Kid is like 12 years old and any comparison to MJ is just pure delusion. Same with SGA who’s just another ft-hungry Hardenesque individual, much loved and pampered by the referees. Both are under JT, Rudy Gay version or not.

Best way to stop brunson is to keep letting tibs run him into the ground. He already has nagging injuries and tibs ain't letting up the pressure at all

I knew this NY/Indy series was going back to NY 2-2. Not over obviously but getting close.

Knicks could have been down 3-1, if not for the favorable calls in game 1. Knicks and brunson running on fumes

They Jays would destroy both matchups. Cavs are a harder matchup than any of this teams.

We’d play drop against Brunson and he’d probably average 40. Hali has a chance to lay an egg regardless.

Brunson could average 40 and I'm still not sure that series goes any longer than 5. The Knicks just don't have enough guys, and without OG (and maybe with him) they don't have the length to guard the Celtics.

Pacers may actually be slightly tougher. They at least have a high offensive ceiling, the best way to win beta the Celtics as we've seen so far this playoffs is hit a bunch of threes.

Yup. Pacers actually have offensive players where some nights it can be 4-5 different players giving us trouble

Best case scenario: We win in 5 & Knicks win in 7

Knicks are a lot better matchup for us & at that point they’d be gassed before the series even starts.

Both matchups have their positives and negatives. Pacers are trash defensively and should feast on them , but can explode on the otherend and Knicks have no firepower outside of Brunson, but can be difficult to play. Essentially comes down to if you prefer a shootout series or grind it out series.

Brunson 9 pts on 11 shots. Last game was 26 pts on 26 shots. Dude just shoots and fishes for fouls every trip down. Hate watching the guy play..

Looks like the Pacers and Knicks will both be going the distance again. It’s imperative for us to finish Cleveland off in 5 while those two team maul each other for 7 games.
Handsome.
