KAT just can't help himself, he is in foul trouble in big games way too often.

Brunson's defense is awful.

The refs' out is "marginal" contact, which is completely discretionary. It allows them to call some contact that is technically a foul, and not call others that have the same amount of contact.

Well this kind of shooting won't get it done for the Knicks.

Pacers are just hunting Brunson. Passing up shots they would typically take, to find him.

Series is over.. you can't win a high level playoff series with a little guard who dribbles the air out of the ball on every possession and can't play D

playoffs expose everything. for however great brunson and kat are on offense, they are equally as bad on defense. thibs has to devise an entire defensive system to hide and protect them. the knicks defense is unable to expose anything on indy because those 2 are really bad.

Knicks are just panicking now. They are running Celtics 4th quarter offence
When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?

Please advise….

Poor Brunson. He needs help. Would Giannis want to come to NY and would Bucks take Towns/Bridges and filler in order to get at least something for Giannis?

This pace is too much for the Knicks. This series is done.
