PG: Awful gameplan, not prepared, not 1 good performance
There are problems with the team, roster wise, obviously, but the combination of the roster and Tom is really toxic
It's dumb to start off with JB shooting every time after what KAT did but then again, KAT mostly sucked, our defense was awful, Tom doesn't know which lineups work or not, he's a mess. IF you start off with the presumption that KAT can win it again, maybe it happens ... he played badly, but only really badly after the team had already fallen apart
Hali and Pacers coaching was impressive ... Siakam has been great. Maybe they win anyway because:
KAT sucked
0g needs to go, he can't make a layup and his shooting kind of sucks
Mikal has zero awarness, no intensity, mopes around and looks blank half the time, tons of careless plays. And yet all he does is play every minute. The dude is a MAJOR disaster and it won't get better ... he's the king of meaningless 3's
Deuce got very little time or chances but did make a bad pass
Awful but probably still win the series if Tom didn't completely give away a done W in G1. Or at least, that propels them and they can eke out the series. Pacers came ready to make sure we didn't win ... and Tom, well he's Tom
Remember Game 1 should be like Remember the Alamo

Brunson got thoroughly outplayed by Haliburton. Shameful.

We’re still in this. Coach had us ready to come out strong but the players kept turning the ball over putting us in a hole. On to MSG

Indiana has played very well. Hali, Siakam, and Nesmith were excellent.
Also, the referees were good complementary players for the Pacers.

Haliburton killing the glass with 12 rebounds is crazy. Securing boards is absolutely vital in the playoffs.
When luck shuts the door skill comes in through the window.

Garbage coaching. Proved that last game was done out of spite on his end. He didn't plan on winning that game.

Re: PG: Awful gameplan, not prepared, not 1 good performance
Josh Hart and Mikal Bridges were absolutely pathetic tonight. They sold
Thibs gets outcoached yet again… so done with him
Can’t believe we were spamming Bridges down the stretch with how he played tonight

I’m surprised we can’t beat Indiana. Knicks in 7.

Re: PG: Awful gameplan, not prepared, not 1 good performance
We win game 1 thats still a tie
And we lost not 1 but 2 at home

Re: PG: Awful gameplan, not prepared, not 1 good performance
The team has only had one season, we should run it back with a few bench moves but keep the core and coach 2-3 more seasons.

Re: PG: Awful gameplan, not prepared, not 1 good performance
If KAT is injured it’s over for this franchise.
Not because he’s that great but because he will have 0 trade value this offseason.

Thank you, Rick Brunson.
