Okay Brunson is getting hosed by the refs.

Total BS.

Fouled on end...no call. Gave him weak 4th on other end.

Hate this ref BS.

If this game is close in the fourth approaching clutch time, Indy should seriously consider the Hack a Kat approach.

We have seem him plenty of free throws before, especially in close tight games

Reggie may be bias but he was right on that call.

I don't know how anyone can complain about SGA flopping then watching Brunson and Haliburton spend the entire game doing it.

Haliburton kicks his defender constantly and it's never called

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.


Bro it’s late , go to sleep , we tell you the score in the morning


What? No **** chance, mate. 5 AM is still early for me :wink:

Pacers aren't HUNTING Brunson on defense. I guess they don't wanna win.

Again, Knicks don't have a ton of offensive boards without looking at the box score, but I feel like they've scored on every one.

Killers.
