Carlisle is saving Nesmith on Brunson until the 4th quarter, savvy move 8-)

Knicks started good on defense. Then they forgot to play. Good timeout by Thibs.

That is my issue with Mathurin, he just makes bad choices on his drives so much. When, where and how.

This second wave defense (and rebounding) is a bit of a mess so far for the Pacers

Gunna have to watch this on delay with my little stinker...driving my mom up to wisconsin to look at a new puppy after our dog died last weekend...but ready for a fun game, whether this is the end or just the next step in our adventure.


Man, that sucks so much. My condolences about your dog, mate. I cannot imagine watching these games without my kitten laying on my desk next to the computer screen.


Me too , I have Persian and Calico

Both huge Brooklyn/Pacers fans and Knicks haters at the same time :D
