It’s a 40 piece, you can see him trying to get to it but easing off the gas sometimes

He'll get whatever we need him to, but elimination Cap is an apex predator, they gonna need the Avengers.

Cap has to be careful though in getting baited by the Pacers to speed up the pace. Similar to Game 4, JB might fall to the allure of lighting up the scoreboard but the tempo will benefit Indy.

We've controlled the pace in 4 of the 5 games, if we limit turnovers they can't run, especially if we're going to press up at times after a basket,

Dang, 4 of the guys from the '04 and '05 squads!

Marbury / Houston / T. Thomas / K. Thomas

Lets be real, we're not worried about Cap showing up. We need another strong performance from mitch, kat to limit the dumbsht, and a repeat of this defense.

Mitch just needs more minutes, I don't know why he only played 19 tonight, considering he dominated them.

KAT is gonna get his 20+ and 10+ boards, he's gonna have some dumb fouls. What we need more than anything else, is for Cap to make them feel what we felt after game 1, drive the knife through their hearts with one of his elimination game performances that let them know they're ****.

Feel as confident in all that happening as the sun rising.

CANT WAIT!

He’s got to get the action going with 12 seconds or 10 in the shot clock each possession. Getting high quality buckets in the paint then limits Indy’s possession the other way

Counted what? I agree about minutes.

Any updates on this tweet?

His good plays verse bad plays. If Thibs sets Hart to 25 minutes and ups Mitch, Deuce, Shamet, and Wright by 2-3 mins each, we can take this series confidently.

I’m angry af
I’m foaming at the mouth the same way I was with game 6 in Detroit
I’m so damn angry

I would really appreciate if the Knicks would commit a delay of game only once after a made bucket, when someone is behind the play. Indy attacks those hard, and are successful, yet I never saw the Knicks try to do that. They have one of these per game, that they could use.

Worst_to_First · Post #390 » by **Worst_to_First** » Fri May 30, 2025 4:57 am

I also liked seeing JB play off the ball at the start of possessions. I believe this throws Indy more off balance. Let Mikal initiate the offense.

The KnicksFix · Post #391 » by **The KnicksFix** » Fri May 30, 2025 4:59 am

I need Mikal to pressure defense 94ft, inside Hali’s chest every single second
When he goes out, Deuce and Delon doing the same
Period, make him unable to breathe

I feel kind of bad. Mikal looks depressed.

KAT for the series

25.4 PPG 11.8 RPG 1.8 APG
51.8% on 16.6 FGA - 3rd to Hart (52.0%) & Mitch (78.6%)
42.3% on 5.2 3PA - 2nd to Shamet (50.0%)
81.1% on 7.4 FTA
+4.8 on the series - 2nd to Shamet (+7.3)

Best big man since Patrick Ewing

I’d rather have him do it than Hart jump passing

This needed a bump

HarthorneWingo · Post #398 » by **HarthorneWingo** » Fri May 30, 2025 5:21 am

Thibs made a necessary defensive adjustment by picking up Haliburton early and disrupting their offense. Thibs also made the offensive adjustment to screen in the backcourt so we could get into our offense earlier.

Thibs out-coached Carlisle in this game.

If Mikal was just 1% as physical and aggressive defensively as the Met Head he would have been All NBA Defensive Team

his screening on offense is also very impactful.

In the GT I called Mitch a terrorizer

He had Indy shook

Turner imploded

It was awesome
