Basically impossible to win with this defense.

We missed a bunch of open layups and open 3's.

The difference is execution. The Pacers are not missing their open shots

The defense is so bad early in games we do This every time. Lineups have to save us not schemes it’s scary.

I love Hart for his effort an energy but he consistently has some horrible turnovers and seemingly always at the worst time

Now we gotta hope Landry Shamet can bring us back

Another joke lol

Tom is the most incompetent coach I’ve ever seen… at least in these playoffs

Mitch should be on Siakam.

Can't we get anyone to guard Haliburton? I'm sick of seeing his 40 foot wide open 3 swishes.

That needs to change by bringing DWright and Shamet in. I don’t know why he took Precious out.

KAT/Hart/Shamet/McBride/Wright is what I would come out with to start the 2nd. Run everything through KAT.

NoDopeOnSundays wrote:Awful defense, and even worse we played at a ridiculously fast pace.

they dictate pace if they are going to push off misses....we are just not getting back.

all they talked about is they slowed the pace down in game 3 so you knew they would make an extra effort to push everything and we came out unprepared again.

Siakam and Haliburton played 10-11 minutes in the 1st quarter. I'm hoping they can't keep the pace up for 40 minutes.

KAT sitting the majority of the 1st quarter might be a blessing. If he can ease up on the fouls, he can play the majority of the rest of the game without needing much rest.

Now we need Jalen to sit because he's the only player who played every second of the 1st quarter.

Im not emotional mature enough to have hali pack us up

Pls start playing some fcking defense

KnixinSix · Post #756 » by **KnixinSix** » Wed May 28, 2025 12:38 am

Pacers were 15-22.

And 4 of the 7 misses were wide open shots.

We held the Pacers to about 3 bad possessions the entire quarter.

Red Vines · Post #757 » by **Red Vines** » Wed May 28, 2025 12:38 am

Could be a blessing when Hali tries those bombs later in the game and misses.

KAT deciding to commit two stupid fouls was not helpful

Bob Ross · Post #759 » by **Bob Ross** » Wed May 28, 2025 12:38 am

Knicks haven't looked confident or capable since 5 mins left in the 4th of game 1

Dave_R · Post #760 » by **Dave_R** » Wed May 28, 2025 12:38 am

The way to make the D easier is to have it set (not in transition - pacers have too many shooters). They'll get set on D if the post up and slow it down.
