Sad thing is, Giannis would be in the.perfect situation for him at the Knicks but the KAT and Bridges trade have made that impossible to happen.
Leon Rose is almost as culpable as Thibs for the Knicks season ending in a fizzer.

strong close by the Knicks. They need to stop gambling defensively.

As much as I respect Brunson I hate guards that are horrible defenders. on top of that he is a bad undisciplined defender. If you are going to bench Towns for being a bad defender than do the same for Brunson. At least the offense will have flow without his ball stopping that gave them that run last game.

Keep it somewhat close until 4th quarter, that's all I ask.

Pacers are playing incredible on both ends!

Really good close of half by the Knicks though!

Wow this is crazy you guys

Not the best close to the second quarter but a great quarter overall and a very good half. We need to keep playing our style and we need to keep up our energy levels. We cannot afford to let up as the Knicks are still a super dangerous team, capable of erasing big deficits. They proved that in the Celtics series. We need to play the full 48 and win this game.

Just bench Brunson!

Better looks when Brunson isn't on the floor. The foul trouble is a perfect excuse to not play him much in the 3rd.. good end to the quarter playing team ball and moving the ball

Still somewhat doable for the Knicks but they HAVE to get off to a good start if they want to have a chance.

I've always wondered why teams don't run plays at a certain defender to get try to get them in foul trouble. Apparently it's not a good idea. Why?

They want to keep wearing him out on defense.

Carlisle has been a great coach for years now, smart strategy

Holy moly FOUR Knicks watching a Pacer sneak in and get the O board...

Nice 8-2 run to finish the half but not winning the hustle plays is poor competitiveness.

10 > 8

Wonder how this series would look if the Knicks had won Game 1?
