Burks is the only Knick that was actually playing.

Knicks at full strength would be a bigger challenge for us than the Pacers imo but half the Knicks lineup is already out injured and the other half is down to like one operational limb. Between the heavy minutes they play and just bad injury luck they are going to be decimated if they get to the ECFs.

Aaron Nesmith has held Brunson to 9 of 27 As the primary defender since getting the assignment.. Small sample size or not.I do not think that is a coincidence.

He entered the league as a 3-pt specialist who needed to develop the rest of his game, defense in particular. Today he's a tough, tough defender who'd be a phenomenal player if only his 3-pt shot were consistent.
The kid is a dynamo.

Brunson and NY laid an egg too!
And they say Brunson and Ant would never allow something like this to happen.

I like Aaron a lot. he's a tough defender, gets big rebounds. Hes so much more athletic then reported when we drafted him. Happy he's found a starting spot in Indy.

Indy has nobody that would get a superstar whistle like Brunson does. For that and the likelihood of me getting to some ECF games I’d rather facer the Pacers

A lot of grown men crying in MSG if NY loses Game 5.

Anthony Jordan needs to stop bitching for calls in the middle of play like Tatum.

Nuggets have championship mettle. Glad they didn't just lay down after going down 0-2.

Nuggets playing for their lives tonight.
SamIam 2010: Truth's ability to play so incredibly efficiently is so UNDERAPPRECIATED. Bballcool 2012: Amazing how great Pierce has been for so long. Continues to defy age! KG 2013: P is original Celtic. Wherever he goes, we go. This is The Truth's house.

What an epic collapse by the "90s Bulls" Timberwolves at the end of the half there.

That close to the first half was almost comically disastrous for the Wolves
