Who Needs a Pace(r) Maker, When You Have Two Harts?: Official Pacers (#6) vs. Knicks (#2) East Semifinals Thread

[Rev]

fukk it, best 2 out of 3 with home court. Let’s get it.

 

[Lurk Angle]

They have no bench cause they're down 4 players
If the team was actually healthy it's a deep team
Can't tell me anything about minutes cause Mitch and Bogey weren't even playing heavy minutes like that

I understand that I was mainly talking bout the future with my previous post

I feel like as much as this team has fought this year they on their last legs

I hope next season they can still get another piece because even with randle and og healthy need another reliable bench piece with McBride and hart coming of the bench or get another starting wing too move ddv to six man

Shut the fukk up you dum bytch
I'm putting you on ignore so never bother quoting me again

Comparing Embiid being banged up and playing over 40 minutes a night to 4 key rotation players flat out not being present for the Knicks is pure stupidity but I don't expect anything less from an empty headed dumb fukk like you

Blame your coach for running his players into the ground

I feel like the pacers are just better overall

Philly was better than us. The Pacers are not.

Didn't watch the game outside of the first 2-3 possessions

What was the excuse for this game? Refs? Ran out of gas? Indy just played better? The?

Thibs doin the same thing with hart that he did with jimmy butler . Butler played 48 minutes in 5 playoff games in the ‘13 playoffs

This fool still hasn’t learned

the blowout was prob good to rest some players, but yeah I don't see why a alec burks or shake milton can't get 15-20 mpg and give guys some rest

My guess is that the Knicks' lack of depth, injuries and overall usage, etc. picked a bad time to show itself given the Pacers' uptempo style of play (New York has the slowest pace of play this year. Indy's no worse than top 3). On paper it wasn't a good matchup for the Knicks because of that, but it wasn't so bad to where Brunson's play and the team's supporting effort couldn't overcome it.

So Indy had a good game while the Knicks showed signs of running out of gas.

pacers hit their shots, hali was more aggressive about scoring and the team showed more energy on defense/rebounding

brunson legs started showing them thibs minutes. damn near all of his longer jumpers were hitting front iron. didn't help that pacers are wearing him down more by picking him up full-3/4 court

that white demon didn't go supernova again

you look at the stats of this and its just nasty lmao

knicks 31 free throws to pacers 8

pacers starters 0 free throws attempted

myles turner 5/5, 3/3 3pt. mf was in there hittin stepbacks clean

Indy was making every shot to start while the Knicks came out lethargic on both ends. Thibs waiting until they were down 20 in the first to call a timeout, game was pretty much done at that point

Burks has to be part of the rotation at this point. He's given them good minutes in this series.

OG isn't even running yet. I doubt he plays again this series - maybe home for game 7 he suits up and gives it a go but I wouldn't count on that.

The Pacers WERE not
I don't think the Knicks have the advantage anymore after Mitch and OG went down
