The Knicks one and Tyreese Halliburton had a phenomenal night again twenty one points, thirteen assists, six rebounds. You know he turned finally he turned the ball over. But he was great. Them was unbelievable. His defense was sensation. Nie Smith played well. I thought the difference in the ball game was guys and Dwight. I don't know what you think. I thought TV Thomas Bryant coming off the bench. He had three big threes. Oh show he blocked the shot.

I mean his.

I mean his.

President in Odi Thomas he was all over the players. I thought they played well watching this game. What do you think what was the major reason that the Pacers were able to win this series? They weren't favored in any of the series, but they ended up winning and going to the NBA Finals, and they make quick work of teams that were seen higher than them and was favored over them. Why were the Pacers able to win this series and make it look relatively easy in doing it?

I would say they're one of the deepest teams outside of ok See is why they why they've been winning. They can go one through ten or they can play the whole anybody from one through ten. They could play and co out there and be successful. So I think that's one of the biggest reasons why their offense. You know, you got Holley, He's gonna give you buckets, He's gonna get you assist as see Oka man, he is the difference again.

You know, you got Holley, He's gonna give you buckets, He's gonna get you assist as see Oka man, he is the difference again.

Yeah, he's the difference maker for me. And I thought he was aggressive. I thought both guys were aggressive to night. Remember the other night, Oh, Joe Halliburton was not aggressive. I think he had two shots at the Haven tonight. He was nine of seventeen five from the three point line, one on one from the free throw line, Pascal Siaka extremely aggressive, ten of eighteen, three or five from the three point line, eight of eleven from the free throw line.

He had thirty one points. Nie Smith ten points, Turner eleven points, Mim Hard fourteen points. Halliburton, as I mentioned twenty one and thirteen, you had Obie Topping twenty five minutes. He gave you eighteen.

He had thirty one points. Nie Smith ten points, Turner eleven points, Mim Hard fourteen points. Halliburton, as I mentioned twenty one and thirteen, you had Obie Topping twenty five minutes. He gave you eighteen.

Thomas Brian TV came in with thirteen minutes, three or five from the floor, three or four from the three point line, two or two from the free throw line, eleven big points.

And that was the difference in the series.

All Seri as long, Oh joll We talked about this their bitch, because they're going to play nine ten guys every game, it does not matter.

All Seri as long, Oh joll We talked about this their bitch, because they're going to play nine ten guys every game, it does not matter.

And you see.

And you see.

Tim started trying to do that. He started going dabbling into his bench a little bit more. He played mcbrid played all along, and then they inserted Robinson, Mitchell Robinson into the started line up and it brought Josh Hard off the bench. But you saw Landry Shammit get some extending minutes. We saw Durrell Wright get extended minutes, and so that's normally what we see they normally play seven guys, seven guys, but they started playing eight, nine guys. But it was not enough because their benches, they they couldn't get the production to match what Indiana bench was giving.

Boy Brunson and Cat would have had would have had to have an out of out of boy the experience.

I think Bronson was holding on to the basketball too much.

Too long. I heard people talk about that earlier. But that's the way he's always running with gas.

Too long. I heard people talk about that earlier. But that's the way he's always running with gas.

It is, but he was tiring himself out and then nobody else is getting shot up because he holding the ball and came just trying to drive.

It is, but he was tiring himself out and then nobody else is getting shot up because he holding the ball and came just trying to drive.

Yeah yeah, yeah, hey, listen, not the next missing free throws on they had what I think almost eighteen eighteen plus.

Yeah yeah, yeah, hey, listen, not the next missing free throws on they had what I think almost eighteen eighteen plus.

Some turn miss nine free throws. They were seventeen to twenty six from the free throw line. Listen, and on.

Top of on top of the pacers thrive on fast, great points and posts turnover. Yes they do. I mean you watched it. You watched this game, guys.

Top of on top of the pacers thrive on fast, great points and posts turnover. Yes they do. I mean you watched it. You watched this game, guys.

By four minutes left in the third quarter, Indiana turned up their defense and what was the sixth point lead, all of a sudden it went the double figures. And from that point on like this, So that defense was a nim hard knee smith obie past calf. Those guys were on it from that fourth but the last four minutes of the third quarter and through that, excuse me, the third quarter and then into the fourth quarter, their defense went to another level and they started turning them over, and all of a sudd what was a six point lead, it went to fifteen, like in the blink of an eye, just like that.

And that's what.

And that's what.

And on made baskets, I'm like, hold on, wait a minute, Dwight, I know you're watching this. On Joe, Yeah, the U two Ojoe, the Knicks would make a basket. They would pass the ball to Halle he would get the ball ahead to them hard.

And on made baskets, I'm like, hold on, wait a minute, Dwight, I know you're watching this. On Joe, Yeah, the U two Ojoe, the Knicks would make a basket. They would pass the ball to Halle he would get the ball ahead to them hard.

I mean to.

Aiaia was euro step and so basically from the time they take the ball out to the ball in the.

Basket in three seconds. Yeah yeah, I mean, I'm like, bro, y'all can't on a Maine basket. You giving up a layup or nothing. Boys tired, They tired, They tired, Yah, they ready to go.

