The narrative was that the Knicks starting lineup was so superior to the Pacers, we were not going to be able to handle it. So far here's the starting lineups overall ratings through 2 games.

Pacers (36 minutes): 133.8 offensive rating, 120.9 defensive rating, 12.9 net rating

Knicks (43 minutes): 112.2 offensive rating, 155.1 defensive rating, -42.9 net rating

Adam Silver bringing in the “extender” for this game. Guaranteed Pacers loss today.

KAT has been a defensive liability and so far Thibs hasn't found an adjustment. I voted for the Pacers in the poll but we're I to bet, and take the points.

Last game was a "must win" for Knicks but this is really a must win. Hopefully they can pull it off if not we're being robbed of a good series.

I wish I could make the polls close when the game is starting, or at any specific time. When I post the thread I can make the poll end a certain number of days later. Like, I could have made it end tomorrow at the exact time it was posted today. But the game is tonight and I can't make the poll close at that time or at any other specific time of day.

So if anyone's been wondering, yes I know it's kinda stupid that we can vote in the polls during and even after the games ends.

Hope Indy 500 and NBA game is better than F1 today over there in Indianapolis, because man, Monaco, I am so tired of that track, why they just not cancel it.
Anyhow, pulling for the Pacers myself.

Bruhhh

It’s wild that some refs are recognizable and known for being awful, yet, they still have a job.

Has an NBA ref ever been fired for poor performance?

Crazy this is as well known as it is.

I’m not familiar with racing, but I saw the crash earlier and was a bit surprised.

Not because of the crash, but the Indy 500 seems like such a massive event, I was surprised there was another Indy car race happening the same day. Which one is the bigger race? Is one of them a division lower or something?

NY hasn't seen a collapse like this since 9/11!

Monaco is an F1 race which is different from Indy Car. In addition to the cars being different, Monaco is a road course and Indy is an oval.

It's just as stupid of an analogy as the first time you used it.

Ah, thanks for clarifying. I know the tracks were different, but sometimes NASCAR will race on different style tracks. I didn’t realize the difference between F1 and Indy though.

I do not know anything about Indy car or Nascar, beside the fact Indy 500 is biggest event in Indycar calendar, also I played a crap ton of Indy car video game from 2001 Overall, Indycar and Nascar are American sports and not as popular world wild, F1 is the grandest racing thing worldwide, all the most famous and richest drivers are F1 drivers. the problem with Monaco track, it is street track were overtaking is basically impossible, so it is so boring and pointless, qualifying of Monaco GP is far more meaningful than race itself, the only reason they keep it I think, is historical significance, that track was part of F1 for like 70 years.

Funny thing is, that some F1 drivers for some reason used to not have drivers license lol. Max Verstappen, best driver in the world basically, didn't have drivers license for a long time, I believe he got it, cause I heard the story of people seeing him drive a Ferrari car, and he had to buy it with burner name, cause he is Red Bull driver, and Ferrari is one of their rivals in his sport that he does

That’s wild. How does that even happen?
