The winning team was 994-0 when leading a playoff game by 14+ with 2:45 left ... until the Knicks choked away Game 1, according to the AP.

I've seen these stats recently, but aren't they a bit misleading?  The Pacers have 3 wins when they've been down 7 or more, and under a minute, which is amazing.  But my question is how many of these 1000+ games have been in the 10pts or less category that the sports media is stating?  Presumably, many of these games were blowouts.  The stat shouldn't be 7 pts or more, or 9 pts or more, etc. It should be teams that have won down 7 or down 9 with whatever time is left on the clock.

Brunson us just torching these dudes.  I think you have to double once he gets near the paint. 

MuggsyB

Van Gundy is right.  Indy should foul Robinson.  He's destroying them on the glass.

Brunson getting a real favorable whistle tonight. Surprised it's so quiet around here about that after yesterdays commentary @GB Warrior

No idea why Indy would let Brunson go one on one. 

MuggsyB

Wow.  Can't believe that shot. 

Indy with another huge win. 

MuggsyB

Thibs is going to be hammered a bit with this one.  Brunson can't sit the first 3 mins of the 4th.  And he also waited too long to get Towns back in the game. 

Shaka Shart

How can you even celebrate beating a fully healthy team on the road? Pacers so annoying

It's rare to hear Thibs leaving a star on the bench too long. Usually it's the opposite.

I find it odd Towns played only 28 mins.  As for Brunson I think you have to play him the entire 4th Q.  Bridges played 45 mins, Brunson only 39.  And it's not like Payne was doing anything  positive out there.  McConnell was a huge difference maker the first 5 mins of the 4Q.

Am I the only one who thinks Kolek could have given the Knicks a lot better 9 minutes of basketball than Payne did.

The stat I quoted should have included a lead of 14 points or more. I've corrected my post.

Towns was -20 out there. Complete liability on defense.

No.  Payne was an abomination.

I get that but he's their 2nd best offensive player and Robinson started to get gassed.  I think you have to play him the final 6 mins.  They can't guard Indiana with him or without him.

You said you didn't get why he played 28 minutes. I told you why. Now you say you get it.

Then he has no business being 3rd team All-NBA if he's not good enough to be on the floor in the 4th Q of the ECF.

Apparently Jay Williams stated that "cancel culture" is the reason an American hasn't won the NBA MVP award in some time.  Are he and SAS trying to one up each other in idiotic statements?  Smh.
