Besides backup center, the Pacers bench is just a lot better than the Knicks bench.

Jarret Allen isn’t winning you anything. Garland won’t show up in the playoffs. Mobley is a glorified dunk man. Mitchell has some experience but is a liability on defense. To me, the Cavs are a treadmill team.

Cam Payne needs to never see the floor again these playoffs. Absolute traffic cone. Use Delon Wright at this point...

NYK is too slow. Let's see how OKC fares.

It goes without saying but the Knicks have to clobber the Pacers backups for the Thibs' rotation strategy.

At what point of the series do we play defense? By halftime of Game 4 maybe?

Wow, I have my sound muted and I could still tell they waited to see if it went in before they called the foul. :lol:
