Turner is expected to start against the Knicks on Sunday, but he'll have one tall task in front of him.
Porzingis has blossomed into one of the best big man in the league as he finishes out a week in which he has already topped 35 points twice. The third-year pro had 38 points in a 116-110 win over the Denver Nuggets on Monday and 37 in a 120-107 win over Phoenix on Friday.

Here's hoping we can somehow slow down Porzingis. He's flying a little bit under the radar because Giannis has been so dominant this year, but Porzingis has become a legitimate All-Star level player for the Knicks. 29.0 ppg, 7.8 rpg, 1.8 bpg on a good efficiency and great defense. At this point he's a far better all around player than Towns. Definitely in the running for the most improved player.
We really need this Myles tonight:
Should be fun, hoping for a good game. Both teams are probably pretty similarly matched.

Lol three minutes earlier and you would have had the top spot. Better luck next time.

I used to love playing the Knicks, even after Reggie days, bc i just have always hated them so playing them got me a bit more excited to play and potentially beat them. Now, that i get league pass i kinda hate playing them bc i have to watch it on the Knicks feed.
In any case, hope the Pacers put on a show at MSG. Contain KP and the game is all but won.

Should be an interesting game. Pacers have shown unwillingness to just give up and cruise. Ball movement is very good, all looks good so far.
Domas coming from the bench is also a dangerous thing. Like, pick your poison. Before Philly game Domas played three games "under the weather", managing to play most of the team's 37 minutes on back to back on the road against the Cavs.
Getting a W would be important, that would make Pacers record on the road 3-3 this season. And put them in the middle tier group of East conference teams.
Good luck today.

Porzingis is great and all, but if we play our brand of basketball this should be a win, they're not as talented or sharp from 3 point land as 76ers, but we have to make sure we play good ball and tight D, can't wait for game! Miles and Sabonis all the times should be sweet. Miles was a bit rusty on his shot last game, hopefully he knocked down some wood and will be hot

You should be able to select either broadcast if you watch online.

Ok guys read this post imagining the late Howard Cosell's voice reading it, "Hello again Pacer fans and aficionado's! Once again these two titans of the hard wood renew their rivalry of old! This contest hearkens back to and conjures up memory's of the days of yore when greats like that man Reggie Miller and Patrick Ewing lead their respective teams in battle time and again. Gone are the days of Miller vs Stark, and Smits vs Ewing, but today we see new giants emerge such as Myles Turner vs Kristaps Porzingis, and Victor Oladipo vs Tim Hardaway Jr! So sit back in your comfy chair and try to relax as these tall men in shorts do battle! I'm Howard Cosell."

Also, how do you not like Clyde? He's great.

We're guarding their bigs way too close on perimeter and picking up fouls.

**** absolutely everything about our 3 point defense.
I don't understand how you can just refuse to defend shooters.

Knicks went into the bonus with 7:30 left in the first. What a joke.
