the pacers - i think they might be the only team who hasn't been blown out? I'll check when im supposed to be working today but i think they might be it between the coach and hali and the cast

 

[BooksOrangePlanet]

geez they've only dropped 2 games so far - but might lose game 3 lol

Not sure I’m seeing a pattern there.

They won game 1 in LA, “figuring them out” but still lost Game 2.

They lost Game 1 to the Warriors before Curry where Curry played but got hurt. Anything after that was completely without Curry.

Remains to be seen what happens in Game 4 here.

But they do make good adjustments. Just not sure if they’re terminator like once they get a W in a series like you imply.

I’m just happy it looks like we might have a series here. Was afraid Minny was dunzo after those first two games in OKC.

knicks with 7 assists in the first half - pacers 13

KAT has disappeared this series. A complete non factor.

 

[Russ Smith]

Haliburton is what Lonzo Ball was supposed to be

 

[Hoop Head]

Knicks have had 11 turnovers between the 2nd and 3rd quarters. Watching the series get away from them.

 

[Russ Smith]

Always liked McConnell but he had a rough quarter there. One made shot but turnovers, 2 moving screens were in part because he went early and didn't let the screen get set. Very unusual he's so good with the ball

 

[Hoop Head]

70-80 Indiana leads. New York had a nice run to end the 3rd. They need to fight this out to make it a series. If they lose this one then they're done.

robinson smartest knick on the court - pacers will need him off the court at the end - kat is doing work tho!

 

[BooksOrangePlanet]

lol and the knicks had kat on the bench in the last 4th quarter

 

[BooksOrangePlanet]

need to save your challenges in games of this magnitude - that's not a guaranteed reversal

 

[BooksOrangePlanet]

unsuccessful challenge - that's gonna hurt

 

[BooksOrangePlanet]

pacers can't stop kat

 

[BooksOrangePlanet]

good challenge - can't be decided by the ref - the pacer either touched the ball or he didn't - clear cut

 

[BooksOrangePlanet]

successful challenge - at the end when it matters - leads to haliburton bucket

 

[BooksOrangePlanet]

you have to stay in the game without using your challenges - third quarters don't matter - early 4th quarters don't matter - and don't challenge fouls where the reviewing ref is the one who called the freakin foul - omg

 

[BooksOrangePlanet]

brunson bac with 1:37 left

 

[BooksOrangePlanet]

so much defense- both teams

 

[Mainstreet]

Hart hit the floor really hard after securing rebound.

 

[Mainstreet]

Referees now calling touch fouls with 9.7 seconds left in the game?

 

[BooksOrangePlanet]

must win game for the knicks come up clutch - kat brought'em back brunson finished them off

 

[Hoop Head]

Referees now calling touch fouls with 9.7 seconds left in the game?

Got to make this series go more than 4 games. Their last standing media darling can't leave like that.
