U can already see Thibs running his starters into the ground starting to backfire, OG hamstring tightness and Brunson foot soreness, you’d think he’d learn after awhile

OG Anunoby suffered an apparent leg injury while attempting a transition layup. He went back to the Knicks locker room.
Hope he’s alright🙏pic.twitter.com/OS4FL3hwO2

The end of this series is just gonna be Josh Hart vs. the Pacers like he’s Peter LaFleur in the end of Dodgeball.

The Knicks have 5.5 players and they’re out-hustling the Pacers on every single play.
