Knicks strategic thinking:
  • we choked in game 1, letting the Pacers come back from a big deficit causing a momentum shift.
  • there for: we go down big in the first game in Indiana + let Pacers choke away big lead = momentum shifts back to us and we win series.

Carlisle gave this game to the Knicks.

Things haven’t been working for 10 minutes and absolutely no adjustments have been made. Knicks now have all the momentum and Brunson is well rested.

Pacers have been shook since Nesmith went out.

Knicks defense looks way different with Brunson off the court...

So Knicks bench players are not as bad as Thubs pretend. Knicks should fire him regardless of win.

Who knows maybe it works but this lineup represents an identity crisis for the Knicks. A three guard lineup with no Brunson. That can’t have played a single minute all season
When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?

Please advise….

KAT was the primary catalyst for MIN upsetting DEN last year. He is in the clear IMO


Matchup specific backed by Gobert and Naz as well.

Just watching him this series…so many dumb fouls, bad shots, awful defense. He has actually had a nice sequence since I posted &&&& about him though!

IMO Pacers point guards have FORGOTTEN Pascal on offense AGAIN. TJ thinks he's MJ and doesn't set up the other guys. Call some plays for Pascal.

Knicks should be looking to go up 2-1 right now without that game 1 collapse
