ECF Playoff Game Thread: Pacers @ Knicks, Game 5, May 29th 8pm

I hope OG works on his 3 over the Summer. I'm fearful to check how many open 3's he's missed this series alone.

He can make them, its a matter of how he can catch and shoot them is the question.

So let's work on catch and shoot.

KAT is going ham

We finally figured out they can't guard him.

In typical thibs fashion it may be a little too late!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[robillionaire]

Towns has 17 and 10 at halftime. And is +17. Nobody can say he didn’t show up for the series

[HerSports85]

i also don't like us rushing our offense at unnecessary times. Our goal should be to slow the game down.

[Stannis]

What's with Brunson trying to make these Magic Johnson passes lol

He's trying to get Mikal going.

This will only lead to getting the Pacers going

[Guano]

7 turnovers is still too much...cherish every single possession. Kat* can get a good shot.

Fixed

Brunson can get pretty much whatever he wants as well...he missed a layup turning the corner.

But option 1 should be KAT...especially with Turner in foul trouble. They have no size trying to guard him with Siakam or Obi is damn disrespectful.

Cool Brunson put Hali in action otherwise I want Kat going to the rack. Its most likely a bucket or he draws a foul or the occasional stupid play. But those have been rare and im willing to live with em cause they have no one yo check him.

[DaGawd]

I don't know what they do about Mikal, you go and look at his clips from even the Suns and it looks like a different player. The fact he's so afraid of taking layups is a horrific sign, that's like Ben Simmons level of terror.

if he’s not trying to take anything but a team friendly discount he needs to be dealt asap

and dribbling.

[K_ick_God]

Any possession kat doesn't touch the ball is dumb

Okay but you just called JB’s whole game dumb

[god shammgod]

opp is overrated.....i want to hear this

Watch on YouTube

[Red Vines]

The lack of attacking was in Mikal's draft scouting report but his 3ball was so good nobody cared.

[nyknicks09]

First half KAT has 17 points and 10 rebounds , a +17 while being frozen out of the offense when the Nova boys are in.

Mikal and McBride for Desmond Bane

[3toheadmelo]

Surprised that the pacers don’t play Jarace Walker. Such a better player than Obi.

[MrDollarBills]

We finally slowed the game down.

Grind them into dust over the next 24 mins

They have been freezing him out all yr. Especially jb

[Guano]

ok buzzardman ....speaking of, what happened to him ?

Haven't heard from him since that Pacers fan stabbed some knicks fans at a bar

jesus

Buzz definitely needed him

RIP to a real one

[TKKnicks1]

Hart 16 minutes. Mitch 12 minutes. What's the point of starting Mitch when you just gonna play Hart more??

[Clyde_Style]

Beg to differ

The team had the greenlight to attack the rim to start the game and it made all the difference to our offense

Our defense was better too of course, but we attacked and pushed the ball when possible and I agree with that approach

9-29 this series including tonight so far
