I think it's the Pacers fans who should be feeling nervous now, regardless of score. Hali a no-show, low pace etc things look favorable to the Knicks early.

Also Thibs has to start pulling Mitch at the 4min mark, in every game he’s started, he’s tried playing him the whole quarter and the Pacers usually end the quarter on a little run because Mitch is exhausted

Has more points than Hali already.


I've been watching Wright like a hawk everytime he's on the floor because he's a former player and I know what he's like, and also knows Thibs' tendencies. Did you watch the first game or 2 Wright was on the floor? He was clearly told not to take ANY shots. He was making passes to other guys even when he was open at the 3. Only 2nd game he came in these playoffs he was taking 3s only when he was WIDE OPEN (and he's not a good 3 point shooter). What I am noting is that Thibs has finally given Wright a longer leash on offense - to take shots. That's what I'm making note of.

Cannot let Siakam beat you alone. Have to be able to limit him.

Josh Josh Josh. He got fouled but what the hell is he doing. His leash is longest on the team though he’ll stay in

Knicks are going to complete the 3-1 comeback. Beat OKC in a dramatic 7 game series after Timothée Chalamet gives an inspiration half time speech. Timothee proposes to Kylie afterwards

Nah, he played for the Heat last year, on a team that would have gladly let him take shots. His issue isn't coaches telling him no, he's just ultra passive in terms of finding his own shot. Some guys are just like that.
