Brunson is about to eat all series.

Easy 30ppg series if he wants it.

Not great end of Q management by Pacers has proven to be an edge maker.

RealGM tried to gaslight me into believing Aaron Nesmith and Andrew Nembhard would stop our guards.

Jalen Brunson - 18 points on 6/11 shooting

Mikal Bridges - 12 points on 6/12 shooting

Brunson giving SGA a run for his money as the biggest flopper/foul-baiter in the league. Pathetic.

Brunson's game is so ugly to watch. All he wants to do is sell you a foul.

As a Pacers fan, not feeling bad about that half. Expected the Pacers to be rusty, and chalked this up as a loss anyway.

They're in it though. They're not getting killed on the offensive boards, but it feels like every one of them has been points.

Love the coverage that TNT got on it, using old school dipset rap, showing new york fans as celebrities.

Ugh, so awesome. That's one thing you love seeing.

Nice flurry by Haliburton. Brunson responds. I'm here for that shootout.

He's been working on it since his rookie year. He wants to be Kawhi II. I just don't think he has it in him.


Sheeesh if thats what he's striving to be handles wise it's a tall order.

But even as is he's a fantastic player even without the handles.

This is like calling a fight after the first round. I would bet your boys can't keep this pace up as the series gets older.

I gotta say bud, the Pacers where sharp as heck. They came out swinging. Knicks weathered that storm. Robinson in has been a huge key. Also Knicks using the bench shook me.

I love the Pacers but they all gotta step it up too.

Since Brunson destroyed Amen Thompson, Jrue Holiday / Derrick White / Jaylen Brown in round 1 and 2... Pacers can't defend this healthy version of Brunson.
