I haven't seen him get scored on.

Maybe I missed it.



The need for the other 4 guys to have to rotate like crazy because Brunson can’t give a decent effort defensively

Nesmith is a mix of Iguodala and Klay, Fam

The Finals will be a battle of willpower between Nesmith and Caruso

Yeah idk how teams can win with a small guard, it's why I don't think a team can ever truly win with a player like Trae despite the talent.


Brunson’s offense has been carrying them though. Without him they ain’t scoring.

The best positioned team in this series is the one down double-digits in the 4th quarter. So ad Knicks actually?

Very disappointed we didn’t see any Shamet or Wright in that 3rd

I disagree, they could get more guys involved.

Those +/- differences tell you how much of a swing factor it was last game Nesmith got injured. It eliminated their answer for Brunny.

Now the most dangerous Knicks team will be out there.
Kat, Mikal,Og, Hart, and McBride. This lineup has hurt the Pacers and made them struggle.

Pacers should hope Brunson can come in not guard anybody and not move the ball

I'll play 2k again when they make it so realistic Haliburton 3's are either the loudest swishes on the planet, or complete airballs.

ISOing OG will not get them back into the game.
