This is a carbon copy of Celtics/Knicks series. Knicks win easily at MSG in game 5, Pacers come home and win game 6 by 20+.

if we win tonight and force a game 6, the Pacers are not going to go on that crazy high shooting percentage, and The Knicks will play better in Indy, hard not too with how sh1tty we played last game

I'm focused on tonight's game first though

 

[Lil Bape the PostGod]

Brunson hero ball gonna be lit tonight

He going for 47

Pacers win 119-98

Yeah this is gonna be a really tough game for the Knicks. Indiana has been able to dictate pace all series and they've scored over 110 points in almost every playoff game they've played. Knicks haven't been able to guard the Pacers for the entire game, so Indy's gonna get open looks/layups down the stretch.

[Mr. Jack Napier]

objectively speaking...do yall think the Knicks will win tomorrow at MSG ?

They f*cking better.

 

[tjwettem]

if KAT doesnt play, brunson will go for 50+ tonight in an epic defeat

I think it's a lot of things coming together at once. Even ignoring the regular season stuff, the Knicks really haven't played well in the playoffs either. That Detroit series could've gone left very easily if THJ gets a call that 99% of the league gets and the Pistons don't completely collapse down the stretch of G1.

It's gonna be hard to win 4 playoff series when your two best players are such liabilities defensively. I think the roster needs a hard look - but I also don't think this is a team that Thibs can get the most out of.

The Knicks have more than enough to win. The Pacers best player is also a liability on defense that could hurt Indy's overall team defense when attacked.

lol @ the roster needs a hard look

Man what more do the Knicks need? They have multiple high level 2 way wings. They have size, they have 2 GREAT scoring options in Brunson and KAT. They have versatility with the lineups they can run out there. They have size, they have shooting etc. This is their first year with Bridges and Towns, so why not give it some time before doing some irrational shyt with the roster.

You can hide one guy on defense. It's very, very difficult to hide two.

This team was built to beat Boston(which to be fair, they did). They don't really have the tools to beat the Pacers. They're uniquely equipped to attack their soft spots.

Boston had 2 All-Time Great Collapses in that series for the Knicks to get to this point. You think Indiana is beating Boston in a series this year?


A team that can beat Boston in a series is capable of beating anyone in the NBA is my point.

I know people don't watch the Pacers but they did beat Boston in the season series this year. The Pacers are really good and have been for several months. If you didn't know that, that's kinda on you
