Pacers gonna thrash the Knicks. Pacers have the coaching mental toughness and personnel to attack the knicks.

This gonna be a bad matchup for KAT. They got 3 players to guard Brunson 94 feet

Naw he bounced. Saw the writing on the wall in terms of toxicity of the org and engineered his exit
I thought he did a great job in game 1. Knicks up 14, time out at 3:46ish left in the game... lot of coaches would've called the dogs off and got ready for game 2. He kept his team in and of course had the massive comeback.

On the other end... I really think Knicks win game 1 if Brunson doesn't come back into the game late.

It can't be emphasized enough just how impactful Nesmith and Nembhard were in this series. They were the real difference makers.
Nesmith's defense was awesome all series and I've never seen anyone get so hot in a quarter in my life than he did down the stretch of game 1. 6 straight threes nothing but net, some of them from WAY deep downtown

6'7 or 5'7. You need a whole rotation of players hitting shots

Knicks literally have no 3 point snipers

You can’t win like that.

Unless your primary ball handler and best shooter is Steph curry

And warriors still had Klay

Knicks need a Klay type. Or at least a Beasley type off the bench like the Pistons

They can keep OG and Brunson. Everyone else should be tradable

G1 really set the tone.....You can't a L like that and it not be devastating to a teams moral...The players besides Brunson maybe clearly aired Thibs out after that point...

....It just goes to show how much of an impressive topdown team effort it was..McConnell and Toppin where crucial in big moments as well...Carlisle has these guys air tight on a mission....I don't see them beating OKC but it will be a fight for sure...

I'm depressed man, we were so close but the Knicks just blew this one. Between the poor shooting and the turnovers smh

Ya'll really weren't that close. Could've easily been a sweep. Pacers clearly a superior team who know who they are, have a real identity and team cohesion, with a HOF coach. Knicks fans still arguing about whether your two stars can play with eachother.
