Knicks starting 5 plus Robinson and McBride. Pacers starting 5 plus Mathurin and McConnell

Word so we forgetting about Toppin and Shepaard as if they are scrubs and not impactful bench players?

There's a reason Obi Toppin got traded and Sheppard just another body for Brunson to abuse. If they're playing meaningful basketball in the clutch then it's curtains

Sometimes players are on teams that are not great fits from coaching to other players. Toppin has found a home in Indiana and also played well last year second round against the Knicks last year. Also had a 20pt game in 20 mins against Cavs off the bench this year.

I smell a bias Knicks fan. All good enjoy the series. Just don't blame Thibs coaching on any of the Knicks Ls.

Boston had a deep squad too and they're sitting at home. In the playoffs it comes down to your top end talent and I trust the Knicks top end talent way more. Talking bout some Ben Sheppard will be the key in the series

I’ve been trying to see the threat of Indiana beating us over the last three days and it’s crickets. Can’t find any scenario where we lose this series.

Biggest threat I see is the Knicks not being locked in on defense, cause if you play lazy defense against the Pacers they'll torch you.

Brunson is the weak spot in the Knicks D (pause) but Hali, Neismith, and Nemhard don't have an offensive game designed to exploit that matchup.

Siakham is always a wild card but if the Knicks play any kind of consistent defense, especially containing the Indy P&R, this will be light work.
