As far as the Knicks. They are essentially playing with only 7 and needing Brunson to bang it out and he did it again 2nd half for the 4th game in a row. I continue to think the Pissers will take control and win the series but if they don't, Knicks are dead in the water against the Celtics. No chance beat them with 7 and needing Bronson to go off.
You keep waiting for Brunson to hit the wall, the only thing he's hitting are jumpers all over the court, it's not like he's some mediocre player on a hot streak and eventually he'll revert back to form, they guy's a fucking killer, the highest praise I can say about him is Spo loves him and always speaks highly of him, and it hasn't been just Brunson, in game one DiVincenzo scored 25 and Hart 24, last night DiVincenzo scored 25 and Anonoby 28, when other guys are stepping up, the Knicks are a tough team to beat. Also, I told you before the series how poor Indiana's defense was, they ranked near the bottom of the league defensively, and that might not matter a whole lot during the regular season when you're playing Detroit or Washington, but in the playoffs you need to get stops and they just can't, so far through two games the Knicks are shooting 55% from the field and 47% from three, I don't care how good you are offensively, you can't win allowing those kind of shooting numbers, I also told you how big of an edge the Knicks would have on the boards, so far they're out rebounding the Pacers 84 to 66, when you can't rebound or play defense you're in trouble, even though I picked the Knicks to win the series I still won't count any team out that has yet to play a home game, so Indy is still alive, but if they allow the Knicks to shoot it at that high a level, the Pacers will be on the golf course pretty soon
