2024 NBA Season and Playoffs

[Neurotic Guy]

Go Knicks , beat pacers tonight .

Both teams ….fight like TIGERS !

Same with Minny-Denver - play really, really hard.

Wish I could stay up for that one.

[Who]

NY went small. No Achiuwa.

G: Brunson
G: McBride
F: DiVincenzo
F: J Hart
C: Hartenstein

Two 6-1 PGs. Two 6-4 SGs. One big man.

Siakam has a massive advantage. Josh Hart looks tiny trying to defend him inside. Siakam has to step up and dominate this matchup.

[Who]

NY look feisty. Indy look like they are struggling a bit with the intensity of the game. Not at the same level as NY. The same pace. They are trying to ease the intensity and work their way into things.

Really? Indy looks like the more poised team to me right now. High energy on both ends with NYK looking a bit ragged.

I don't think they look poised. Things are working but they don't look good doing it.

Agree that NY has started to look raggedy last few mins.

[Who]

Oooh. Nice finish by McBride.

[Who]

Indy are small-ish now too.

G: McConnell = small 6-1 PG
G: Haliburton = thin combo guard
F: Sheppard = lightweight SG

They have good size with Toppin and M Turner. But that small perimter trio is playing into NY's hands here. Bailing our their small dudes.

[Who]

I like this Toppin (PF) and Siakam (C) combo for Indy when NY plays Achuiwa as their sole big. Gives them a big advantage in terms of offensive skill-level.

[Who]

No idea what happened there. Nesmith dropped with nobody touching him. Achiuwa had lost his shoe. Then Josh Hart got slammed in a hard foul. Bodies dropping all over the place.

Nah, not a flagrant. Just a bad fall. Not a bad foul. Unlucky.

[CelticSooner]

I can't believe the Knicks are still playing at Indy's pace and it's actually working.

[Who]

That should count.

[Who]

Geez. No wonder Nesmith reacted so badly. All that contact was initiated by Brunson. He just rammed into him, fell over and got the foul on Nesmith. 3rd foul. To the bench he goes.

Edit: Oh great. Coach's challenge. Overturned. Foul on Brunson.

[Who]

Haliburton has only 3pts 1ast.

Brunson 14pts 3ast. Dominating Hali.

[Who]

Hartenstein dominating the glass. He has 7 rebounds all by himself. Indy has only 6 as an entire team.

NY leading 18-6 rebounding differential.

Hart has 5 boards. Hartenstein and Hart 12 of the 18.

[Who]

Indy are choking.

NY rising to the occassion. Brunson has been terrific. Hartenstein has been fantastic. McBride, Hart, DiVincenzo are all contributing. They are out-working & out-hustling Indiana.

Indiana have to rise to the fight. You can't let your opponent out-fight you like this.
