Ugh, the way this is going it looks like the Pacers will just settle on closing this out at home than fight in the 2nd half. (Bad call on my part predicting a Pacers win when previous night i was leaning hard on a Knicks win.)

i know these are the miracle Pacers with comeback wins throughout these playoffs but it does feel like they just don’t have it tonight, while the Knicks are playing inspired?

good god. is that his claim to fame? jumping on the back of a social media empire built by a fake sex tape.


The internet says he's been nominated for two Oscars. He must be an actor. Also, he was in Dune. Even I knew that, kind of.

Jarace Walker sighting!

Good defense there.

Bryant? Yeah, of course, he played in both of our previous series. He even what a great spurt in game 5 against the Cavs when he scored 9 quick points during a span where Cleveland was struggling to score.

Bryant has done a fine job for us this post-season.


I watched them but he didn't leave an impression on me lol. yeah maybe his finger's still bad but he's not a shooter is he? Play him for Toppin's minutes.


Bryant is a shooter. His main thing for us is that he can stretch the floor and we can run the same actions we run with him that we do with Myles. Bradley, on the other hand, isn't a shooter so we play differently when he's not on the curt as he usually occupies the dunker spot (while Bryant is in the corners).


His finger must still be bad to not be using him right now and instead suffer Toppin this game. Oh look Carlisle trying Walker!!!

The Knicks need to close this half strong. Don't let the Pacers sneak back in.
