Broadcast gave Pascal ZERO props.

You wouldn't think he had 30 points.

He was also a beast on the defensive end - had KAT in hell all night and he had a monster block on OG in the 4th which the broadcast totally pretended like didn't happen.

No. He crossed a line with Giannis. If he wasn't Haliburton's father, he would have been permabanned from ever attending a game at IND

Despite the box score numbers, Brunson sucked.
KAT might be limited going forward but if not Brunson needs to figure out how to play off the ball so they can run actions through KAT more often.
The one time I saw Brunson throw KAT the ball not to finish but to get it to him, Brunson just stood there for a second or two and then eventually set a bad screen for him lol.
Like just cut and go to the weak side corner dude stop trying to make every play about you.

Eh no hate from me on Brunson, both guys are great in different ways. This Pacers team, as a whole, is just better than the Knicks. If Mathurin doesn't go on that insane heater in game 1 this might be a totally different series.

Still can't believe the Kings traded away Hali for Sabonis.

Poor Kangz ..

And this is all after passing on Luka

Like jfc man..

I complain about the Bulls FO striving for mediocrity but the Kings fans have been dealing with multiple cursed ownerships who think they are making 4d chess moves and shooting themselves in the dick.

Knicks fans celebration was premature. A second round series win isn’t the ultimate goal! In the end only one fanbase will be happy. Looks to be OKC, but if the Pacers close it out, they have enough to make that Finals very interesting.

That Mikal turnaround fadeaway middle when it was 1v4, instead of taking a contested layup… the moment the game changed

og, hart, bridges should definitely demand a bigger offensive role considering how hard they have to defend for brunson and kat.

Haliburton is the best American player in the NBA. Someone prove me wrong.

Siakam got away with A LOT down the stretch. Kudos to him for not getting called, but damn.
