Jovic deserves that foul for passing to Duncan Robinson instead of taking it to the rim lol

The right play but still it’s too much of an advantage not to take the foul at the least

Jarace Walker drilling 3 pointers is big for the Pacers and him maybe getting more consistent playing time. He is a better defender than Obi Toppin already, if he can hit 3 pointers he should get some of Toppins minutes even when he is healthy

I keep talking about that awful contract they gave him

What's really crazy is that traded Buddy Hield because they didn't want to pay him....and then turned around and gave Toppin that money lol

People talk about Haliburtons decline hurting the Pacers which is true but on top of that they were never really the same after trading Buddy

Peyton Watson has been pretty solid since getting the start, Braun has been great as a starter, and Strawther has been overall solid knocking down 3's decently off the bench. These injuries and offseason moves have forced Michael Malone to actually play these young dudes and they are showing him what they got.

they still need a solid back up center

KAT destroyed that fourth quarter.

Knicks on offense couldn't keep up with KATs blunders on the other end.

Let Halliburton drive on him. Didn't close out on Turner in back to back plays. Let Turner get an offense bound on him. Next play let Mathurin get an offense rebound on him.

Next thing you know we down10.

Leon Rose better hope this KAT shit works. Cause holy shit that 5 minute sequence was brutal and lost the a Knicks the game

Real talk fam you know I rock with yall but If you're a center in the NBA your number one priority is rim protection.....I don't care what you do offensively if you can't offer some sort of rim protection

It's extremely difficult, almost impossible to put together a legitimate defense if the backline is just giving up points at the basket without any resistance

Last season yall were 6th in defense, this season yall are like 20th even with elite defensive wings in Mikal and OG.......Yalls offense is legit, 2nd best in the league.....but defensively yall need to get up to at least middle of the pack around 13-16 but I'm not exactly sure if that's possible


Plenty of time to try to figure it out though, hopefully getting some guys healthy or pulling off a trade can help

it was funny how everyone earlier in the season was freaking out about Denver not over paying guys like Brown (last season) and KCP. The national media pundits were losing their minds. It's still hella early in the season, but I liked those 3 young dudes I named to step up and they are starting to do so now that they are getting playing time.

Of course Murray and Michael Porter Jr. have to play to their usual levels or better for them to truly compete for another championship, but the young role players so far have proven to be solid as a whole.
