I'll take it!

KAT has been AWFUL defensively tonight. You just cannot drop that far back. But the shot is dropping, takes some of the sting out of it

Brunson is Brunson.

Mikal still riding high after Boston.

And Cam hit shots, which led to extra rest for Brunson. With how hard Indy is pressing early, that rest is huge.

Im not sure how Mitch only has 3 rebs
MaTT4281 @ 5/21/2025 9:16 PM
Not sure OG saw yet. Can we get him a phone at half time?

Someone get Silver on the phone and convince him a KAT for Giannis trade is good for the league

Been a long time since we played a team that wasnt locked in on defense

Good point

Brunson is making the shots that make me feel good about winning a close game.

We need to continue to attack the paint...Pacers play tight coverage and seem to try to force everything into Turner, problem is Kats presence is pulling him away from the rim....dribble drives and backdoor cuts are open...
DLeethal @ 5/21/2025 9:28 PM
Great half. The way we closed quarters bodes well for how we can buckle down on this team when game gets sticky. In between is gonna be back and forth madness. But we just need to be able to clamp down for mini runs to end quarters.

Doesn’t look like Carlisle will sacrifice pace to hack Mitch which is good

So far guarding Towns with Turner is very good

Towns defense is gonna be a mess in this series but to my first point it’s all about getting timely stops.

That's what happens when you never shoot FT Kal

Fucking refs cant let Nesmith foul Brunson 4 times every posession. Tired of this
MaTT4281 @ 5/21/2025 9:34 PM
Glad Thibs is challenging this. That's some BS. Going to have to get ahead of the Carlisle whining to the refs this series about fouls.

Explains why he's been so jittery with the ball.

Same crap Detroit did. I guess the philosophy is "they can't call 'em all." Like you, I'm tired of it.

I already know how this going to go.

So it's apparently ok for Brunson to get fouled half a dozen times every time he brings the ball up the court.

Reminiscent of that smack to the face last post season - Brunson on the floor, no call, Indy lays in for the lead.

KAT with hilariously bad D
