Don’t forget the Nesmith revenge series

He's still a bit reckless, banging into people.

Yep. He gets praised for strong defense but it’s literally all just chaotic energy.

Bad end to the 2nd quarter for the Pacers, could come back to haunt them.

Going to go out on a limb and say if the Knicks let up 70 points to the Pacers in the 2nd half they won’t win

15 is manageable for NY. They had short spurts of solid defense, but they’re going to need all of that in the 2nd.

Also what is SpokeNote and why did someone think putting a QR code on their jersey patch was a good idea? That can’t be a high converter.

Who's the Pacers Backup Center?

I think Indiana is going to tighten up soon. Brunson will be a little better and this thing will get real close.

I could subscribe to that. Felt like NY was just running out of gas but thankfully for them it looks like they’re pulling OG from the game. Only 4-5 minutes but he was so bad out there.

time for hali to disappear and for siakam to completely **** the bed in the 2nd half

My money would hate that, my Celtics fandom is fine with it. These Knicks are in ROUGH shape.

You sure about that ? :lol:

Whoever it is, they gotta Play us in 2 days.
Practically no time to heal.

They clearly rushed him back.

15pts, isn't really a lot.
Knicks could come back. Especially at Home.

Anunoby wouldn't have played, if it wasn't a Game 7.
They have virtually No Time to heal, though.

They just don’t seem like a team with enough energy or health to play 24 minutes of solid defense against one of the best offensive teams in the league. This will have to be a full Pacers choke job and I’m very confident in them to do it. Lol

Yeah, he’s done. He’s not playing again until next year at this point regardless of the outcome of this game.

I’m in the same boat. Can’t deal with ESPN declaring them some prodigy team for getting to an unlikely ECF.
