So we're just gonna act like this is so easy to replace???? Dude was leading the team in every category except blocks.

Celtics are in trouble...and I didn't realize Tatum was essential to keeping us off the offensive glass. :o Mitch is about to have a field day.

Lowe pointed out how KAT is holding up well in switches and how the Celtics kept trying to force 1 v 1 instead of just running their offense. Also, Simmons said what has been said on here, which is Brunson has been taking advantage of the playoffs rules on letting dudes play rugby so it's harder to hunt him in matchups because of how physical he's being on defense.

He said in his post game interview after game 4 that he was starting to feel like himself and his stamina was coming back. He has a personal agenda against the Knicks. He is going to be the X factor for them tonight.


When it comes to KP, it might be too little, too late.

I happen to like KP. Big fan of his. One of the reasons why I lost faith in the organization because how the KP situation was handled. No one looked good in this.

But, KP's stamina isn't going to magically come back. I'm not even sure if he'll get the start. Knicks need to continue playing him the way they've been playing him. Brown and White are the ones I'm worried about the most.

Beating the soft allegations now he needs to stop the stupid fouls so he can beat those allegations

In all seriousness his defense has been nice this run.

And he went 11/13 or some sht in a pivotal game 4 and getting lil love for it.

Don't count your blessings... If Porzingis can get over his chest cold, he's a guy that can drop 30. So is Derrick White (but not as efficiently if guarded well).

The Pacers are hard to judge, mainly because of how often a team they're playing falls apart with injuries. They aren't a good rebounding team, they don't get many second chances, and they play at a fast pace. It'll be a clash of styles, but generally speaking when a fast-paced team plays a slower one that can control the glass the faster pace team loses. The Cavs played at a similar pace, which is perfect for the Pacers as well, while we play at a very slow pace in comparison.

example - The Nuggets aren't as talented as the Thunder, but have dragged them into a nasty slower paced series.


Right meanwhile we have the pace advantage and also the talent advantage.

I agree they have spent too much time overthinking trying to hunt matchups instead of just letting the game come to them
