Hali ability to have major impact without needing to score 30 and chuck up 30 shots is why I love his game.

[@dvdv8197]

Starts at 2:20 😊

[@nicoalexander774]

As a Dubs fan, I got a lot of respect for the Knicks. Jalen, Tibs, Hart, Dante, IH, Deuce, Alec coming in out of nowhere, but at some point, the spirit is willing but the body is only flesh! Exactly how much longer can they play with this kind of force/effort before there’s nothing left?! Hart going out today may have been the proverbial and literal straw that finally breaks this camel’s back! Hope I’m wrong tho!🤞🏼🤞🏼

[@meatusshaft300]

Haliburton needs to hit up his boy, Austin Reaves, to figure out how to play better on the road and draw more fouls in NY! 😂

[@PlusheesRl]

Bruh the refs are so different in NY it's not even funny. He could get legit punched in the face in MSG and it won't get called lmao

[@justinwilson9848]

He would have to pay the refs like tibs does

[@justinwilson9848]

​@@PlusheesRl refs tried hard to give the Knicks the game last night Knicks 26 free throws pacers 13 it's been like that every game Knicks can't win without it

[@15awesomehighfive]

I mean, the fact than JB + DDV and three non-starters are taking a healthy Pacers team to 7 says it all.

[@mranderson8725]

All these players receives a weekly check so they need to go out there and do their job

[@dvdv8197]

Love these long mailbag sections 🎉❤

[@tonythames]

Jason, you're a real one. Thank YOU!

[@KogaDevv]

i would definitely say the Pacers have a better chance than the knicks- knicks are just so badly injured its hard to see them making it further than a fully healthy and good looking Pacers squad

[@denigster]

only chance the pacers have is that the whole boston team gets injured - the only way indy can win when all stars are hurt

[@Willyharry420]

@@denigsterit’s apart of the game 😂 especially when you’re the knicks. Tom thibodope don’t rest his starters, no shit his team is falling apart. Smart teams know how to rest players.

[@TheFinikias]

@@Willyharry420 It's attrition too. When OG Anunoby, Brunson, Hart got hurt, Thibs had to use his reserves and they stunk. Basically Knicks have no depth. If he uses his bench, they don't get past 76ers. Tough choice imo

[@michaeljordan6373]

​@@TheFinikiasthere starters beside brunson were bench players in the regular season Knicks injuries caused that bro a fully healthy Knicks Alec Burks was 11th man

[@vision8641]

[@deeptime5581]

No Hall, No Annonoby....Knicks are cooked...The Thibeault effect....

[@cleanfresh6718]

Hart is a freak injury just stop. You can only make the Thibs case with OG. Thibs didn’t dislocate Randles shoulder and he didn’t fracture Mitch’s ankle

[@chrisstfort7]

How did Thibs cause Randle, Bogdanovic and Mitchell Robinson to get injured? You’re suggesting it’s due to fatigue, please look back at the injuries and explain how Thibs caused them.

[@voakenfold]

Well… that’s what we all thought back in game 5….so.. I won’t bet the farm on Indiana..

[@chrisstfort7]

@@cleanfresh6718 Exactly. It’s a bullshit narrative. Thibs didn’t make Batum dive into Bogdanovic’s leg. He didn’t make Randle get undercut mid-air. Mitch was logging 25-30 minutes early in the season, he wasn’t run into the ground he’s just injury prone. Against Philly he logged even less minutes. The OG injury a case can be made but at that point the team was depleted. Burks is playing well now but gave us nothing in the regular season so I understood him being out of the rotation.

[@Radioghost717]

@@chrisstfort7Randle was playing up 20 with 4 minutes left in the game. Thibs was playing Brunson with us up 30 with 3 minutes left. It’s ridiculous

[@AurorasFavorite]

For the mail bag Hey Jason, On one of the recent shows you said you think Luka is definitively the 2nd best player in the league after Jokic. I personally believe Giannis is firmly #2 but I feel like what he does on both ends night in & night out is getting overlooked. He's a 30/11/6 guy and still one of the best defensive players in the league. Injuries have cut Milwaukee's playoff hopes short last year and this year but I'm curious why Giannis isn't #2 on your list. Been a big supporter of the show for the last 2 years! I think it's the most informative hoop analysis around. thanks for your hard work.

[@SayMy_User_Name]

The hart injury could really be the back breaker, but I still find it hard to see the pacers winning in the garden.. but man respect to them they played a great game last night and it’s gonna be a tough game 7

[@nycedyme4]

Love the content…as a Kobe Stan I must say though he was a second option he was the 1st option the last 5 mins of every big game. The offense ran thru him mostly because Shaq being able to get fouled. He wasn’t the alpha but he and Ant had similar roles as the #1 defensive perimeter stopper as well as the go to guy when it mattered most. Also 22 year old Kobe in the slowest paced era with his own team avg 35

[@brockjensen2473]

That Trae young disrespect is crazy. Even with his inefficiency he’s on par with Brunson and he’s a significantly better passer. Offensively I give trae the edge however to be fair he is awful on defense 😂

[@samjameson4019]

Going to the dead show at the sphere in Las Vegas June 13 and 14!!!

[@TopRivers]

Saying Brunson can be the best player on a championship team is interesting. I don't agree

[@Mr.MooseTheGreat]

I disagree with the Boston and wolves take… I think they would smother the Celtics and force them into their worst habits and crush them

[@orrinfullerton4933]

Why dont you consider Randle to be a legit secondary shot creator?

[@KxngAntTae]

He is too volatile in the playoffs like if u could get the best version of Randle in playoffs consistently then yes he can def be a secondary shot creator he just doesn’t reach his ceiling in the playoffs more often than not.

[@mrbleuchef]

Knicks also look tired and how could they not be. I hope the Pacers win because even Stephen A says the Celts want New York because they are so beat up and tired.

[@yahcrack]

THE HOME TEAM HAS WON EACH GAME IN THIS SERIES. KNICKS MSG WITH THEIR REFS WILL WIN.

[@cmac392]

Timpf is completely dismissive of the EC

[@DoremonUCR]

The series shows how bad the east is. Pacers should have won this in 5-6 games tops. That in season tourney was such a fluke.

Pacers would have won in 6 had it not been for a phantom kicked ball call that was a 5 point swing and a illegal screen called for the first time all game yet had been executed multiple times by both teams. Not to mention, an overturned foul call earlier in the game

[@AmandaabnamA]

​@@samwright9618Pacers are allowed to play their clingy defense and get no calls. And dude does a lot of illegal screens and messy defense. It's a pattern at this point. Quit playing

[@deshardmyles86]

That’s thibs coaching for you , constantly playing your guys 40 minutes a game is never going to help you in the long run

[@chrisstfort7]

@@deshardmyles86 Batum dove at Bogdanovic’s legs, out for season. Randle got under cut mid-air and tore his shoulder, out for season. Mitchell Robinson was playing 25-30 minutes per game and suffered an early season injury. Returned and averaged even less minutes against Philly and Embiid tugged his leg mid-air aggravating his foot…out for season. Please explain to me exactly how Thibs caused any of these injuries? I’m not even trolling I’m genuinely asking for an explanation.

Who? And I already highlighted that Randle, Bogdanovic, Mitch all had freak injuries NOT DUE TO FATIGUE. Thibs is playing who he had left. Tell me who else Thibs should play?
