Haliburton needs to whip his head around more when he gets the contact on his drives

Nesmith might have stumbled onto something here.

Outflop a flopper.

Jalen Brunson - 18 points on 6/11 shooting

Mikal Bridges - 12 points on 6/12 shooting

50/50 chance Neismith does something wreck less to a player by the end of the series.


Good call :lol:

Anyone that likes Brunson but would hate on Shai for being a foul merchant would be the biggest hypocrite lol. Doesn’t mean you can’t like the guy regardless, but the man is a flopper and shameful foul merchant lol.

His point was exactly that we didn't come out rusty like he feared.


Yeah, not sure where the reading comprehension issue was there. That was clear as can be.

I've seen a few weird posts here, it's halftime of game 1. Some of these Knicks fans acting like a 7 point lead at half of a home game really means something definitive.


Hard not to feel good about a 7 point lead considering the Pacers shooting performance tonight.

Literally no one did that. The whole point was that our style wears on teams, not that you won't be able to score.


All week it was about how great the Pacers defense has been since January 1st. How much better the defense has been because of Nembhard and Nesmith. Not necessarily you, but can pull receipts on those convos


Nope. Not in this thread at least. The whole point that people in this thread were making was that our defense is no longer awful like it was last year. It's somewhere in that 8-12 range. Definitely never said that we'd be stopping Brunson.

In fact, I have consistently said the opposite. That we don't care if Brunson goes for 40+ as long as we defend your 3-point shooters.
