Could these refs be any more blatant with the last handful of calls against the Pacers... Feels like I'm watching a Raps game.

Re: Official NBA General Discussion 2025-26 V1.0
lol Siakam and Anunoby are carrying their teams what the hell man
2019 Eastern Conference All Stars
Derozan
Lowry
Ibaka
Valanciunas
Van Vleet
Delon Wright
Lebron
Embiid
There are only 2 teams in the league that rank in the top 6 in offensive and defensive efficiency: the Golden State Warriors and the Toronto Raptors.

Siakam runs the court on every Knicks shot and has gotten lots of bunnies

They don't even guard him his man doubles Towns every time . I wish he'd play Delon instead he's a better defender too
Whereas Brunson is struggling but he'll bounce back next half
There goes my hero. Watch him as he goes.

What's been a theme of this series for the Knicks is OG keeping them afloat in these in-between quarters when one or both of Towns/Brunson have been ass.
It's just such a delicate minutes/lineup balance to coax any kind of sustained effectiveness out of those 2.

Scrappy game but very entertaining.
Pulling for the Knicks because I don't think the finals will produce close games like this.
Og and siakam both killing it. I think it's gonna come down to which one of haliburton or Brunson have the better second half.

The best sustained pressure we've seen of Siakam exploiting KAT. Using his off-ball speed to consistently put him in bad positions.

For sure, this series needs a game 7.

It was an awful at both ends half for both KAT and Brunson (although he showed pretty well on PNR to negate some targetting). Bailed out by Mitch/OG and solid all-bench minutes.
Haliburton also again not exploiting the matchups enough.

Siakam is so good, glad he is getting to shine in this series.

Turner being out early is going to ease the pressure on the Knicks D, though. Pacers are on fire from 3, will need to see if that continues.

Pacers have random scrubs hitting 3s crazy. Also nesmith won them game 1 but has been cold ever since. They’re gonna need him in the finals.
