I don't think that's what Thibs taught him.

Pacers need to let Siakam cook. TJ needs to get his head in the game.

Thibs must leave him in if Indy decides to play hack a match. If Indy wants to go with that strategy force them to rack up individual fouls

Thibs should know better. The team is better when he looks to pass first in the early parts of the game.

I can't believe the Knicks are challenging things early again. Even if you win it, it's silly.

We saw how important the Pacers having all their challenges were at the end of the last game.

I would fight people on the Knicks forum for Mitch to just get a touch or two on offense because of how hard he works.

Tony Bradley in means that Thomas Bryant isn't returning. It's probably a dislocated finger.

Sucks for Bryant.

I just realized a Pacers Timberwolves finals would be two teams coached by the two lead characters in Dumb and Dumber.

I’m not a fan of that challenge even though we’ll win it but I can understand it since I’m sure we want to keep this momentum

Mitch can have a bigger impact than Towns because Mitch is such a low maintenance player but gives you so much.

Love it! Mitch like Shaq, you have to do anything you can to get him off the floor. The man is a game changer.

Pascal scoring 67% of the Pacers' points...not a great start. Seeing how this game is going, hopefully Thibs will bring KAT back in :lol:
