The longer this series goes, the more likely it is that the Pacers make things interesting at the very least. NYK should win in 5, but the high minutes are going to catch up to them quick, especially considering the pace against Indiana. Hart and Brunson in particular are going to get gassed; 46.5 and 44 MPG in 7 playoff games so far while doing everything is absurd. And if Brunson runs out of gas, the Knicks are pretty much toast either this round or the next.

The OG trade is really starting to bite them now. There is no one else who can create for others and initiate and now they could really use Quickley and RJ. Brunson is surrounded by play finishers and has very little help.

The defense has been solid even without Gobert, but the lackadaisical play from the Nuggets since the Lakers series is showing here, and they won't have the luxury of coming back in the second half like they did in the other series

MPJ might have to be the hero in this series as he's the only one with the length to get his offense going consistently against the size out there. I think he's got too much Tobias Harris in him to really take over in a game, though.

One of the only teams if not the only team in the West that could defend the Boston Celtics would be Minnesota.

If Minneosota wins the championship...I wouldn't be at all surprised.

I can already feel the nightmares that Jalen Brown is going to have after a 14 turnover game against Minny.

They don't have enough salary to make a trade work without dipping into the starting 5

I still can’t believe they called that with 30 seconds left in a playoff game. Really feel bad for the Pacers there. With that said, Haliburton was horrible down the stretch with careless turnovers. If they are going to win this series they need more from him. Knicks made big plays down the stretch. OG, Hart and Brunson were fantastic. Although Brunson is pretty shaky with the ball at the end of games.

This is insane. I saw some cracks in the armour with Denver vs Lakers but I didn’t think it would be this bad vs Minny.
