The first two series were clashes of style. Indiana is built like and plays closer to us than we realize. Whole series will be a sprint.

He has created some 2nd chance points on the offensive glass. He is working

but KAT nope sorry...he doesn't thinking enough well

keep it simple tell him to switch...and no the plan clearly wasn't to switch all screens.

Knicks need to keep playing this way and OG needs to get the nerves out.

We legit started playing a different uptempo style in the playoffs with Mikal a central playmaker that has everyone energized. The analysts saying we prefer halfcourt iso ball haven't been keeping up.

cam payne testing his limits to good and bad effect. thibs pulled the leash at the exact right time

brunson, mitch, mikal, hart, kat, deuce, all doing their jobs. og's playing sort of sloppy but he's contributing and we know he can pop off at any time

i'm very happy with that half. the game change whenever we pressed our physicality. i believe we got more of that in the tank in the 2nd half than they can handle

Since OG only played 16:30, he should pick up the load for Mikal in the 2nd half.


Mikal needs to rest when Haliburton goes to the bench.

But Mikal is also our best chance to defend McConnel because he is quick enough and long enough to play off him and bother his shot.

Maybe it’s a small blow mentally when you come out and make the first 8 and then you’re in a ballgame or a little behind
