Ben is also a two way player. Losing him is huge

Ehhhhh, his defense has improved, but he's not a better defender than Sheppard, who is taking his minutes.

Oh come on, Ben is a star compared to Sheppard.
In fact, he may already be an all-star given the minutes. Or maybe that's just the Canadian in me.

I think its the Canadian in you. :lol:

I would not call Mathurin a good defender. He's shown flashes, but for the most part, he gets lost. He isn't a two way player, not yet anyway.

Putting aside the debacle of reffing at the end of the game, and with full admission that the refs likely cost Indiana the game.

Has anyone noticed that Tyrese Haliburton has absolutely no "bag"?

Like, what does a 50 point game from him look like? Is it just a bunch of transition threes? He doesn't really seem to have any go-to moves, or any scoring action he's really good at aside from stutter stepping into a three pointer.

Wasn't this the 2 points they gave to Indiana during the half?

Prior to his injury he was great and breaking down the defense and hitting floaters and such.

I can believe that.

I don't remember it, but I believe it.

Now going forward, the Knicks will be just fine once they:
- stop over-switching from Turner. He had way too many easy buckets.
- contain McConnell, no need to let him go off like that.

I don't don't know, I'm asking. Everybody is crying about it, and no one acknowledges that Pacers got 2 points after the half, which I do no know why (they weren' t talking about it during the game either). Logically it should have been because of this, but can't see the official reason.

It’s ‘technically’ a moving screen but those never ever get called

So a good call then.

Is it that or it was 52-46 when Pacers hit the three but scoreboard went 53-46, after that Hartenstein hit the half court?
They corrected to 55-49 after that if I remember correctly

Horrible call. NBA officials giving career journeymen these flops will continue the league's demise. Used to be a few superstars got this treatment, now with mids like Donte D and Brunson getting these calls it's become unwatchable.
