The playoff probabilities 10,000 simulations thingy currently gives the Knicks a 62.2% chance of advancing over the Pacers. It will change quite a bit after every result.
FWIW, this model had the Timberwolves slightly favored over Denver BEFORE last night. Now the Wolves are 72.5% favorites to advance.

I wasn't aware the Pacers don't have a backup center. Miles is 6'11 and their only true center. Obi backs him up?? No wonder why they are one of the worst rebounding teams in the league. Mitch will be feasting on those rebounds on the second unit.
~I Believe!~

So glad we don't have to deal with Maxey or Embiid anymore

Honestly guys Precious playing 5 minutes is not going to make much of a difference. I like him but he's a role player. I do agree he might be a better match up against Turner but it's not going to make or break our chances.
Anyway, Knicks in 6.
I like Precious and do feel he deserves some minutes and be able to have 6 more fouls and keep our guys fresh / give some players a rest but it's a luxury.
I'd like to see precious out there with
Brunson
Deuce
OG
Precious
Mitch
That is CRAZY defensively

No, I don’t think it’s that deep. I bet many of us wouldn’t care if returned next season. BUT we need extra bodies and he’s someone that can provide hustle and good defense. We just want Thibs to extend the rotation so we don’t exhaust ourselves throughout the series.

Get Turner in foul trouble and they’re probably screwed

In Thibs we trust but I think we do need another body to play a few minutes at least. Prescious would be the guy I would try for a few minutes in this matchup.

I think Precious is going to get a lot of minutes since Turner is Indy's only real center...

If I'm Thibs, Alec gets ONE CHANCE. Take the shot if you're open, or pass the ball to the open man. If he starts ball hogging and thinking he's the reincarnation of Kobe, yank him!!

I don't think u play him in game 1 at all unless we have a nice lead and he plays the right way... trust the pass and like u said if you're open shoot with confidence... don't force anything. We don't need hero ball that's what we have Brunson for...

Yes, we're thin but not like Ind is this deep bench. Look at the minutes their starters played against Mil. They pretty much go 8 deep. I think the media is placing too much on this

Sounds about right to me. I think we make it to the ECF and then fall to Boston in 5-6 games this year.

I've been wanting to see that group too.
I think Thibs has to give Precious minutes. He can't play 7 guys 48 mins. Precious will at least be a positive on defense playing next to OG.
