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

Is that directed at me?

Because that adjustment you are calling coaching mastery is something any middle school coach would do.

Put your best perimeter defender on their best guard.

I'm not sure Ham knew that was an option lol.

This league is all about forcing switches with screens and picks. Knicks need to work those more.

The minutes toll is potentially a factor too. Knicks have 3 of the top 12 guys in MPG in the playoffs, all 3 at 40 or over (Hart, Brunson, OG).

There is a reason why nobody else plays their best guys 40+ a night in the regular season.

I think it is the right move in the playoffs.

Sure, but Hart is playing 44 mpg. I'm amazed he's still going with how much Thibs works him.

Hart, Luka, and Brunson are top 3 in total playoff minutes thus far. If you go by MPG, Maxey was actually at the top, but only for 6 games. 14 players are averaging 40+ per game in the playoffs, but only 4 made it to the second round (Hart, Doncic, Brunson, and Kyrie). Jokic and Shai are a shade under 40.

Must win for the Pacers tonight. They need to show they can win in New York or this is over.

Knicks going small ball tonight. This lineup likely eliminates Sims from the rotation as Precious can be the backup 55

 

[bksballer89]

Are the Knicks ever going to get a T for John Starks and Marbury stepping on the court after every basket?

 

[bksballer89]

These flagrants are so soft. Can’t even try to block a shot and miss

 

[flyerhawk]

Siakim is relieved to not be Embiid

This is about as much home cookin as you will ever see

 

[bksballer89]

thibs refusing to play Burks until both Bogy and OG went down will never make sense to me then people wonder why they guys are falling apart. They could have ran a legit 10 man rotation

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Very good 12 minutes there by the Knicks.
Gotta keep it going for 36 more.

 

[Stlducks]

Foul on the screen, nothing morning. Then T on Burks.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Already a Scott Foster clusterfuckery.

Had nothing to do with him lol

He handled that correctly

Had Burks not come and act like he's some tough guy then it is just double T's and play on

 

[bksballer89]

No way in hell did Nesmith foul him

Holy shit that was bad

Brunson lowers his shoulders and initate the contact

Hahahahaha
Scott Foster, amirite??

 

[bksballer89]

Hahahahaha
Scott Foster, amirite??

Call overturned

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Foster missed his true calling....

 

[bksballer89]

Halliburton must realize sooner rather than later that the team needs him to take over
