[@brucelau2023]

In order for the Knicks to win this series, they must stop the Indiana Pacers pace and a half court defense Tyrese Haliburton will be a huge huge factor in the series and if Jalen Brunson can contain him defensively, I think the Knicks can win the series in six games

[@SmoggyFroggy]

you see there numbers next to each other? They are not even in the same league. Haliburton is not even puttin up half Brunson's numbers...I don't think this will be an issue, there is no way he can guard Brunson, Maxey had no chance against him either....and if Maxey can't handle him then you know Haliburton has no prayer.

[@QueseBGamin]

Brunson won't be guarding him, I think OG or Dante will.

January 31st game in the garden. The game brunson addressed receiving his 1st All Star appearance,we played the pacers, played with grit down by 12 points and they even poked jalen in the eyes at the last minutes...but we still beat them. Have faith in this team... this team doesn't have quit in them. Its gonna be a great series. In brunson we trust... hart of the city and you cant spell A Dog..without OG. LETS GO KNICKS 🟠🔵🟠🔵🟠🔵🗽💯

Knicks in 5… I don’t worry about teams that don’t rebound the ball and who don’t want to be in half court offense in the playoffs.

[@FM_Chatti]

That Pacers team, they got fire in them. But it will boil down to whoever commits the most error loses. Hali is as good as Brunson. They are both winners and both have killer instinct. When they smell blood, they put you out.

[@LysergiCoyotl]

If the elite offensive team hi pace/ elite defensive team slo pace cancel each other out, look at the next variables - better/hotter star player --- Brunson -- home court advantage - Knicks --- better rebounding team --- Knicks --- better coach ---Thibodeau. Edge, Knicks.

[@bryanrobinson6079]

If I gave you Brunson as the best player in this series and 40pg, the next 5 are easily Pacers. Much more talent and fire power, easily and confidently can go 10 deep. Over the series this will prove the difference, bench always has more energy at home. Pacers will win 1 of 2 @NY to start and hold serve at home. 4-2 Pacers

My prediction is Pacers in 5. Knicks short bench = exhaustion Pacers fast game = Knicks exhaustion Exhaustion = missed shots

[@LysergiCoyotl]

feel like you dont understand basketball very much. also Knicks have bench players they chose not to play vs 76ers for matchup reasons but I would expect if legs are truly becoming an issue that you'll see guys like Achiuwa and Alec Burks for spurts. But most of the Knicks are fast and have legs, just cause they play methodical, slower paced doesn't mean they dont score or dont have endurance ....

[@LysergiCoyotl]

Pacers are going to need to not get destroyed in the rebounding battle if they want a chance to win a game
