70 points in the first quarter. On pace for 280, ha. Favors Indy I would think.

Nice tomahawk dunk Obi!!! Ha ha. Knicks look like better team tonight so far.

bradjames12 · 05-21-2025, 08:24 PM

I'm amazed at the lack of Nesmith posts...
Can someone do a welfare check on Nomad?

ninjacookies · 05-21-2025, 08:31 PM

Nix ML. Inshallah.

Nomad · 05-21-2025, 08:52 PM

Classic series. There, I called it.

bradjames12 · 05-21-2025, 08:59 PM

Nesmith getting owned on the defensive end..

Donkaylove · 05-21-2025, 09:06 PM

TJ Mconnell is gonna win this game

Nomad · 05-21-2025, 09:08 PM

To be fair, the main thing is the fouls on Bruh...

I mean unless the Knicks karate chop them while Nesmith out.

bradjames12 · 05-21-2025, 09:10 PM

This is one of those Pacers games that I absolutely f*cking hate.. Claw back to make it a game and then give up a few to make a guy lose hope...

ninjacookies · 05-21-2025, 09:14 PM

This series all boils down to whether or not KAT can ditch the zesty Rican tag and play the 5 like a 5. Pacers have always been most susceptible down low.

If he does, they advance. If he doesn't, eternal SAS virtue signaling nuclear meltdowns, which I'll always be present for.

bradjames12 · 05-21-2025, 09:15 PM

Nesmith costing the Pacers once again...

I dunno, its a pretty fair beating all around. Don't get injured, regroup for next game.

"Haliburton mic'd up: We need to dominate the non-Brunson minutes!

Narrator: They did not, in fact, dominate the non-Brunson minutes."

The real issue as I see it was at the tail arm of the McConnell flurry, Pacers stopped distributing. It was obvious ISO upon obvious ISO. Plus refs holding whistle and no Sheppard (on defense). Bad substitutions.

Brunson's cooked every defensive combo the 'Cers have thrown at him til this point of his career. M'Lord Kneesmiff included.

I don't think there's much they can do in that respect. They just have to hope they can throttle the role players enough, like Bridges and OG.

This leads to that. Lose the ball movement and rhythm, lose the possession battle.

Hey, Nesmith flurry.

Seven down with 1:20 to go. been there.

Whoever wins, Nesmith legend in progress.

If you scroll back to the Knicks/Pistons series there was a lot of playoff basketball fandom. It feels like the NBA has reverted to pampering certain guys.

If you watch another angle, McDaniels accidentally kicked Shai’s foot when he was losing his balance. It may not seem like much or on purpose but it’s still a foul.

Most of the comments and discourse around the Shai fouls are so disingenuous or flat out wrong it’s generally not worth commenting back, but I’ll give my take before I go back into hybernation.

So, Shai does look for fouls. It’s not a secret or anything, but it’s also generally in the flow of the game on basketball plays so I don’t have a huge problem with it. He’s almost always working his way to the basket, so if he beats his man enough to put them at a disadvantage, why not also draw contact while they’re not in legal guarding position and get an and-1? All the comments about him being as bad or worse than Harden are completely off base, especially when it’s the same people who were rooting for Denver in the last round while Jokic was jumping on top of guys 30 feet from the basket looking for fouls that had nothing to do with the flow of the game.

I saw a stat from KOC that Shai drew 13 fouls on 28 drives, and Ant drew 7 fouls on 7 drives. But somehow due to the final volume numbers, Shai is a foul merchant while all these guys who avoid contact and chuck 3s are not? It’s ridiculous. It’s honestly sad that due to social media algorithms and cherry picked 5 second clips, so many people will have their opinions formed and feel compelled to spread negativity and misinformation. At the end of the day though everyone will get their comments in and a year from now they won’t remember and be on to the next thing
