The Pacers haven’t made a single intelligent decision since.

Not one.

The Knicks are way too happy to watch him pound the rock on offense. Idk why they only run plays when he is off the court.
They move the ball and play much better team defense when he sits.

Also the Pacers gameplan is built around defending Brunson, when the Knicks run anything else it throws the defense for a loop. They are way less predictable.

I honestly believe Brunson has not fully healed from his ankle injury late in the regular season which is why he hasn't looked anywhere near his best in this series.

Knicks need other guys aside from KAT to step up right now.

But wow it's The Karl Anthony-Throw Down Show right now and I am loving it

Matchup specific backed by Gobert and Naz as well.

Just watching him this series…so many dumb fouls, bad shots, awful defense. He has actually had a nice sequence since I posted &&&& about him though!


And now he is taking over the game


Yup, playing great now like he’s capable of. They wouldn’t have been in such a big hole if he didn’t play like poop early.
