I don’t think the rest of the US understands what a Pacers Title would mean to Indiana The entire state is obsessed with the game, has one of the most storied histories of HS & college basketball, & has 10/12 of the biggest HS courts in the country (including all of the top 5).

Stay the course and trust the work.

This is why mainstream sports shows are so garbage now. Does Westbrook have his flaws as a player? Yes. But this is an extremely lazy narrative that lacks a ton of context.

Scott Bessent is full of it. This is not how Trump planned it. He is trying to salvage a plan gone horribly bad. Trump has not created any leverage either. If anything, he has exposed to the world how vulnerable the U.S. is to a trade war. So he's undercut his perceived leverage.

Westbrook finding ways to be effective without the ball on offense is something basketball heads need to appreciate compared to his prior seasons.

21-0 run is crazy

Barring a historic run, the Knicks could easily be down 2-0 in this series. Having these bad stretches frequently within these games is an alarming problem.

Milwaukee is a poorly constructed team. Point blank.

Milwaukee clearly uses the 2-3 Zone to slow down paint touches. Lack of versatility between the guards and wings is what the difference is from a skillset standpoint. Pacers need to make sure it’s a point of emphasis going into G3 to not settle during those stretches.

It is absolutely rocking in Detroit

The Knicks have to put 4 complete quarters or they will be bounced before we know it. KAT played well, OG played well, but playing 2-3 good quarters is not championship contending team performance.

Update: Alijah Arenas is now out of his induced coma and making progress in recovery while being intubated following a car crash Thursday. Statement from the family:

That is a killer 2-3 zone beater coming out of a timeout by Rick.

Cutting Kuzma’s and Prince’s minutes paid dividends. Milwaukee was bound for a good shooting performance, but Indy definitely needs a better performance from the guards. The team goes when they go.

That’s a great system for Shedeur to learn under.
