I know them. That’s what I’m saying. I’ve been rooting for the Knicks all year. Easy guys to root for, just like all the stuff you’re saying. I always respect Thibs teams because of how hard they play. But here for a couple weeks I find every excuse possible to hate them. Just how it goes. 

I can't stand Hart after what he said about Indiana during the all star break.

Nice little half of roundball there.

This team can’t defend better than that. Hell of a job. 
Side note: now that I’ve seen enough, Brunson may be the all-time flopper, because it’s not even limited to when he has the ball. Off ball. Screens. Rebounds. Doesn’t matter. If someone gets physical with him he throws his head  or flails or throws his body to emphasize it. It’s kind of amazing muscle memory to just react that way every time.

It’s even funnier because of how solid he is. With that frame he should just abuse people, instead he’s taking haymakers from……Ben Sheppard?

What an absolute @$$ whopping

Wow, did Redick just mention that part of this beating is the Pacers playing well and not strictly Knicks injuries?

Somebody’s gonna get called to the Principal’s office after the game.

Anybody who predicted playoff minutes for Kendall Brown can take a bow.

Knicks are tired man. I think they are the only team to play this many games jn this time span. And that includes the Pacers

I agree and if OG doesn’t get back, maybe even if he does, this has gone from a series the Pacers can win to a series they should be favored to win. If they play disciplined defense the Knicks don’t have enough to beat them.

Oh lol that was all sarcasm. Don’t run your dudes into the ground then cry about being tired

 

But yah.  No OG is a big deal

Ok, what was the long reaction shot of Isaiah Wong about? Does his dad work for ABC? 

[HoosierHoopster]

Knicks can’t win a series like this w/o OG imo. Said it earlier, he’s the difference maker. Brunson can put up shot but it’s OG’s elite 3 and D wing play that rounds that team into a really solid group

[TheWatShot]

Few things are more rewarding in an NBA playoff game than a guy flopping all over the place begging for calls and not getting them while his team gets annihilated.

Here is the Spurs lineup I want to see next season...

PG- Dillingham

SG- Keldon Johnson

SF- Jeremy Sochan

PF- Wemby

C- Edey

Was good with it until Edey, nowhere near a starting NBA 5/forward, and way too slow for that team. Wemby is doing things no one has ever done, generational talent, more pieces to move / run around him, not a plodding big that gets by on his size

I want to see a Wemby-Edey pick and roll. And Edey is quick enough to guard other 5s in the NBA. Plus you have Wemby still behind him.

I’m just not an Edey fan at all for the NBA. We’ll see what he does once he’s drafted, but he’s way too plodding imo, no real versatility to his game, will get pulled outside and embarrassed. That he’s going to get drafted at all is a lot better than last season, I just don’t see it. Especially with Wemby, the guy flies down the floor, no one can defend him straight up. He had one game where he was coming down the floor 1 v 3 to the rim and all 3 of those dudes had no idea what to do. 
If Edey finds minutes imo it will be a team that needs a big to throw at or defend the rim, doesn’t fit in San Antonio imo

Why Dillingham over Topić? Curious your thoughts as I have heard both sides on this (and also arguments for Sheppard, which I happen to think will not happen in SA). Also are you saying Spurs take Edey at 8?

[IU - Kaulie]

I have a hard time seeing Edey as anything more than a backup big.  He will be able to get buckets but these NBA point guards will make him look silly trying to cover on the other end.

Maybe. He didn’t get made to look silly very much over the past 2 seasons. His hustle was phenomenal. They need to guard him on the other end and that might open up tons of space as he won’t be an easy guard on that end either.
