I want a NFL Hard Knocks style program with a behind the scenes on the NBA league offices and their marketing department when staring down a Oklahoma City vs Indianapolis match-up of cities lol.

Knicks held them too their lowest output of the postseason in the last game…


That's untrue, Cavs held them to 104 points in game 3 of the semi-finals matchup. Also looks like the Bucks help them to 101 in game 3 of the 1st round.

Carlisle used his brain real good there.


I like Sheppard. Wish he was one guy we got back from Pascal trade.

Whoever said Brunson isn’t a true pg is right. He’s a great scorer but whose the playmaker for the Knicks to set everybody up?

Oh so he's allowed to throw a tantrum after every foul call.

But not other notable players that are better than him.

It looks like everyone in the audience is wearing orange shirts. Maybe it's my eyes deceiving me.

This Knicks team just seems to lack footspeed overall, getting killed on every half transition opportunity.

I was going to say the Pacers are turning into the Celtics, but they already extended the lead before I finished typing my post.

Everything difficult for NY. Everything easy for Indiana.

16 points is not at all insurmountable but that variance in ease makes it seem unimaginable that NY could win this game.
