Might make sense to bring Robinson into the game at the 6 min mark of the 1st then let iHart run with the bench unit of Precious and McBride so iHart can be the playmaker in more sets. And he is a better offensive fit with Precious. Hoping to see that change!

I like the idea. Plus Mitch Brunson had something cooking in the PnR (Mitch lob, then Brunson given enough space after to prevent the lob so he got a 1 vs 1).

most underrated moment of game 1



stopped a 9-0 pacers run in the final 2 minutes of the 1st half cutting the lead to 6

i still have my doubts and i'll never make the proclamation that this team will cruise through any series nevermind get a sweep ... however this entire season has been full of moments just like this where it feels like the hands of fate are guiding me somewhere i've never been before but i'm too jaded to embrace it

Let that guard down n go with it girl!

letting go of my pain then pacers win 4 in a row

Im going to try to not complain about the minutes anymore.

It may catch up to us at some point, but Thibs always treats each game like game 7 of the finals for better or worse, and it’s even more apparent in the playoffs. He’s not going to change now.

Getting to the next round would be a major achievement itself. Anything after is playing with house money, although I’ll never doubt this team going all the damn way.

I wonder how dangerous we could be if Thibs let IHart shoot the occasional three-point shot?

Hali has 6 and they still should have won. Knicks better get used to the idea of creating leads that they don't give up. Substantial ones.

[Bob Ross]

Overdue for a blowout win. Let it be game 2. Pacers are young so we can beat them down mentally

I don't think there is any real benefit. Opposing teams already treat him like a stretch 5 because they don't want to let him direct the offense out of the high pinch post. The opposing big almost always steps out to him.

I don't think him shooting 2 attempts a game at 33% is going to change that dynamic.

you just painted a happy little tree in my mind.

Don't get used to the optimism. I'm miserable in these threads in the playoffs

Im going to try to not complain about the rotation/minutes anymore.

I just worry the longer this series goes the more it benefits the Pacers. (If Thibs keeps the rotations as is.)
I’m not sure though, you’d think all the running is taxing, but so was the physical play vs Phili. I’ll go with the former being more taxing.
For sure we miss Bogs this series.

We may see some wild reffing. Even though it seems like we also got bad calls.

Having IHart facilitate when Brunson is getting a quick rest is a good idea.

I think he could at least knock down 1 outta 3 a night. Dude hit 14-30 the season before he signed here. He's got the touch.

I'd at least let him take a middy or two. But Thibs has his philosophy

Is it the same crew for the entire series?

There's going to have to be some serious moves made this summer to improve depth. This current path isn't sustainable but next year Leon has gotta get at least 2 more role guys that Thibs will play just in case.
