I'm not looking past the Pacers. I think this will be another dog fight. I don't take any team for granted in the playoffs.

my strategy as a coach would be you want Alex in - then blow Indy out- that will get you some rest...

it could be but it shouldn't be...i think the perfect illustration is Josh Hart showed us- just as Brunson and Divo that when it mattered
(game 6 in Philly) they could make big shots and not miss big free throws...
If they take every minute of Indy that seriously or give them that level of focus- we sweep them. That team is not tougher than Philly.

Smart poster. It might take Haliburton returning to the all NBA form he had before the injury to do it, but it’s not insanity to think this too can be a tough series.
Before the Siakam addition I’d say Knicks in 5. But he def brings them something they were missing.

OG, Achiuwa and Josh can guard Turner
Hart, Mitch and Sims on Siakam
Donte, McBride and Jalen on Halilburton

Precious, OG and iHart can trade duties on Turner for sure. If 2 of them are on the floor together you can switch one of them on to Siakam.
I believe our match-up options are more diverse in this series, because we have mobile defenders who are no longer worrying about a single guy bulling his way to the rim.

Isaiah should roam only on the two extremes... om the perimeter when he is great at icing the PnR or at the rim as a free lancer... him around the top of the key, pinch post and elbow is a disaster against the Pacers... we become vulnerable to the back door passes and also to the three point shooting...
Thibs has to push all the right buttons on defense... cuz we dont have the luxury to sit anybody...
I would prefer starting Mitch on this one and play Precious then Obi is on the floor... if we had both Randle and Bojan and Burks wasnt this washed we could have easily iHart sit on the bench to heal some of his Achilles for the eventual finals where he would perfectly match up with either team! He struggles only with scoring bigs what have also big body frames

This. We could, at times, possibly use Precious on Siakam and OG on Hali…
We may see DDV guard Hali to start coming off his great job on Maxey in game 6….

They blitzed Dame a ton in the pnr
I am sure Brunson has seen every play atleast 3 times they’ve done it
Expect Josh hart to be taking threes again
And
Ihart to be shooting floaters

OG seemed to have more of an impact defensively after he was taken off of Maxey.

Easy to blitz a slow and hobbled guard.
Knicks need to play solid D. In half court sets, they can and probably will get any shot they want.
