11 missed FTs in a game is not good, in a half, that is horrific. Everything falling short screams fatigue. I hope they are just saving it for the 2nd half. Better start the 3rd strong.

I don’t want to hear anything about fatigue. We just played our best game of the playoffs and had 2 days off.

I think effort has largely been fine and good enough to win minus FTs and Brunson. To be only down 10 despite those things tells me the rest is good enough to win.

The Knicks are playing reasonably well... except for Brunson. He's off on everything right now. Is he healthy?

What was the call at the end of the quarter? Was there a technical foul? They just ended time and there's nothing on the game log. That they waived off that prayer 3 - so it already worked out for us, but still...

You may not want to hear it all you want, but when shots repeatedly fall short, their lift is limited by tired legs. Just need to bring it 2nd half. But they need to limit 1st half mistakes.

They just never call travels, this isn't basketball, what a joke. Hali took 3 steps to take that 3, 1 forward and two back, stops then takes the shot, which is technically 2 travel violations. Can't defend that crap.

Broken rib? Torn muscle? Anyone know what's up here with Hart?

How does a team play its best game of the playoffs and then get “tired” with no games in between? Lol

Every time a team gets a beat down they say “tired” and “energy” it’s just cliche nonsense. This is a tight playoff series between two evenly matched teams and it’s going back and forth

I'm thinking a muscle problem. But, who knows?

Why do cars break down as the miles build up after driving just fine the day before? Haha

Fouled iHart and was out of bounds twice when he hit it back into play. Calls are atrocious, but Siakam wants a foul with no contact, f the refs and Indy. Game 7 at home, time to bring it and make them cry.

P.S. Can't teach stupid.

Thibs deserves everything he gets.

This is a ****ing disgrace! Cancel the contract.

Wtf is Brunson or anyone in the game we need in game 7.

Do cars break down then drive fine the next day then break down again then drive fine the next day?

This is how playoff series look. Not always a narrative that needs to be tied to it. Indy is great at home and so-so on the road. They beat our asses in Indy and haven’t lost a game there, they play with a much different confidence there.

If there’s no Hart and no OG that might spell doom though.

Yeah, but the Knicks have been teaching us pain for years.

So you're saying we're the BMWs of the NBA.

One potential wrinkle is a 3 guard lineup with double big front court might work better than double big with Hart at the 3.
