Sorry, meant to type hasn’t not has. When I typed it Brunson was still in the game. Smart to sit him. NY looks like a tired team.

My bad. Yeah Knicks already don't go deep and have a key player out in Anunoby so yeah they are gassed.

This is the 24/7 New York Knicks media out of its 25 year hibernation. It's full steam all the time now.

This player is the biggest loss in the history of organized sports. The Knicks would win the championship with him and cannot win a single game without him:
14.1 points per game, 4.4 rebounds per game, 1.5 assists per game

This player is completely useless to Pacers and having him out injured a few weeks ago and out for the entire playoffs is meaningless and nobody can ever even mention his name:
14.5 points per game, 4 rebounds per game, 2 assists per game

Their stats are IDENTICAL!!!!!!!!!!!!

WTF was that? Brunson just trucked into him? All the the things that get reviewed and they don’t correct that?

I’m not gonna feel too bad if Brunson has a career ending injury. The more I watch him half his game is crashing into people and tricking refs into wrong foul call. He’s probably caused a lot of injuries.
He definitely doesn’t belong on Team USA this summer.

Unfortunately your clearly biased towards Haliburton if you think he is better than Jalen Brunson

Did you watch team USA last summer? Hali is easily the better player in an all star situation and his #s vs Brunson showed it out on that team.

Is Brunson a better high volume scorer? Sure. Is he more valuable on the court with Steph, Durant, AntMan and LeBron…no, not even close.

They’d have probably won gold if Kerr had paired Edwards and Haliburton more instead of pairing Edward’s with a short ball hog style player.

FWIW their full season PER is identical, you’re some kind of weird Knicks fan if you can’t see they’re at least of comparable value.

At least in tonight’s game Haliburton has been a negative for the Pacers, he isn’t scoring and is a horrid defender.

It's amazing (frustrating) how many possessions the Pacers have had where Haliburton didn't even touch the ball.

The issue I have is he typically is the one passing up shots getting others the ball which he is good at but he can’t be 3 quarters in taking 4 shots.

The Knicks have basically taken Tyrese out of the game. He needs to be more aggressive

The Knicks haven't really done anything. Tyrese has taken himself out of the game. He needs more a**hole in him. Demand the ball, be selfish hunting for shots.
