Bobby Portis has a word for that :lol:

What are fans supposed to do during a blowout? They probably turned off the game. I know I did, I was pissed. Why would I stay active in the thread if I'm not even watching :lol:

I'd say Pacers fans are pretty quiet right now too, but you guys have like 10 fans on the boards to begin with so its hard to tell. :lol:

The fact that Carlisle let Brunson pop off for 28 point half without throwing a hard double at him is embarrassing.

Brunson has mastered the game. No matter what you do he has an answer

How can any Basketball fan not appreciate Brunson's greatness and willingness to push his very injured and banged up team across the line in a must win playoff game ?

I hate the Knicks but I respect greatness. Brunson has been incredible.

IND is flat out beating themselves with their lack of rebounding and turnovers.

The problems are easy to identify. But can they execute basic intangibles?


This. Basketball is about possessions. The Knicks have taken 53 shots. The Pacers have only taken 38. That's what happens when you turn the ball over a lot (9 already) and give up offensive rebounds (12 so far). Heck, the Knicks have more offensive rebounds than we have total rebounds (12 to 11).


Knicks were the leaders on 2nd chance points in the playoffs last time I checked. It’s why they’ve won games despite playing so depleted

There's a dedicated board where most Pacers fans go. Pacers announcers, players and front office have posted there. Have even had front office vs board members in a basketball game on the Pacers practice floor. So yeah, they don't come here.

Brunson deserves all sorts of compliments. Such a leader. So many players who are considered leaders sometimes disappear or not show up when it matters.
