Oh yeah never got any clarification. That travel call on KAT was bullshyt right? I was on the other side of the arena but I feel like I still had a better view of his legs than Scott Foster. That seemed like a TERRIBLE call

He straight reacted to Myles Turner yelling at him. He couldn’t see shyt from his angle.

One thing I don't like about Tyler is he has a tendency to dribble too much when he's going to the paint and doesn't make an assertive move to finish

He plays like Steve urkle

Now that I have calmed down I can assess.

First off when I seen the game was low scoring even tho we were blowing them out I didn't like that.

2nd the basically let Towns do them what Nesmith did to the Knicks in game 1. Y'ALL HAVE SEEN THIS ON YOUR SIDE BEFORE HOW DO YOU NOT KNOW HOW TO PREVENT THIS?? As soon as Towns was on an island in the 4th with Turner, they should have trapped him him in the corner. He got a three point play out of it and I think that is what sealed the game. Towns was feeling himself after that.

3rd, Nesmith getting injured is what started this. He came back but the momentum had already left. One of the most infuriating games I've had to endure. I haven't been this mad since the Colts lost to the Saints in the superbowl.

KAT isn’t Brunson. More times than not, he’s going to make the right play. You can trap him but he’ll just find the open guy. Which is why we should be playing through him.

W really gotta play through KAT

JB is a ball stopper he needs to improve that part of his game

Indy was basically praying on iso ball Brunson

I rather he do that than cook Turner the way he did.

I feel like thibs needs to steal Mike malone playbook,
Kat and Brunson should be diet jokic Murray
Switch between kat hart and JB initiating offense
Bring in deuce more

 

[UpAndComing]

Pacers lost because they stopped playing their normal style of passing the ball with off ball movement. They started to play 1 on 1 basketball
Knicks are an elite 1 on 1 defensive team, so it played right into their hands

Knicks have terrible off ball defenders in KAT, Brunson, Hart, etc... Pacers need to take advantage of that, and they will win

 

[ISO]

EVERY Knicks player got a positive +/- except........ Brunson wit -6 how the fukk that even possible you play 31 minutes and ya the ONLY player in the entire 9 man rotation in negatives

It COMPLETELY matches the eye test. His ball stoppin, shot clock eatin, worst defense on the team playin been Knicks biggest struggle. Knicks not winnin challenge for Brunson 5th foul was a blessin in disguise. Got control of game wit him out. If Knicks benched him in 4th of game 1 they probably up 2-1 this series.

U gotta be trolling

This was his worst game of the season arguably

And he STILL hit maybe the toughest shot of the night in the clutch

fukking retarded confirmation bias bullshyt

 

[ISO]

You paying OG like 200 mill & you gave 5 picks for Bridges they better Damm be more involved in the offense. Maybe this game will smarten Brunson up & stop trying to live up to being Mr clutch and actually let other guys get the ball

U watched the game?

Nothing changed KAT just went on like a personal 15-0 run to start the 4th.

His shot selection wasn’t even good he just happened to can shyt he was missing earlier and started driving the ball.

Between this and just not playing Obi much if at all in the second half, thats what I came away with. When Nesmith got denied a drive by OG, then turned around and tried again to get his shyt sent to the 2nd row, I was just wondering why we trying to be heroes.

T.J doing that bullshyt under the basket heave that misses more often than not wasnt good either.

Game needed a Hali takeover but he was only interested it seems in stopping the bleeding with timely shots. The woes of not having a consistent #1 guy really showed out last night

 

[Nero Christ]

Pacers played like guys who had something to lose and it got to them mentally. When you're not expected to win, you're looser and play freely.

 

[ISO]

He's one of the worst coaches in history.

What a stupid fukking comment.

For the love of god get off that man’s dikk.

KAT is either shooting a 30 footer or driving to the cup. If he gets it in the high post he’ll throw a wrap around to a cutter. He sometimes whips the ball around the floor recklessly. He was horrendous all game until he started making those same ill-advised shots which opened up his driving game.

For you to say this shyt when Brunson has been our rock all season. Clutch player of the year with an elite assist to turnover ratio is ridiculous.

Y’all constantly have recency and confirmation biases and constantly read too deep into every little thing

Nah man Knicks fans are the embodiment of teetering between "it's so over" and "we're so fukkin back" at warp speed
It can't be healthy to live that way but it's entertaining as fukk to witness.

Gotta admit, it's hard to know how they truly feel about their squad tho

 

[duncanthetall]

the homophobia with KAT is corny. seems like a solid dude. i dont get the bullying.

He’s legitimately a great person. Bro is just himself. Social media and people in general are corny, broke losers.
