it's funny how dame/giannis never found synergy and brunson/kat haven't either. both those guards are really shoot first.

Bryant? Yeah, of course, he played in both of our previous series. He even what a great spurt in game 5 against the Cavs when he scored 9 quick points during a span where Cleveland was struggling to score.

Bryant has done a fine job for us this post-season.

Mitch gets held on rebounds 75% of the time. Towns get hacked on 75% of his drives. Refs don’t care

Mathurin had a d wade whistle in game 4 though folks

Did you watch the first 4 games? They were very effective in past games and are effective in this game too

Also, the guards are on-ball heavy and Giannis doesn't love rolling.

It's a great lineup that accentuates KAT's strengths and minimizes his weaknesses.

It works because the pacers defense is so bad that any lineup can score on them. And that lineup is better at defending them as well

We could probably win the game easily if we just played delon, deuce, Mikal, OG, towns primarily. Delon was +11 and only got 9 minutes last game so I don’t think thibs is smart enough to realize

I watched them but he didn't leave an impression on me lol. yeah maybe his finger's still bad but he's not a shooter is he? Play him for Toppin's minutes.
