Man, you don't see an 8 second violation often in the NBA...let alone from a team that isn't known for defensive pressure.

Would be good for Dante to come back to earth a little for the rest of the series

I'm not sure if Toppin and McConnell are worthy of 6th man of the year, but I'd be surprised if there are a combo of bench players who produce more, especially offensively.

Those two bench guys have tied the ESPN Knicks so far.

No clue how that wasn't overturned.

I guess he grazed him on the nose but man his body and arms weren't even close. That sets a pretty high standard. The announcers are living in the Knicks drawers. That play to end the half was incredibly vertical, not a controversial call at all and they're making some huge thing about it. No mention when a Pacer gets hacked on the arm on a made 3.

Then Doris was crying for a call on last play of the quarter. Expect better from someone like her.

A lot of the sports media has a massive boner for the Knicks and they were among the worst franchises in American sports for a solid quarter century. Now that they have signs of life it's like they can't contain themselves.

There's just something about Tyrese---I literally can't see him without smiling. If he's even 25% as likable in real life, he'd be the most likable player in the league.

He and Brunson are legit friends off the court from what I've read even though they have this double rivalry of playoffs and fighting to play point for Team USA.

this officiating is criminal. Pacers up 25 going 8 vs 5

If you graze a Knick on the nose it's a foul. If you elbow a Pacer as hard as you can in the face...foul on the guy's face.

Seems like Tyrese is learning to play through the pain and the BS. When they called that flagrant foul on his nose he just bounced up and continued dominating the Knicks.
