Fake run? Pacers didn’t score for 7 minutes

I stopped watching after the 1st qtr.

I don't want to lose 2hrs of watching trash ball from the Pacers. :lol:

Thibs wildin. Still playing Brunson in a 20-point plus blowout.

If Cs face NY, they can't lose the effort battle against NY.

The entire Knicks rotation right now, I would love to have come off the bench for us.

Minny outside of ant is poop. We should be able to destroy every team tbh but Tatum has been below average this year

Remind me again why we didn't go after Aaron Gordon when he was available? Would've been a decent big for this team.

Jordan Jr getting shut down so far.

Orlando wanted 2 1st rnd picks for Gordon.

Ainge was not willing to pay the price, so he opted for Fournier instead.

I can't remember Jordan Sr. losing a series after leading 2-0.

And Denver got him for 1 protected 1st round pick + players, correct?

So if what the prisoners of the moment committee say is gospel & Edwards is already better than Tatum. That should mean Edwards should be getting crucified for a 1/8 first half right ? I mean we all know Tatum would be getting absolutely cooked by everyone so I’m presuming Edwards is going to be held to the same standard ?

Pick 17

Pick 30

Pick 30

Pick 43

Undrafted..

That ladies and Gentlemen was the Knicks' draft position for their starting 5..without much bench help..

Even with Thibs' issues, Don't see how anyone cannot acknowledge how good he is coaching overall..

Nothing new here but the Joker is the best player in the NBA by a good damn margin..
