Went too soon and made on obvious TO type pass. This is Brunson’s weakness

I think we are playing ok - 10 turnovers and 16 pts allowed off that is the difference. We need to take care of the ball and we can win

JB is just as bad on them, if not worse. He waves at the pick guy, making KAT stay midway, then JB goes to his man, is too late as that guy hits an open layup, or the open 3 guy nails it. Bad coaching philosophy and JB should know better but hasn't learned this. KAT has 1 foul, it was dumb and cost us 2 pts, but still only 1 foul. IF we are lucky enough to pull this out, Chuck needs to ask JB why he is terrible on picks/switches, then maybe he will know his big error and dribbling into turnovers like OG and Randle this game, it is ugly.

Brunson has cooked Nembhard for years - if we are to win he needs to do it again

Obviously this can go either way, but as someone who suffered through the Zach Randolph/Mike Bibby years, I'm pretty excited to be this close to the fist finals since 99. Let's get this **** done!

You’re absolutely right! Kolek is definitely not the call here.

The correct call would be to put in perennial favorite Frank Ntilikina! Victory is assured!

KAT back to his bad drop down defense.
JB back to his tunnel vision.
Two things which hurt us in losses.
Hope they make the adjustment.

Nobody dribbles the ball upcourt and dumps it off better!

Its not that dissimilar from last game except Brunson and KAT cant score. Pacers were hot from 3 last game too. We also need to create more turnovers on D. We started well, but then they didnt get one the whole 2nd q i believe

Real question, why do we need high double pics for JB?
Thought we added floor spacers that would let JB cook?
Asking for a friend.
