Love Brunson. This should be a great series.

Complaining about Brunson flopping but not seeing him get constantly fouled with no call a lot of the time. Keep flopping, Brunson :lol:

Btw kudos to Carlisle for not going to the stupid hack-a-Robinson, I don't think it helped Boston once in that series, just put them in foul trouble and killed the flow of the game.

I like Mitchell Robinson. Good things just seem to happen when he's on the court. 4 offensive boards in 9 minutes

Meh so it’s good defense. Like yeah 50% shooting for a wing is typically good, but that’s with the assumption that he’s hitting 3s or FTs…if he’s not, then that’s actually inefficient offense and I’m pretty sure the Pacers will take that.

Idk just a weird thing to brag about. Brunson I agree is a really good player and I don’t think it was realistic to actually think he could be stopped.


Mikal has flat out helped us win games in the playoffs because of that middy work and cuts to the basket. Don’t think any team is okay with a wing hitting 50% of their shots.


If it’s 12 points on 12 shots, it’s really not that damaging. You’re using 12 possessions to score 12 points. That’s a 100 Orating, which is WAY below average.

Thibs is bold playing Brunson with 4 fouls in the closing minutes of the 3rd.

He’s based Thibs if he still has him on the floor after this timeout.

Total BS.

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

Hate this ref BS.


Bro... he's not. They're calling anything someone touches Brunson.

I trust Haliburton a lot more to lead his team to victory right now than Brunson (JB's foul trouble being a significant factor to be fair)
