Nice little 5-0 push there to cut the lead from 20 to 15. That is what I was hoping for in the middle of Q2 but Indy kept up their hot shooting and NY couldn't cut into the lead despite Burks' heroics.

Knicks still in this. Get into the half. Calm down. Hope Indy's hot shooting runs out. They can make this a game in the second half.

Either the pacers choke this game away or they will knock the Knicks out for good.

I need some serious wear and tear on the Knicks even more

I’m not hoping anything good happens for the Knicks. Want them sent home

Just scouting the potential matchups, Boston will definitely play better defense than what we've seen here (except the inevitable Game 2 I'm sure lol...) and I also think we just have shooters all over the floor which will make it difficult for IND/NY to defend. But ultimately, neither team has an "answer" for Tatum, unless Siakam is that guy but I think he will more so be on Jaylen though Jaylen typically owns him too

NY is running on fumes. I won't rule out a comeback for them but it seems most of their guys are gassed, and their main guys are gonna play 20+ more minutes for sure in the 2nd half to keep their season alive.

League isn’t about to let the Knicks lose a game 7 at home. They want Boston New York.

When you say something like this, are you serious or joking?

People ask why the Pacers are still shooting lights out. The Knicks defense has not been good. Even late in the half they got bailed out a bit by some Indiana travels and turnovers (like Hali running into traffic and then just tossing it back to a Knicks player - "Jaylenesque"). Otherwise the Pacers are getting open looks and just cooking them in transition. That's gotta change for NY, but idk if they can. Most of their guys look gassed and hurt.

You just know the Pacers are going to choke this game away somehow.

Still plenty of time for a officiating disaster ala the game vs Philly and game 1 vs the pacers

I agree with you. Somehow the pacers will make this a close game late

The first half won't mean much for IND if they come out and give up a 6-0 or 8-0 run. They need to keep it up. But once they go up 25+ I think that'll be a wrap, don't see NY's tired legs coming back from that.

They let Hartenstein grab like 3 offensive rebounds that possession.

Brunson is an excellent flopper

Brunson is going to flop all the way to the end
