Feels like the Knicks are the aggressors. The proactive team. And the Pacers are the reactive team. Responding to NY.

NY driving the physicality, intensity, urgency of the game.

Pacers getting anything they want on the Knicks defense.

Pacers off to a good start despite the NY home crowd energy.

Funny, Gordon Hayward airing out his frustrations with OKC after their game last night, stating he wasn't getting enough minutes.

Poor Gordy. He definitely would've been something special in 2017 if he was healthy/didn't break his leg.

I don’t know if is just me, but OG doesn’t look anywhere near 100%.  Pacers need to attack him when they have the ball he is moving really poorly out there.

Pretty safe to say if the Knicks try to trot out this version of OG vs Boston it will be like playing a man down. That dude can’t move.

At the same time, he's been terrible whenever he did get minutes. He was fortunate to be on a contender and will be lucky to get anything more than the vet min this summer.

Most of the Knicks points come off second chances, tip outs, 50/50 balls.

Yep, that's what's keeping them in it. Their defense is getting shredded so far.

What defense? I've yet to see any played by either side so far. IND only up by 3 after an incredibly hot start.

I don’t see this Knicks team in the state they are in being able to stay with Boston. Not enough size, health. If the Celtics play hard and rebound they win in 6 max

Pacers need to keep pushing the pace at any chance.  NY feels like they are so dunged up and worn out already.

Knicks fans climbing the chart as the most delusional and annoying in the nba

I live in NYC. You wouldn’t believe how delusional they are.

Celtics can sweep by +20.0PPG…. And it’ll only be because Robinson, Bogdonovic, and Randle are missing.
