It'll be interesting in the series as the Pacers pressure shortens the shot clock for the Knicks. They are probably the best in the league at the end of the shot clock though.

It's an interesting push and pull as well.

NYK is too slow. Let's see how OKC fares.
Fares against Pacers? Bro lol it's not even half time of game 1 and it's a close game.

Stan Van Gundy is funny and I like him way more than most announcers. I don't think we need Reggie.

I think I like Sheppard more than Mathurin for the Pacers.

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.

Good stuff so far by the Knicks. Feeling super-confident they will take this game and the series.

Say that on Twitter. Do it.

You'll summon the Mathurin mob that wants to fire Carlisle for not playing him enough, holding him back from being Dwayne Wade as he's destined to be.

I just :lol: at them

It’s nice to see a game without foul baiting. Guys like Harden have soured the fun for fans

This feels like preseason compared to the WCFs.

What was that with OG lol
