OKC’s offer but Hartenstein also walked.

    Honestly, should’ve lost to the Pistons.

    If I was Brunson, I would demand a trade to the Rockets when his season ends. Rockets role players are infinitely better than the Knicks. Amen, Jabari, Sengun, Tari, etc...

    Insert *literally any Pacer guard* instead of Jalen Green, and this team would be infinitely better.

    Absolutely crazy the input they're getting compared to Failen Green.

    Even with the Knicks bringing in noted Defensive Specialists OG and Bridges along with having Thibs who has a reputation for Defense, they weren't much better than the Pacers on Defense during the regular season.

    Knicks suck but Pacers are leaving the door slightly ajar.

    halliburton looking to get guys too involved vs just getting the win. Their demeanor is coasting a bit

    Hope JBB succeeds one day but yes give the Pistons 1-2 years they should be playing the Pacers now.

    JBB should lose his Udoka ways and focus on Offense.

    They just showed him on the bench and he looked like he was about to cry.

    KAT would legit be in contention for best player in the world if he wasn't so consistently a soft b**ch. When he's aggressive, he's a beast.

    Nothing against the Pacers but it would be good for overall bball if Knicks made it at least to a Game 6.

    Stamina and whole Defenses focusing on him......

    If only Steven Adams could score a little like Porzingis, what would have been.......
