adjustment wise in gusrding Brunson, i think they thought they had the answer with Nesmith and Brunson cooked...Are they going to just rely on Blitzing and doubling him? If so Divencenzo, Hart and Mcbride should be getting wide open looks...have to capitilize
About the Pacers than the Knicks tonight. I think if it’s close late the Pacers are in trouble. Knicks need to withstand that early barrage the Pacers are likely to come out with following last game’s embarrassment

Agreed. I thought the Knicks were as responsible for their game 4 blowout as Indy, whereas they just F'ing bludgeoned the Pacers last game with a new series-high energy level. We'll see if the Pacers can do the same (I hope not). If they don't I'm pretty damn confident the Knicks won't be out-hustled.
This will be an incredibly difficult game for the Knicks to win. I expect the three points to be raining down in the first half from Haliburton and Turner given last game's embarrassment. If Knicks can go to halftime down 10 or less we'll have a shot, if not....well game 7 at MSG will be fun.
Also, thanks Doubedeuce22 for starting this thread.

Really depends on what the refs are allowing them to do. Will they allow the hand-checking and Pacers guards holding onto Brunson's jersey for dear life? If not, he'll have his way with them. Using Deuce as a screener and/or having max 1 non-shooter + Hart on the floor at all times will lead to the Knicks getting good looks, they just have to hit them.
Hope I'm wrong of course. I just hope this is a competitive game in the 4th quarter. If it is, then the Knicks will smell blood. Most importantly, they need to get healthier and AVOID any further injuries.

Carlisle called out his squad with F-bombs, urging them to up the intensity, so they’ll be chippy - maybe a few T’s tonight.
complains to the ref about contact, lol. Could this whiney Pacers team be anymore unlikeable? I mean, we spotted you 3.5 starters for most of this series so far…stop your bitching.
The next time that guy plays defense will be the first. Starting to understand whyThibs didn’t want him.
I noticed on the replay of Donte's putback slam in Game 5, Toppin was already heading down the court with his hand up for a breakaway slam dunk the other way. How bout crashing the boards, dude?
Just need one of our guys to start hitting their shots
You did what you had to do. Effort goes a long way.

Yes, and for the sake of the Knicks lets hope that other fellow sees the error of his ways...

lol. I saw the memes on the other thread. Holmez needs to delete it already.

BURN HIM
With the way OG heals from injuries, I doubt we see him at all again. Plus, hamstring injuries are tough. Love to be surprised though!
