The Healthier and deeper Pacers are playing with more energy and at a higher pace. The Knicks are a tired, depleted and injured team. You can see thee players have heart, they have the will but they are tired, thats why they are making bad decisions on sloppy execution.


Pacers offense with offball screens and cuts

Knicks got three guys in the same corner on every possession
this. Knicks have tunnel vision when it comes to floor spacing and setting up the offense. They struggle to spread themselves. They can’t find space and open looks. They struggle to move with the ball and off the ball in the paint. Usually offensive rebounding is one of their strengths- they haven’t got offensive boards and second scoring chances around the rim today. But give credit to the the pacers, they are taking away space for the Knicks, they are blocking the potential passing lanes and are applying strong pressure on the ball handler. They are aggressive on defense and they force the Knicks ball handlers and passing targets to rush their moves and make bad decisions on offense. Knicks haven’t shot well so far, they only hit 44,7% of their field goal attempts. They are 17/39 (shooting) right now. Pacers are over 75% from the field ( 28/39 shooting)

It’s not casual breh…they not hustling out there at all.

Thats the Knicks whole MO.

"The team that gets more rebounds wins the game"

is the same as saying

"The team that makes more shots wins the game"

much like famous moron John Madden's

"At the end of the game the team with more points on the board is going to win"

I thought if Knicks would cut down to 10 before halftime they'd have a chance. No chance when it's nearly 20.
