They are better in a lot of ways without Brunson. He is their best closer but damn, if they could run the offense they run without him this team would look very differently. When he went out in march, they struggled at the beginning but then they found their way and it showed in the playoffs. The runs they made in 4th quarter in game 1 vs pacers and Knicks was without Brunson, and running the offense through og/bridges.

Turns out the Shamet curse was not about making the conference finals but winning a game once there
When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?

Please advise….

I hated the close of the 2nd quarter. Overall a good half. Far from over. The Knick have came back from down 20 several times in these playoffs.

Feel bad for Thibs. After having the most successful Knicks season in 25 years he’s probably going to get immense heat if this series doesn’t go at least 6 and if they get swept it’ll be like they didn’t even get to the ECF for some fans.

Okay not over yet but looking good for the Pacers— a really likeable team that plays the right way through and through.

For the Knicks, with 7 fouls combined from KAT and Brunson, a comeback in the second half will really be impressive and if they pull off the win here, a victory that not only extends the series but will give them confidence that they still might have a shot this best-of-seven.

I'll defer to the Knicks fans on this, but I dunno about that. At least Brunson helped lead them to a conference finals. Can't say the same about Melo in his tenure with NYK.

Pacers are about to cost me $10,000 to $20,000 in tickets for the Finals, and I'm here for it.

I was too young, and broke in 2000. Been waiting for this for a long time.

Knicks need to put Brunson and Kat on the bench to start the 3rd.

Based on the last like 50 years I think it's safe to assume he's not a Knicks fan.

Down 13 with the Pacers shooting 23% from deep. Woof. Thought the Knicks had a little more dog in them.
