Toppin fouled Brunson's arm as it pushed him

Indiana made a smart move trading Malcolm Brogdon for Nesmith and a 2023 pick (Theis, Fitts, Stauskas and Morgan were also in the deal).

Carlisle should've stuck with holding onto his challenges. Can't risk it on 50-50 calls.

Yeah, I wasn't in love with the challenge but Carlisle has generally been so good with them that he's earned my trust and I'm fine with him missing one once in a while.

It was on the arm during the shooting. that impacts the ball's trajectory a bit. Shuold've been shooting foul. Pascal doesn't get a lot of calls.


Are we talking about the same play? I was talking about the bunny after the post-up. I didn't see contact there with Siakam's right hand at the end.


It was the one before the fast break play after Knicks turnover.

Nice to see Hali with a good scoring game. Pacers are almost impossible to beat when he's hot.

Also just to add, Carmel Indiana is a super rich kid town. so this is a guy who probably had everytime opportunity in life and choose to be scum.


You are correct about Carmel, but I did a little background check, guy currently lives in Idaho. That's weird. His previous address was in Indianapolis, but a very mixed area. That zipcode has an area Pacers players live, and much, much less nice areas. He has a bunch of family in PA. No clue where this dude is actually from.

Don't ask how I got all that. :lol:

I hope you’re enjoying the game, officer :lol:

what makes it perfect thibs? Seems like Pacers' pace, and they are in rhythm with this pace.

This series is highlighting why Siakam is a much better player than OG. People had them in the same tier before the trade, but Siakam was always in a tier above OG (OG was just younger).

Brunson obvious backcourt dribble right in front of the ref. No call.

It is. Knicks have no depth relative to Indiana. This is a horrific start from my perspective.
