I don’t understand why Carlisle isn’t cross matching Siakem on to Lopez. After watching Turner completely unable to recover back to him the other night I was sure that was an adjustment they were gonna make.

Picking up full court in the 1st quarter is diabolical. 

[TheWatShot 14,176]

If you want a spoiler, ESPN's play by play is about 30 seconds ahead of what we're seeing on TV. 

[TheWatShot 14,176]

This second quarter has been trash. 

[HinnyHoosier 5,018]

If you go into halftime and can't figure out how to limit one of the two players keeping this team on life support, you should come back to no job next season....

[Hovadipo 56,550]

Is Rick just calling it a night? Why the hell are any of these lineups on the floor?

[TheWatShot 14,176]

I quit watching at halftime. Has Spero Dedes stroked out yet from gushing over how incredible it is that the Bucks are still a functioning basketball team, much less winning by 19? 

[Hovadipo 56,550]

Glad we’re still doing TJ’s 3rd quarter make-a-wish minutes. Couldn’t have let a 5 point deficit go to 20 without him getting his shots up. 

[HinnyHoosier 5,018]

This is inexcusable. How do you not show up for this game with your opponent decimated by injuries? If they go on to lose the series after this it is justly deserved. 

[Hovadipo 56,550]

Imagine talking bad about TJ McConnell.

Its been a freaking decade since we made the second round. It feels so good!

Loved the ball movement! Great game!

Bring on Hicks vs. Knicks, 2020's edition. 

[TheWatShot 14,176]

The Knicks were up 33-11 in the first quarter and now they're down by 7 in the second half.

Tie entering the 4th

If you want to know anything about my Knicks just let me know.

Can the Pacers beat them? That’s really all I want to know.

Haliburton will have to really step up finally. Quit taking so many stupid 3s. And gotta play defense. No Julius Randle, so best thing might be just staying home and trying to make Brunson win it by himself.

Yeah. Hali just hasn’t been the same since his injury, or at least that’s what it’s seemed like to me. He started the season on fire, and hasn’t had many similar games lately. Really wish Mathurin was healthy.

Haliburton just needs to shoot more in rhythm. Everything he does is off the dribble and step backs. It's hardly ever just catch and shoot but he never seems ready to shoot in a normal catch and shoot situation. He wants to drive and dish but that isn't always best.
