They thought he was a goner but the KAT came back!

Now we need Minny to make the west a real series. We'll see of they can sustain the crazy ball pressure.

Everyone needs to STFU about free throw merchant already. Shai is scoring in every way possible without fts.

i thought brunson going out was important for them. they were able to play much better defense at the POA and then kat went nuts.

i think their defense will always be compromised with both brunson and kat out there together.

with that said, its not like indy has major closers to win tight games. brunson is better in haliburton in that regard. knicks can still come back to win the series but only if they win game 4.

That's the small guy getting to do whatever they want against the big guy discourse. A lot of what allows Caruso to guard up Cs.

Shaq complained about getting fouled on every play in his day and he's probably right

Hating on Shai is just another level of craziness.

Yah if Kat needs to have an excellent game to make up for his bad team defense.

I wouldn't depend on that to come through over the course of a 7 game series tho. Just seems like a bad guy for a series to swing on.

Kelly Olynyk was still in all those commercials after they traded him.

This woman is a disgusting pathetic loser. Can't believe she has a job.

Every game she calls SGA a free throw merchant. Like be professional grandma.

Good on Richard Jefferson for standing up for SGA. Shut her up real quick.

Shai was on fire now he’s ice cold. They need him to step up if they wanna win this one. Cason Wallace is Lowry.
