Pacers rebounding and defending well is surprising. Idk if it'll continue or not.

I didn't predict anything actually. I wanted to see Game 1 before I said anything.

Don't put words in my mouth thanks.

My thoughts on this series after the first half of play is that great offense beats great defense, and I'm not sure the Knicks are going to be able to contain the Pacers pace for the entire series. That half was played on the Knicks terms, and they're still down 4 points (should have been 7).

That is why you shoot those heaves at the end of quarters.

They can be game/series changers. Imagine the Knicks end up winning by 1 or 2?

so that's what a real offense looks like, huh? looks good

after watching the 76ers led offense, centered on their low i.q star vs. the Knicks...a refreshing and welcome change
they are moving the ball, making smart plays and are looking to score, not to bait into phantom fouls

This series is begging for a controversial call or a fight/verbal jabbing/chippiness. Right now it's just so flat.

Still half to be played. This was a weak half from the Knicks, expect them to bounce back in the second half.

They've been doing it since Christmas. People are just still stuck on what they were in November bc they don't watch.

Been telling people that for 2 months. Bucks fans didn't believe it either.

You mean down by 6.
Should be 9.

That’s why you take those half court shots. Most players are selfish and want to preserve their %, but coaches shouldn’t allow that. It could mean the difference between victory or defeat.

Players worrying about their shooting percentage would get worse by % 0.001 by not taking the heaves in a playoff game is beyond me.

Beyond soft.

Knicks running. Can the keep that up and only play 7+?

First half bench minutes

Knicks 13 minutes
Pacers 47 minutes

You don't stay at 28th in rebounding because of one bad month.

The defense maybe, I haven't checked the stats there.

Pacers bench is underrated. One of the best in the league.

They are pretty deep.

There are a lot of friends across the opposing teams. Need some time for that to be put aside during the series.

Will fatigue play a factor for the Knicks?

Well October to January isn't 1 month.

Who wins GAME 7 and goes to the ECFs?
