NY is playing Brunson vs the world, Indiana is just finding the open man and team game. I’m all aboard the Pacers express.

That Nesmith run was Tmac-esque.

I will say if they call that goaltending which looked obvious in real time to me the Knicks probably win in OT, that is tough.

Pacers outscored the Knicks 20-6 in 2.5 minutes in the 4th. Firepower.

20 pts in 2.5 mins is wild. Gotta imagine that these crazy runs are going to flame out at some point.

NY played a dumb last few minutes.

Really happy for Nesmith, always thought he had more than he showed at the Celtics, wanted him here but he is for real

The Pacers as a whole, stepping up as a team for a 2nd straight year in the playoffs, is this Heat like?

Can't ever imagine the Magic making 7 in a row :lol:

Although I think we would never let the Pacers come back on us cause we will shoot with 23 seconds off the clock. Actually kinda works because we only had a few heartbreakers this year.

Agreed. I dont think a comeback like that can work against us because we probably incur 24sec shotclock violations like it was on sale.

Probably, first data i got was from podcast :lol:

Credit to Pacers, level of confidence and belief required to pull it up is amazing.

Whether Indiana is up or down, they continue to play the same.

When teams try to run out the clock or take chances when they're down is when they get in trouble.

Carlisle is a jerk, but he's one of the best X's & O's guys...that team works hard off-ball. Lots of movement and built around a Point God. Really well assembled roster too.

The end of that game exemplified everything I’ve wanted to see from my team at the end of a game down big.

First, a team that realizes math. We have three minutes to make up 20 points, let’s maybe have a little pep in our step, shoot 3s with a few seconds off the shot clock and not sit there trying to bounce the air outta the ball.

Secondly the team actually made 3s.
