Knicks have looked better this game with Brunson sitting tbh.

Deuce McBride is really making a name for himself as a solid back up for Brunson off the bench.

Sometimes I think he is too good to be a 6th Man and should be a starter.

Mitchell Robinson has been a bloody significant factor defensively for the Knicks.

Very impressed with this final quarter by the Knicks.

I owe Knicks fans an apology. Never knew how good/crucial Mitchell Robinson is to their team and core. And it's great to see he finally he has has a decent run of injury, especially in the playoffs.

Pacers threw everything at them, Brunson has had to sit because of foul trouble, this is a mature and nuanced performance by the Knicks.

Got to give credit where credit is due.

I don't understand why Haliburton just disappears in games. He's had open looks and passed to teammates who've been forced into tougher shots. Meanwhile his teammates have completely abandoned the three point line in favor of driving into the paint against long defenders and two seven footers.

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.

Bryant fouled.

Indiana probably did a ton of work designing their defense for Brunson.

when he sits it might have loosened things

First it was Detroit in 4, 5, 6, 7
Then it was Boston in 4, 5, 6, 7
Now it's Indiana in 4, 5, 6, 7

You are a joke lol

Dolan better get credit if the Knicks actually make a run.

Embiid injuring Robinson screwed the Knicks last playoffs. That team needed every oReb they could get and his defense was sorely missed. Even with as good as iHart played.

IND needs to make back up C a top priority this summer. They are absolutely cratering when Turner is off the floor
