2024 NBA Season and Playoffs

[Who]

Man, Toppin has been impressive this series.

Knicks too small to deal with him. Anunoby is their only non-center with size. Everyone else is a guard. Anunoby is for Siakam. Toppin feasting on small guards. Using his size and athleticism to get easy finishes.

Sore left hamstring for OG and out for the game. Yikes. The hamstring is just like the calf and something you can't mess around with. He may very well be done for the series.

M Turner only 4pts in 23min.
Nesmith only 3pts in 25min.

Time to go with other people. They are not getting the job done.

And Halliburton a no show in this half

[Who]

NY had Precious Achiuwa and Hartenstein on the floor together for final play of Q3. I wonder if we will see that in Q4. If Thibs feels they need size at PF to matchup defensively with Siakam.

[celticinorlando]

I cannot wait for Boston to put the Knicks and Brunson under

[Who]

PG: McBride (6-1)
PG: Brunson (6-1)
SG: DiVincenzo (6-4)
SG: Josh Hart (6-5)
 C: Achiuwa / Hartenstein

That is basically their team the rest of the way. Maybe Alec Burks, another SG, gets 2-3 mins.

This is a tiny lineup. Especially with Achiuwa.

Am I hearing things, or does Reggie continue to call TJ McConnell by the name "CJ McCollum"?

This is really 5 on 8 for the Pacers

[Who]

Am I hearing things, or does Reggie continue to call TJ McConnell by the name "CJ McCollum"?

I heard the same thing early in the game!

I had to double check and see "what is CJ McCollum doing at the game?" Oh, TJ McConnell.

[celticinorlando]

Gotta make sure the Knicks win

Silver ordered the code red

[Who]

Sheppard & Nesmith, together?

Not much ball-handling, passing or shot-creation there.

[jpotter33]

Ha! Love McConnell stepping up and showing some emotion.

[celticinorlando]

Nesmith gives the pacers almost nothing out there.

[Phantom255x]

Hey Pacers, HIT YOUR FREE THROWS

[Who]

Give McConnell a quick breather and bring him back.

Not playing him down the stretch cost you the win in Gm 1. Do not repeat the mistake. He has been your best player over the first two games.

First two games = 45min 28pts 15ast 5reb 3stl
