But he is human and I said I wanted to avoid teams with pace like Indy and Orlando, but we got Indy and fatigue is going to set in eventually. I think they are tired and without JB to bail them out, it doesn't look good. Hopefully, it is just this game, and we either put up a fight or just let it go. But with this team and injuries, hard to think this will have a positive short-term result.

LivingLegend wrote:Brutal D collectively by Josh, Deuce and Donte —- guys blowing by all over and wide open.

Josh playing zero D - hard to blame him with effort all over but Deuce really getting lit up and Donte just leaving guys or stopping in mid rotation.

Pacers had guys standing around reading the inflation range on the ball while preparing to shoot WIDE OPEN 3’S or mid-ranges while everyone stands in the paint.

We need to wake the hell up - no excuse defensively without Brunson.

Josh turning ball over ALL UNFORCED —- Yuck.

This would be disgusting way to lose but Pacers seem to want to let us back in if we can string 3 or 4 stops.

YES - Josh is doing everything I get it but he has to wake up on D.

You will get easy buckets and then will get a bunch more. Hart will get some C2C layups and they will get a ton of transition 3s. No idea why we are doing this crap again. That’s why the defense is so bad, we are playing a full court transition game we have no chance of winning.

We are getting dribbled by left/right in ALL settings half or full —- if we can fix that we can play and me per I think we still need to push pace for easy buckets with no Jalen.

I would have sat Josh some in 1st half - he was that bad on D and with TO’s.

We controlled tempo to start the game. They had like 12 points the first 8 mins of the game before Brunson got hurt. Then Hart decided to try and be a nonstop fast break.

Brunson looks 50 pct but the Knicks are inspired a bit and the crowd is back

Does Turner know he has to stop walking to set a pick?

Non-Knicks fans would be surprised, but this is the heart I expect. A few stops and if JB can hang on, we have a chance. Shocked he is back, but that is these Knicks. I'm so proud of their no-quit mentality. Tighten up this D and slow the pace down a bit, we might have a chance. Let's go Knicks!

Hang with these guys for a few more minutes and then we can take over the game.
