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.
But I doubt Thibs will reduce Josh's minutes

Yes they were missing some shots...but we were also setting the pace. Picking up haliburton nearly full court and disrupting there early action matters. Also less turnovers (still too many) good shots leads to less fast breaks for Indy.
I thought our communication was better...there will always be some issues with how fast they play but overall much better.
They aren't scoring under 100 in Indy...but if we can keep them around 110 we should have a good chance to win.
yea can't compare it at all to game 4. game 4 very early in the game the pacers got like 2 or 3 legit wide open, nobody even rotated type 3s. just complete breakdowns. that basically didn't happen at all this game.
with that said I agree the pacers are likely to shoot better and play better in general at home. knicks have to come out with the same desperate energy they did in game 5 and make the pacers feel the pressure of potentially having to face a game 7 on the road.
It wont be easy but the Knicks did make a concerned effort to always have a body and stay connected to haliburton...make him feel you. Before this he had way to many possessions he could just bring the ball up facing no pressure. He isn't overly strong and he doesn't have elite handles...so make him feel you. They did a great job of that tonight.
But spot on, Mikal was in his chest the entire game. That's the secret sauce!

Not allowed to say refs hate him, didn’t want to get fined

He’s also good shot blocker but with a special all star all nba born to win talent like towns attacking him instead of guys like shart and precious last year he basically renders him useless and dominates him badly and makes him look silly. Thank you kat. Blessed

he blocks a few shots but he doesn't really rebound or play defense

When he's on offense he has the worst whistle in the league.....but on defense he definitely picks up an insane amount of stupid fouls. I think he's tired and just wants out sometimes.
