I can't believe we have to listen to this guy all series. So annoying.

Yeah would rather not have to hear him in this series.

To his credit though when Boston destroyed us in the season opener, he was vocal in saying that this game is not a barometer for how good the Knicks will be. He said after we gel, it's on.

Sing it: "That's what mute is for"

Defensively vs Siakam/Turner.... that is where there will be a mix and you live with the results.

The Celtics were a worse matchup really. And we pulled it offI think KAT/Mitch/OG and a little Hart on switches for those two

Will it be perfect...no. But if they switches are timely it will be good enough.

OG can neutralize Turner quite a bit and his 3 ball. KATs biggest weakness is probably defending the 3. Siakam is not a 3 ball guy that is why you put KAT moreso on him.

That with Mitch mixed in is for defensive purposes is probably the best formula

I’m surprised at how many people are picking the pacers

Good. Let the disrespect continue. Extra motivation.

A few encouraging stats heading into this series:

VS Indiana this year:
Jalen Brunson- 3 games- 22-4-7 on 53/50/81 +20
KAT- 3 games- 30-12-2 on 57/47/89 144 ofensive rating
Josh Hart- 3 games- 22-10-5 on 63% shooting +14
OG- 2 games- 20-4-2 on 57/50/83

Mitchell Robinson hasn't been available to play a game against Indiana in 3 years....

Bridges will be the X-factor in this series. Play the defense on Haliburton that he was on Brown. This series is a lock.

Knicks in 5! LFG!

Knicks get zero respect but according the Ferengi Miller Knicks are frontrunners.

People don’t realize
Indy played the Bucks without Dame
They then faced an injured Cavs team with Garland out and returning late, Mobley out for a game, Hunter out for two games. And Mitchell out for a second half of a game. These add up

They will be facing a healthy, rested Knicks squad. They won’t know what hit ‘em.

These fools have been lucky with injuries for 2 straight post seasons. Time to give them the spanking they rightfully deserve.

betting odds are in favor but I am more than happy with still playing the underdog role.

turner takes a lot of those wide open and in rhythm off the trail.

the pacers are really good at moving the ball. it's their superpower. they have to be as uncomfortable with that perimeter ball movement as we eventually made boston. we do that and bully the glass, it could get late early.

the team that won the glass won every game last time around.

I think it will be the opposite. OG has had success on Siakam because he can get up into him and pressure his weak handles trying to drive in. KATs problem isn't contesting 3s, it is quicker guys like Tatum being able to get into step back 3s on him. Turner is a stand still shooter. KAT just has to stay at home and stay long. I would rather Turner settle for the 3 than get easy roll dunks.

"If I go back and put on my sh*t and suit up, I wanna f**k up Haliburton," the elder Hardaway said. "I wanna go f**k him up. He talks so much sh*t. I wanna go back and bust his mother***in a**. ... I want to bust his a**. And he think he all that."
