If we're whole we should beat them, they have been playing well, but it's really hard to tell just how good they are considering both their opponents have been injured. What I do know is that the 7 game series would have been over in 5 last year if OG didn't get hurt. I would expect a big series from OG here, because they don't really have a matchup for him, Nembhard is too small, Nesmith will be on Jalen, Siakam is too slow.

The only thing I worry about with them is injury, and their whole gameplan is centered around getting Brunson tired by pressuring him full court the way they've done Mitchell.


I really don't want to get into strategy vs Indy since we aren't there yet but your like dragging me into this convo.

If Thibs is smart we put KAT on Siakam defensively....we put OG on Turner...and Mikal on Hali....so if they run the Hali/Turner pick and pop we basically neutralize Hali scoring ability with OG switching on him...and we take away the pick and pop 3 ball game because Mikal is long enough to deal with Myles Turner...if they want to eventually post up that matchup a lot I don't really care.

They probably will have to use Hali/Siakam P&R but Siakam isn't really a high volume or high eff 3 ball shooter (even though he's hitting them this year). And for the most part KAT should be able to stay in front of him and recover.

Brunson is strong enough to not mean Nembhard can bully him.

And Hart is a much better matchup for Indy than he is for BOS. Who is going to guard Hart on Inday? If It's turner...and then Siakam is on KAT...and they guard Nesmith on Brunson...so Hali either has to be put on Mikal or OG...which Hart and OG would be way too strong for him....would should be able to kill them on the glass. Even if we go with our big big lineup its going to creat some strong mismatches...I think in a lot of cases they will be forced to put Hali on Mikal...and then I would just spam P&R with Mikal as the ball handler...

here I went not wanting to look ahead and I did already...



Yes, you articulated what I was thinking about Hart much better. I think he's much more dangerous to Indy. Boston has a bunch of guys who can deal with him.


Yup Hart value is on his strength an motor. With Boston putting so much size on him he is basically not as valuable (even when someone like Holiday or White are strong enough to box him out). I don't think Indy has the personnel to play a big on Hart or they risk a big mismatch somewhere else.

Hart was killing Indy last post season before he got that abdominal injury.

Not a bad line.

KnicksGod wrote:Defense is obviously huge and Mitch proving me wrong about defensive impact

But it's really extra big when Mitch can get a dunk here or there ... Utah's offense uses Rudy a ton for dunks and it is actually a key part of their offense

I laughed off the idea of looking for Mitch ... but I think his couple of dunks played a huge part in the game ... if he's scoring just a little, it's a game changer

Yeah, but we have to throw him lobs, so he can catch it in the air.

The problem is when we try to pass it to him on the ground where he has to catch it in a crowded space where it's trouble.

3:21 to go...Machine Mikal rises up and makes his patented midrange shot. Knicks go up 111 to 104 and Mikal is greeted by Precious and Huk as he talks his ****. MIkal declares Knicks 4th quarter dominance extending their lead and control of the game. DOG!

Awesome. KAT at the 4 was always my vision. I don't care if it starts as long as it finishes.


Did the Knicks just rope-a-dope the entire league on their plans to recreate KAT/Gobert, only with a star PG?

I feel like this plan was hatched by World Wide Wes, because he has that espionage/CIA like mindset.

Since so many people have underestimated us for so long, I love watching all the so-called "experts" squirm today trying to explain how the KNICKS are 1 game away from going to the ECF and that all their expert predictions were 1000% wrong! :lol: :nod:
