This lineup is also quite a bit slower, with less play making

We Cant outrun the Pacers unless we shoot over 50% from the three

The only ones that drive to the basket in traffick and in transition are JB, Hart and OG

I kinda prefer to start Deuce. If the POA is is well-defended, they don't get into the paint so easy. And offensively, that's 5 willing and capable shooters.

Towns is to big and slow to play PF. Siakam just dropped 39 on OG head, i guess he will get 45 points tonight on Towns.

Right?

Like these are games within 5 pts at the buzzer. That means the games are coming down to late game execution and coaching.

Blowouts happen when there’s a large gap in talent. When games are this close it’s coaching and execution. We can win this series 100% but we need thibs to be better and we need to have strong 4th quarters.

We’ll see. Gave back momentum that was like found gold for Indiana

Huge blunders and I think it would take huge unlucky things happening to Indiana to give it back

Sad but true but what happened in G1 is a truck hitting you because you went through a red light

That would be ideal but Bridges cant be benched if we plan to ship him in the summer

If I was the coach than thats a bon brainer

Wright
Shamet
Bridges
Hart
Achiuwa

Would be the best bench in the league too

Game 1 was 1 game. We came out in game 2 and we had leads and the game was close but we got outcoached and had poor execution down the stretch.

This team is more than capable of winning against the pacers. Their defense is so bad that you’re always in it.

Can't push him when he is running around Towns. Towns have trouble against speed. Good luck.

You might not be able to understand or relate, but I need the Knicks to win....I don't have a hate-filled agenda towards any player on this roster...I'm happy to go with whatever lineups/player combinations work. JUST GET THE WIN.
