Thank you for not closing the quarter like morons.
And just got to say, I gladly trade a longer halftime if it meant shorter breaks during the halves. It way more enjoyable when the game is just being played rather than endless commercial breaks and super long timeouts.

Many unnecessary turnovers but I'll take the double-digit lead.

Walker is +1 in 3 minutes. Toppin is -18 in 12 minutes. LMAO. He's been a COMPLETE DISASTER tonight.

I second the dune take. Dune sucked. But not as much as that new Mission impossible movie. I slept halfway through that flick. The only good thing i have to say about that movie is the Imax seat i was sleeping with Popcorn all over me.

Walker pretty much always delivers when given a chance. We just have a deep team full of guys who usually perform well.

Bryant is a shooter. His main thing for us is that he can stretch the floor and we can run the same actions we run with him that we do with Myles. Bradley, on the other hand, isn't a shooter so we play differently when he's not on the curt as he usually occupies the dunker spot (while Bryant is in the corners).
His finger must still be bad to not be using him right now and instead suffer Toppin this game. Oh look Carlisle trying Walker!!!
Toppin is ahead of him in the rotation regardless. He's a really good fit for us even though he's made a couple of bad plays in this game.
And, yeah, it looked the index finger of his shooting hand which is pretty vital to shooting so I'm guessing that this is the reason.

Not sure why the Knicks are not slowing it down sometimes, they almost allowed the Pacers back in it when the pace was faster late 2nd. But impressed with New York’s aggression— driving rather than settling and crashing the boards too.

So far so good for the Knicks. Pacers have only 7 fast break points. Running back pays off

Haliburton having one of his “I’m not gunna shoot” games is terrible for the Pacers. I don’t understand what happens that he just refuses to be aggressive or how Carlisle and his teammates don’t hype him up somehow.

Well that just goes to show people have different taste in flicks.

I wouldn't be surprised if Toppin is dumped to make salary room to re-sign Turner. Walker is a much better talent, with a higher ceiling. Walker is better at everything, except dunking. Defense is not even close.

That was a pretty bad first half for us. We could be down more than 11.
It's interesting that Jarace Walker played. It's also interesting that Nesmith has only played 8 minutes even though he hasn't been in foul trouble. I wonder if the ankle is bothering him. If it is bothering him then I'd rather he sits this game and returns healthier for game 6.
