And to give those two bad defenders any chance on that end, you have to at least keep them fresh, which Thibs will never do.
Well, Brunson, anyway.

Knicks are going to need a sports psychologist this summer to get over the choke job. They need to work on mental aspect of their game right now.

Not a great foul there by Sheppard but I do admire the aggressiveness to go after what could potentially be a 50/50 ball.

Yes send Spike Lee and every celebrity Knicks fan to Giannis’s house and convince him to come to NY next year

The Bucks not looking so bad now. All they needed was Dame as a decoy to take a game, too bad he got hurt immediately after that nice g3

That's not going to turn Jalen Brunson and Karl Towns into an average defenders unfortunately.
Would have been better off not trading for towns.
Dude still All-NBA. The whole team looks shook now.

objectively ask yourselves if Nemhard is not hitting Brunson the same way the entire series

The Pacers actually hired a sports psychologist after last year's playoffs. She worked wonders as evidenced by our comebacks in this year's playoffs.

Knicks put all their energy into beating the Celtics, they're running on empty against a fast paced team like Indy.
