Knicks · WE HERE! ECF GAME 1 Thread - 5/21 8:00 TNT (page 2)

jskinny35 wrote:For me the keys are...

-Kat playing aggressive and no head fakes and 8 seconds to lumber to the rim (pacers will swarm)
-Not allowing McConnell to date rape Brunson every times he brings the ball up (will wear him down)
-Bridges not in foul trouble falling for Hali's step back ugly 3s
-Thibs playing Precious and Shamet some minutes as Indy runs every game and we will likely be tired/wear down as series progresses
-Guarding the 3 pt line tightly with Nembhard and Nesmith (no uncontested threes)

We do this and stay healthy and we should win in 5 or 6. We do 1/2 these things (esp guard 3 pt line) and we should still win!

- transition D (whether it's just getting back quickly or hammering them on the offensive boards)
- switching perimeter screens again and JB/Kat holding their own (I feel like if we are in drop or chasing the ball all over we may be doomed). Switch - everyone stay home in good help position and make Indy beat you 1 on 1 from perimeter.
- someone please stop Hali from going to his right hand

They let Indy set moving screen after moving screen last year and ride Brunson up the court. Hopefully they don't allow TJ, Neismith, Mathurin to do the same this series. Would really like to see Thibs allow someone else to bring the ball up, Hart, Bridges so Brunson isn't getting all that extra contact.

Series is all on KAT. He needs to get his ass in the post and dominate. No fadeaways, be agreesive and no stupid fouls.

I do wonder if maybe Cam Payne makes a reappearance and could possibly spell Jalen having to get the ball up the court.

Deuce scares me doing anything besides shooting that sweet jumper and blocking breakaway layups at the rim.

Deuce scares you more than Cam??!! Really?

Been so long since the last ECF I dont remember! Might get some NY style pizza. There is one in the area that actually lives up to the billing.

So many so called NY style places are nothing like it. Can count on one hand the number of good places in the last 30 years.

You want a NYC meal ? How about a pastrami sandwich on rye ? Or a chopped cheese, bodega bacon, egg, and cheese hero. A bagel with lox and cream cheese. Some fried chicken chunks with tostones.

Im making Hawaiian chicken and party like its 1973!
Take chicken quarters, put in a casserole dish with a jar of Saucy Susan, the pour over some canned fruit cocktail, not with grape fruit, but that heavy syrup shit with peaches, pears, grapes and those red cherry slices!
Need a veggie say you? Potatoes au graten bitch!
Desert? one of those frozen Sara Lee chocolate cakes.
Wash it down with some Ovaltine and milk!
If still hungry and game runs late, cheese doodles and Grape Fanta.
My bud breaks out his bong and getting muchies we hitting a box of Yodels.

Mmmm. My idea of partying like its the 70s would be a bucket of Chicken Delight. It was juicy and crispy without being greasy. And for dessert Sara Lee walnut layer cake. Bring it back! Best frozen cake ever Biznatch!

I dont smoke herb anymore, but once in a while I like the legal THC shots they sell here. The indica is very relaxing and long lasting.

That chicken sounds delicious. All that’s missing is a few dollups of Cool Whip!

DET. I know it isn't the popular opinion but I have felt this way ever since we beat BOS. IND is just a paper-tiger that had the good fortune of playing a MIL team whose 2nd "best" player (Kyle Kuzma) scored as much as I did in multiple games; and a CLE team that is baby-sh*t grade soft as well as injured. If healthy. I think we take IND down in 5.

The Albanians took over most of the NYC pizzerias. Don’t get me wrong most of the time they do a good job. However, there are some places especially in Manhattan that are just obvious cash grabs meant to rip off tourists who think Little Caesars is pizza.

Best pizzarias are Aldo’s in Cross Bay Blvd Queens. Krispy in Brooklyn. If you’re in Jersey Donna’s in Palisades Park.

Let's just hope the Knicks keep on Rollin' and Indy fans wake up tomorrow wanting to Break Stuff.
