KAT is a roller coaster but 20 pts in 6 mins with season on the line is legend ****

KAT explosion saved us. Deuce's defense saved us

That Josh Hart rebound+ 2 made FT won the game

Brunson didn't give Chuck the time of day on his knucklehead question on Thibs

People say this as if the hasn't led us to over 150 wins over the last 3 seasons...

Its not always that easy.

Also, when he’s out there his teammates often defer back to him. It’s not always JB just ball hogging it. He plays with some passive offensive players.

And yet...rhey did it

We needed JB to have 5 fouls.

Allowed deuce to be loose
Allowed KAT to PURR

Smart offense / defense substitutions by Thibs

Been saying all year that JB, as good as he is, still can improve.
By getting better at running an offense instead of the 6th man scoring mentality he gets into at times. Has a lot of talent around him and sometimes doesn’t let them get going.
But damn, he is closer!

I think he knows when to pull the strings way more often than not. Pacers press him and we don't use 2 PGs. We could help him out more.

They really went at him hard with that ****. Like trying to get him to badmouth his coach.

I think all of the above can be true.

Still a fairly newish team too, they all gotta figure it out.

And another 2 points erased on fantom travel which would have put us up 6.

If you recall last year we were very close to going up 3-0 on Indy before some late heroics and they stole the game from us. Then we got walloped in game 4. Revenge is sweet. Let’s get it.
