Eh...if we had a second best offensive player and he was getting a huge max for his offense, I would be questioning why he was so dependent on someone else to set him up. Also, why he's also not able to make plays for others instead of blaming someone else. He's getting the big bucks to be dominant on the same level of Embiid and Jokic.

OG Anunoby gets to use that excuse. Mitch does. Josh Hart, yea.

Not sure why we keep allowing Kat to iso all the way out from the perimeter, only to do that stupid contested drive time after time.

It's quite clear regardless of the coach the Pacers have our number. They simply are confident they can beat us every time out on the court.

They are better coached, more disciplined and more confident than our team in a 1 v 1 matchup.

The Garden does not intimidate this team AT ALL. They've proven that.

They will be a nightmare for us again next season and beyond.

100% this.

Jalen plays like he played since hes here. All of a sudden its a problem.... Our "2nd best player" hides and doesnt want the ball. Ridiculously bad assessment to call brunson a ball hog.

OG has constantly picked up KAT slacking on offense and we dient have that today. The problem was getting 130 from the pacers and nothing else.

Ehh, I think Brunson played more under control, less hero ball, less freezing guys out, etc when Randle was here. Because 1. Randle isn’t a punk and he’ll get the ball himself and 2. Randle can actually create a shot for himself and others

We had a nice system where they both worked with the ball and gave each other time off ball

There isn’t much towns can do. He can’t dribble, we don’t put him in the post (doesn’t have much of a post game anyway), we don’t run any meaningful PnR action with towns. This is our 2nd greatest “offensive weapon”. I’m telling yall someone like sabonis as bad as he is on defense would make this team better.

So our only options are to either let OG take the ball from Brunson (disaster 60% of the time), let mikal (soft), or let someone like hart do it which is usually what happens. And when hart has the ball it usually means it’ll just go back to Brunson any second now

One of those road wins was against the Thunder... so all that proves is that they can win if they really want to.

Clearly they wanted to win against the Knicks. There's a rivalry.

Must win tomorrow night.

at some point, you stop moving and start watching when one player just takes about every shot.

Brown not challenging that 5th foul on Towns, where Huff clearly hooked him was absolut crazy. And i did cost us the game.

Clarkson over Kolek is dumb.

Especially vs the Pacers. Kolek sliced them up last game and had 16 PTS 11 assists on 70% FG

Leon didn't give Towns that contract.

Leon knew if Towns wasn't making so much he would have never been available for a trade in the first place.....so he took advantage of the situation.


And without him we certainly wouldn't have been in the ECF last year....and we'd still be looking at the other guy smoking pot, fighting coaches and teammates, with no starting center half the time.

Rose brought in Towns because he valued his skill set at C. Although his efficiency from 3 is down this season, he has been doing exactly what he was brought here to do.... He was never going to magically become Kevin Durant just because fans think his contract warrants it.

Leon Rose knew exactly who he was trading for. A 20+ PPG 10+ RPG center who can also pass and provide spacing for Brunson and our other guys.

And he is being used exactly the way the coach wants to use him in this offense.
