I'm still not convinced tbh, he tends to disappear down the stretch in big moments, though I wonder how much of that is due to Thibs asinine scheme of Brunson iso

Robinson is a turtle next to Turner.

Is there any point to watching a Pacers game before the last 2 minutes?

Andre Drummond but he hasn’t been in the playoffs for a minute.


Seems like Robinson is so much more mobile and dynamic, but I’m forgetting how Drummond was in his prime.

Steven Adams is the best offensive rebounder of this generation

We disagree on who the better teams but I agree with the first point. For what is worth, Pacers fans aren't the ones talking about an OKC-Indiana finals.

I don't like Mathurin's energy at all in this series so far ... I'd consider giving his minutes to Shepperd honestly - better defender, arguably better shooter, seems higher energy

you gotta see how Knicks respond to adversity. Someone is going to make a big run. I think it's the Knicks.
