I'll have to look later and see what looks they're giving Tyrese, I am not picking it up live, but he's only settling for long 3's.

Usually that's what he does when teams are showing too much attention to him. Expected after a 31 point game.

We disagree on who the better teams but I agree with the first point. For what is worth, Pacers fans aren't the ones talking about an OKC-Indiana finals.

And neither are Thunder fans.

I agree. It's mostly neutral fans who aren't all that invested in the current series who are looking ahead. We all know that there's a lot of basketball to be played.

He's purposely coasting until the 4th quarter

Definitely better than last season.

Last season's playoffs were one of the more boring playoffs in the last 20 years.

I'm still not convinced tbh, he tends to disappear down the stretch in big moments, though I wonder how much of that is due to Thibs asinine scheme of Brunson iso

Yeah if the ball is too stagnant, Towns' post up play is too vulnerable to double teams. He's gotta get the ball in the flow of the game. I think Knicks being such a guard-driven team like Pacers, they forget the big guy.

Why is Obi Toppin still so raw and undeveloped as a player? He’s been in the league 5 years now

Wrong thread of the space-time continuum?

I meant to add that Harlan sounded more like excited for the Robinson play in the second quarter than Johnny Most during The classic “Havlicek stole the ball “

But I was tempted to use Space-Time continuum

Pacers just need to keep the game close until the 4th then Knicks will start feeling the pressure

you gotta see how Knicks respond to adversity. Someone is going to make a big run. I think it's the Knicks.

The adversity will be when they're up 20 with 2:12 left and its down to 3 when its :14.

Tyrese is getting too fancy with his passes.

They are playing at the Knicks pace right now. If the Pacers want a chance to win, they have to start rebounding and pushing the pace.

and we love them for it.

I think Indiana is the only fanbase that has had success and is still pretty humble.

I used to think Wolves fans were good, but all it took was 2x WCF and we're as annoying and delusional as anyone else.

I really enjoy watching the way Indiana plays, it just sucks they are in the same conference lol

I like Hali but for the media to call him a superstar they better crush him for this 1st half performance.

Any other star or superstar would be getting crushed for this 1st half performance