Basket in three seconds. Yeah yeah, I mean, I'm like, bro, y'all can't on a Maine basket. You giving up a layup or nothing. Boys tired, They tired, They tired, Yah, they ready to go.

Because the thing was that, Look, I knew after the first game that the Knicks were in trouble because you lost and Jaylen Brunston and Cat went crazy. Jaylen Brunson had forty three, Cat had thirty six, and you still lose.

Because the thing was that, Look, I knew after the first game that the Knicks were in trouble because you lost and Jaylen Brunston and Cat went crazy. Jaylen Brunson had forty three, Cat had thirty six, and you still lose.

So what was the likelihood the White.

So what was the likelihood the White.

That Jaylen brus was gonna average forty and then and Cad was gonna average thirty.

That Jaylen brus was gonna average forty and then and Cad was gonna average thirty.

That's what they would have had.

That's what they would have had.

To do in order to win yere and I just I just didn't see that happening, especially with the committee that the Pacers have they're gonna get. When they won, they had six guys and double figures every time. Find the same guys. Now they had seven guys in double figures, and it's hard to defend them because who's their goal to guy?

When they won, they had six guys and double figures every time. Find the same guys. Now they had seven guys in double figures, and it's hard to defend them because who's their goal to guy?

Is it?

Is it?

Siakam is it?

Siakam is it?

Is it Halle because we saw aaron Ne Smith come into that game one and make six three pointers in the last five minutes of the ball game, and we saw we know Neil actually and when you go back and think about it, matth Burn really didn't play well this series. He's one of their better players, especially off the bench, and you got he got in foul trouble, so it was really hard for him to get a rhythm. So there's only really two games in which he played really, really well. He's due to have a stretcher game. But I just thought the Knicks at the end, they just alrady like turn the ball over and the lake they make a basket and Hall it would get the ball, he get it ahead to Siakam and he eurostep and he led it up or he just diving straight to the basket. I'm like, well, damn, y'all, y'all don't y'all don't want to stop that. Y'all know gonna make her miss. They're looking to push tempo and that's what the problem is. And Tim might have did this too late. Dwight, Tim live what you think? Because Tim he grinds these guys down in the regular Seaton and damn grind them down in the postseason. And when you play the first three games, first two games, and you got guys playing forty four forty six and they went in the overtime playing all those minutes, it's hard. Once you start extending that series, it's gonna get harder for them guys to have them legs because they go every other day.

You can tell they was tired.

You can tell they was tired.

You can tell you if you watch Mitchell Robinson when he got in the game, it was a he started out with a great burst of entity. He'd have big moments, but then he'll start lagging behind those defense. He'll come in laid on plays and stuff like that, so he can tell these guys didn't have no legs. So, man, Tim's gotta I think he gotta start playing this bench.

So, man, Tim's gotta I think he gotta start playing this bench.

A little bit. But I know he don't really, he don't really like players bench. But he was like that in Chicago he got him in trouble. He liked that.

A little bit. But I know he don't really, he don't really like players bench. But he was like that in Chicago he got him in trouble. He liked that.

In Minnesota he liked that. He liked that in the Knicks. He grind those guys. I mean, you only got so much in your legs. You grind a guy you playing guys thirty nine and forty minutes in the regular season. He true, Nah, And then come playoffs, it's even more because you gotta focus even more. So that burns even more energy out of it. And so now you playing concentrated minutes and you playing forty plus minutes a night.

Now, do I agree with you, Dwight on that he's gonna have to play. He's gonna have to trust.

Now, do I agree with you, Dwight on that he's gonna have to play. He's gonna have to trust.

That's what it comes down to, because you could throw guys in there, but he doesn't trust his bench. He trusted them for a handful of games and they and they served him well. But tonight they just didn't have it. They just didn't have it tonight. And I thought that at the half the game, the first half, the Knicks couldn't script it any better. We got a game if only a four point game. Yeah, those teams are in the fifty So if we extrapolate and double that up, that's one hundred and eight hundred and ten.

But they're gonna get sixty seven in the second half. Yeah, yeah.

But they're gonna get sixty seven in the second half. Yeah, yeah.

And Deiana is one of those teams though that and don't they could eat down twenty points and come back and win the game.

And Deiana is one of those teams though that and don't they could eat down twenty points and come back and win the game.

So it's like, if you gonna beat them, you gotta put them away. You can't play with them. They just asked. Then they found out gave one first hand.

So it's like, if you gonna beat them, you gotta put them away. You can't play with them. They just asked. Then they found out gave one first hand.

Yeah, they'll have.

Yeah, they'll have.

I don't see. There ain't no mention in the Bible. You know, I thought a scholar, I feel logit on some biblical scholar. But I don't know if I've seen any reference to him in basketball, And so I guess I guess you be what you will take. Jordan, maybe Patrick Ewett? Who else willis reed? Rest his soul? Clyde Frazier.

You should have did what you're supposed to do and then we wouldn't have had this problem. But we got what we got now. But for me, I think, okay, see, it is a little deeper. I think they're a little better.

They have one of the best players in the NBA, to have a top five player in Shae. They play out standing defense. They got I'm talking about their wing guys with Caruso and dor and Jalen Williams and Carson and Wiggins and Wallace, Isaiah Joe. They got six seven guys the White that can defend at an elite level.
