Regroup, get Game 2, we're back in business. Play smarter, not harder. Don't let 'em play their game. And, of course, mind the guard hour and the ECF VIP room dress code.

LET'S GO!

Yes yes and yes....


Playing 7 guys if we aren't able to slow down the pace is asinine.

No, before anyone says "oh so Precious is the answer now? lol" , that's not what I'm saying. We are up against a team that plays at a break neck pace and has 11 bodies rotating in and out. Trying to run 7 men against that isn't sustainable. Tom needs to lean into Shamet, Precious, and I'll say even Wright to help out instead of running OG and Mikal to death and then calling them scrubs when they make mistakes or lose situational awareness when they're running on fumes.

You think Indiana plays 11 starter caliber players? They don't.

You beat me to it MRDollarBills. Is Carlisle putting Thibs in a trap with the crazy pace they play at. They do have a 9 man rotation and honestly they have to with the crazy pace they play at. Thibs has to slow the game down somehow. That's definitely an advantage for the Pacers.

One thing getting lost in this… we did a terrible job boxing guys out which led to a ton of 2nd chance points for them. Gotta clean that up.

The only solace I'll take from game 1 is Nesmith will never go on a stretch like that again in his career, shooting that many 3's in a row in a 3-minute span, and Hali will never make a shot like that again in his career. It legit took those two things for the Pacers to essentially steal game 1. The Knicks outplayed them for a majority of the game.

Win game 2, and everything is forgiven. We all expected this to likely be a 1-1 series after 2 games anyway.

that was a good game most of the way through. it was being called pretty fairly on contact, but when we lost our challenge we subsequently got a bunch of calls overturned against us along the way. felt a little oppressive in that regard. still, i don't think this came down to reffing

we lost. this is why i didn't mind starters on the court in the fourth quarter against boston game 6. in this game, we were straight up caught off guard. to be fair no one could expect nesmith to do what he did. but still, we weren't ready for that remote possibility. part of that is on brunson being in foul trouble and re-inserted with plenty of time left for desperate shots from his defensive assignments. part of that is on him being cold with his handles upon returning to the game and spacing out on some decisions. part of that is on og for looking like he wasn't ready for work, kat blowing defensive rotations, missed free throws all around, etc, etc. we failed enough to cough it up

but for most of the game we did enough to win. mikal actually had a really balanced game. brunson was hellbent offensively. kat was tallying up the points we acquired him to add. mitch looked like a force of nature and was winning us the game. deuce was getting it done too

i don't believe that nesmith shooting 100% from 3 and haliburton hitting the reggie suddenly means it's over. i know that we are traumatized but let's see how this series progresses. last night they both came off extended periods of rest. let's see what they look like as that rest shrinks in the rear view

Go look at his playoff 3pt shooting numbers thru rounds 1 and 2.

The only ones who didn't get the memo is the team and staff.

part of that has to do with how we have to rotate to cover the three.

like, that obi putback late was because mitch started on a closeout. fun times indeed.
