Pacers start the quarter asleep and let Brunson feel good. They are so dumb…

[BK_2020]

All I saw was Brunson shooting free throws before the 2nd half even started.

Nembhard got a technical as time expired in the first half. Knicks started the 3rd shooting the technical

Technical from end of first half.

It was the over helping defense in the back court after next possession that allowed Brunson to just run in for a layup that led to the timeout that I was talking about.

It's just facts, man.

Not all people are created equal.

Some are late bloomers.

Lol. Just stop already. Ewww!

Some of you guys keep saying he's soft.

That's partially true.

When JT gets contact, he gets off balanced.

That's from lack of strength.

Look at JB, when JB makes contact, the defender is the one who falls back.

It's just a little tweak that has a big effect.

Lol. He’s 26. This is who he is. He can bulk up even more and it won’t make any difference. Its either you have it or not. Don’t tell me a rookie iverson has a much develop body than a 26 year old JT. AI gets all the bump on a much tougher 90’s defense, and still have the body control to finish shots. Facts is, Tatum can actually finish shots with force if he wants to. He shows it from time to time going strong for dunks. He just doesn’t do it all the time, taking all those euros. Also he’s not finishing through contact because he looks for the fouls first, instead of the other way around. Also, a rookie tatum was a less finesse type of player than the one we’re seeing now.

[BRUNiNHO91]

That looks like a strained abdominal muscle for Hart.

[meatball sub]

color me surprised josh hart finally got hurt after all the minutes he's played recently

[BK_2020]

It's Alec Burks time.

[BRUNiNHO91]

Brunson gettin clamped by one of the worst defenses in the NBA LOL

[Celts17Pride]

It's Alec Burks time.

If Haliburton is guarding him he will have a quick 10 points in a hurry

Edit: Carlisle took Haliburton out

[zoyathedestroya]

All these teams suck. Cs should cruise to the Finals if they have their head on straight.

[Triple7]

McConnell vs PP should be fun.

[Celts17Pride]

This game is far from over because Indy doesn’t know how to defend

[BRUNiNHO91]

I’ve watched all the Knicks games and most Pacers games and I just can’t imagine a realistic path to either team getting more than 2 games on us. Maybe if Tatum gets injured but even then Jrue, Brown, Horford and White might be enough.

DWhite could average 40 ppg if Haliburton is on him.

We'll just have to wait 1 or 2 more years.

If at the age of 28 nothing has changed then it's true he is what he is.

Right now I think JT is just at 85% of his full potential.

Just wait a little bit longer.

I’m not joking

It made me laugh because it reminded me of November, when I kept hearing about why Tatum can't be like Haliburton.

[BK_2020]

Why doesn't Hart just take the rest of the day off and go home. He looks miserable.
