Tyrese's scoring game is inconsistent. Not physical enough to force the issue, and while he's a good shooter, he needs to get good looks to go off from 3.

The playmaking is always there though. Creative and smart with a deep passing bag.

He's got a bunch of back to the basket stuff but he doesn't seem to like using it

Don't understand why the KNicks don't start the game with Mitch, they are a completely different team with him on the court.

Knicks and Refs made a nice move, but in the end Indiana's brain power will be too excessive.

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.

Not the perfect half but at least the Knicks have the lead. Cannot let Pascal looking like the league MVP, time to lock him down.

I'll take it. Much more Knicks pace, felt like we played very blah, and down by 3.

Just have to come out and change the game in the 2nd half.

Good half for us. More the pace than the score. But also the score. Namaste.

He doesn't have any go to moves. He's great with space bc his moves and shot are very Kevin Martin ish.

Knicks-Pacers series are fun, man. They are always super close and competitive.
