NYK at IND: Game 6 Thread

[KillerLeft]

Brunson is having a tough go of it tonight. He has missed like 11 shots in a row, and seems to be forcing things on offense to me. 

Siakam looks GREAT. I'm so happy for him that he's in the perfect situation for him to flourish. I really wanted him in Dallas, but he probably fits better with Turner than he would've with Lively, if I'm being honest.

Everyone on IND is playing well. That Nembhard guy seems scared to shoot to me, passing up WIDE open looks.

Now Nembhard gets a tech with under a second left to go in the half. Not great, Bob.

IND closed the half with a 17-5 run. Lots of Siakam.

Loved Brunson when he was a Mav. Glad he’s been such a great fit in NY.

He’s very smart, very skilled. Makes his teammates better.

But he’s got some very real physical limitations. He’s small, and not a great athlete. So he struggles to defend a 6’6” scorer. Heaven forbid he gets switched onto a big in the paint.

120-84 FT disparity over the first five games. 13-7 today. Whatever it takes...

hahahaha, the patented Carlisle timeout, 38 seconds into the 3rd quarter!

Two defensive breakdowns. Enough to land a player in the doghouse for the rest of the game.

So far, IND has taken it to NY. Playing much harder.

Just love RC's offense. So much movement. Multiple actions on every single possession. Always forces the defense to move before the real action starts.

And he has the perfect PG to run it. 

Siakam has added a nice element, too. Gets used a LITTLE BIT like Dirk in Dallas. Lots of elbow/high post.

I know Myles Turner isn't the most consistent player in the world, but I really admire his game and think he's way underrated.

He turned into a legit 2nd/3rd scoring option after RC arrived. Just needed a pick and roll/pop heavy system to shine.

Siakam's midrange game is higher level than the world knows.

[KillerLeft]

Man, they are smothering Brunson.

Haliburton!!!

Haliburton has it on lock tonight. What a fun player. to watch!

Hey, I have a great idea. How about the other two remaining series go to game 7's, whereas the Mavs take care of freaking business tomorrow night? That'd be wonderful.

Nesmith has the PJ Tucker build. Massive frame with good lateral quickness. Nightmare matchup for players that like to push off.

That's the dream!
