Series Thread: 2nd Round: 2) Knicks vs 6) Pacers

[Shanemansj13]

Indy has had some pretty good fortune on the opponent injury front too.

Yep both teams did. Milwaukee didn’t have their two best players. This postseason has been rough

Hope they keep the Nova guys together.

Fun to watch, though they probably need a little more to win anything.

Celtics in 3.

4.5.

Congrats on a great season to the Knicks. Without injuries it seems you would have made the ECF.

I didn't expect much from OG today after they announced he would play, but I thought for sure he'd play for more than only 5 min in the 1st qtr.
Also appeared Ike wasn't close to even 70% healthwise today either.
Then add that to Brunson's broken hand?

Triple gut punch.

Congrats, Pacers fans

I don't think anybody could have beat the Pacers today, they were just on fire.

That said, other teams won't let the Pacers win the 3 games before that.

Trade for Bridges, put Jay Wright on the staff. Knicks winning it all next season

Also Kyle Lowry coming off the bench??

Where's Nick Van Exel?

He'll be their travel agent.

Hope they keep the Nova guys together.

Pretty sure they will.

Yes and yes

Seen some pundits over this series say it wasn't the case, players can get rest in between games, Thibs isn't the only coach to play players heavy minutes during the playoffs, etc. They're missing the point. It's that Thibs plays his players heavy minutes and a demanding style ALL season long. It's the accumulative effect that grinds his players down so when they get to the playoffs, the wheels come off at some point. Yeah, they're still playing hard and a tough out, but every player is considerably banged up and key guys are missing time. Same as Chicago as it is now.

I think they played above what they are.

Hartenstein didn't play well today, but he's been a monster so far this playoffs. DDV has been on fire. They should have won that game where he blacked out.

And it's just my opinion, but I don't think the guys that are hurt would have helped at all. Not counting Anunoby.

But against teams like the Celtics and Nuggets, it's not enough.

Aka the 3 kweers who were in here crying about the refs before the game even started.

 

[DJ Fieri]

It's not really a choke when it's due to injury.


More like a war of attrition....

Those who is tapped in to the sport know who the bad refs are. Marc Davis is on that list for players,coaches, and fans who are tapped into the sport.

Yup. Zion, Kawaii, Jimmy Butler, and Embiid was out there, but didn't even look to be at 50%. Rough playoffs
