The more I think about this series, the more I think the Knicks take this in 6 games. Pacers need Haliburton to step up.

Knicks -6.0 in Game 1.
A statement opening game from the Knicks would be nice. Win by big double digits, cruise to the win and establish the fact that the Pacers are not on the same level as them.

Maxey was questionable for one of those games as well. Unless the player isn't at warmups, assume it's gamesmanship.

I don't think so. He's a defensive liability. He might score 10 but his defensive lapses will lead to 20.

No chance thats the case. Why would Thibs fall for that, and why would anything change? Knicks are going to be prepared for almost everyone on the Pacers.. whether Hali plays or not doesn't change much except making it easier for the Knicks.

Same reason Philly listed Maxey as questionable, try & force us to devote some of our limited prep time to guys that won't play.

Will he get revenge on the rim for blocking him?

The knicks/sixers series was by far the most compelling series in the playoff so far.

Pacers PF/C combo is far better than the Knicks.
Hali and Brunson will be a close call.
The pace of the Pacers is going to exhaust the tight lineups that Thibs lays with.
Just to put in perspective the Pacers played at a much slower place in Round 1 then they did in the regular season.
Also Milwaukee was one of the worst offensive rebounding teams in the NBA. And that was with Giannis playing all year who avg nearly 3 offensive rebounds a game (by far bucks best offensive rebounders).
So Indy is going to have to deal with a completely different animal this series.

Yeah Bucks prioritise transition defense over offensive boards.
Knicks will have more shots but I'm expecting Pacers offensive efficiency to be fat higher than Knicks.

Clash of styles.
