I mean we all understand/know that without Brunson we have no chance. Unless we are playing Cleveland or something.

Great start, OG on fire, 11-pt lead, and now this. Disappointing.

Anyone else annoyed that the announcers are talking about how Haliburton is answering the bell and how well Indy is doing when the Knicks are missing so many players? I mean, if a fully healthy Indy team can't beat the B team with no depth, they dont deserve to be here.

8 offensive boards for Indy, enough said.

Put in Sims. The pacers are carving up Hartenstein and doing whatever they want in the paint

Knicks cant get their bearings defensively

If you say it a few more times I bet it happens.

Pacers are lighting up Hartenstein in the paint. They need to put in Sims

Its a joke we are down 2 all stars in Brunson and Randle and down 2 more rotation players in Mitch and Bogey. We are a shell.

NYStateOfMind @ 5/8/2024 9:07 PM
Technically, without JB, Randle, & Bogey, we are down 3 of our top 4 scorers. At some point it is too much, we saw this coming after Bogey went down.

However, even without JB you can't give up 73 points and expect to win any game with this team.

Awful on covering the three. Haven't seen them leave so many wide open shots in a single stretch like this

I am putting the game on mute second half

We’re coming back with or without Brunson, I can feel it in my bones

yea we are losing because of defense which ironically should be better with Deuce instead of Brunson.

but we have no shot if this is a serious injury.

LivingLegend @ 5/8/2024 9:11 PM
Brutal D collectively by Josh, Deuce and Donte —- guys blowing by all over and wide open.

Josh playing zero D - hard to blame him with effort all over but Deuce really getting lit up and Donte just leaving guys or stopping in mid rotation.

Pacers had guys standing around reading the inflation range on the ball while preparing to shoot WIDE OPEN 3’S or mid-ranges while everyone stands in the paint.

We need to wake the hell up - no excuse defensively without Brunson.

Josh turning ball over ALL UNFORCED —- Yuck.

This would be disgusting way to lose but Pacers seem to want to let us back in if we can string 3 or 4 stops.

What is a sore foot code for? I cant figure out what he hurt there

if he couldnt come back into this game its not a good sign IMO

None - very disappointed in Deuce right now - he’s too good defensively to look like this.

You might want to get that checked out.

Centers will have zero chance if Deuce, Josh and Donte are traffic cones on the perimeter —- they are getting torched.

The D implosion is really puzzling and the unforced TO’s killer.
