Not sure what the Knicks are doing right now. I don't think they know either.

The Pacers don't need him to finish this series, but I hope he's ready for the Finals.

He’s been so key for us both offensively and defensively.

That looked like a really bad roll too.

Definitely looked like an ankle roll, just what grade.

****, Nesmith's ankle. I think it's the same one he missed 2 months with. A sad turn of events.

This is true. But maybe nobody does this year?

I think Denver would have been a tough matchup for them. OKC will be a good series. I am not sure about the Wolves , I think the Pacers would win that series. Completely healthy Celtics or even Cavs would have been competitive but Denver to me would have been the most equipped


Maybe, for similar reasons that they are tough for okc. I'm just thinking the Pacers are better than I realized.

Pacers have been able to answer Knicks' runs.

Dude Knicks what the hell are they doing?

That team is filled with veterans but the crap they do you'd think all of them are on their second year in the nba.

All these turnovers and the lack of effort is killing the Knicks right now. This just won't cut it!

Terrible possession there. Bridges dribbles into the corner, gets doubled, throws it to KAT, he tries to thread the needle to Brunson, which results in a turnover and basket on the other end.

Who starts in Nesmiths place? Thinking it’s gotta be Sheppard.

Fell out of rotation during the season but has earned his place back in the playoffs.
