Pacers vs Knicks : Series Thread

I too am frustrated by Haliburton's passivity out there. I know he is a little beat up, but standing in the corner while Nembhard runs the offense isn't gonna win this series.

I assume the decision to put the ball in Nembhard's hands was made by the coaches.

I think we are going to find out over the summer that Ty's back during these playoffs was much worse than anyone let on.

He's looked pretty ragged at the press conferences post game. He had trouble walking down the 3 steps after game 4 (I think it was, maybe 3)?

There were a lot of people on the General Board predicting Knicks in six. I felt we wouldn't lose a home game six and predicted Knicks in seven but hoped for Pacers in six. I'm no longer confident we'll win game six.

I think they can pull this one out. Nobody wants a loss on their home court

Knicks fan coming in peace. I know Hali is "hurt" but if you play, you play - no excuses. To me, even prior to being hurt, Hali's biggest problem is that he has no midrange game because of the form of his jumper. Hali is a GREAT player when running but when the game slows down, if his 3 point shots aren't falling, he becomes very pedestrian. I don't think Hali will get to the "next level" in his career unless he fixes his shot.

Haliburton was 102/189 in shots from 10 feet out to the 3 point line this year for 54%. Jalen Brunson was 256/565 for 45.3%. In the playoffs, Haliburton is 10/17 for 58.8% and Brunson is 45/105 for 42.9%.

Brunson has been better at drawing fouls.

Yes, he owns a restaurant in Florida and comes up for big games. As I remember, one of our owners was a customer of his restaurant.

We call him the Flamingo Man because in addition to signs he has a pink plastic flamingo.

Nice win making it a home court advantage series. Hopefully the Pacers can figure out how to win in NY.

Big news although he still had 8 rebounds game 6 playing hurt. However his scoring was way down.

Can’t imagine that they’ll be much better than 50-75% effective

It still helps with depth and minutes. Could also energize their crowd (as if they need it).

My hope is that they are rusty or hampered just enough that their shots are off and they suck up offensive possessions from DiVencenzo and Brunson

A win with them playing will give us more respect.

Great start with the Pacers shooting 76% from the field and 78% from 3. Pacers by 12 at 39-27.

Interesting lineup! Ty, Andrew,.. and Shep,... 00
