I think connected to that is rebounding because the Pacers aren't necessarily the greatest rebounding team. They don't commit to the offensive glass. They're not because they want to get back in transition and deal with their defensive. You know, generally they want to get back. It's like, OK.

The Knicks can really take advantage of that with Mitchell Robinson and Carl Anthony Towns, who I think their rebounding is going to be really, really big in this series, especially Mitchell Robinson. And so it's like, how quickly do we go to hack a Mitch? How quickly do the Pacers go to hack a Mitch? Because that might be the key here from the Knicks side of things.

It's like, hey, we are going to generate so many more opportunities for ourselves because we're constantly crashing the offensive glass.

Yeah. I mean, you think of the guys that they have off the bench, OB Toppin, TJ McConnell, Ben Mather, right? And that they could go, but they also have like a separate identity to them. Like McConnell is an offense to himself. Like he just changes the way that the Pacers play when he comes on the floor.

And the way that Toppin can run these like small ball five lineups for them with Siakam and it's just run and gun and like it's a joy to watch, first and foremost. But it adds a level that I don't think New York has on their bench. Yes, they can go to Deuce McBride. Yes, they can go bigger with Mitchell Robinson. But outside of that, it's like, all right, if.

Mikael Bridges is having an off night offensively, or OG Ananobi is having an off night offensively, and they're not hitting their shots. Who are we going to? Like, what are we going to – and we saw that in both the Boston series and the Pistons series, where it was like certain nights when those guys were – two of 15 instead of 10 of 20, that's basically curtains for you.

You're not, because you know what you're getting out of Brunson. You know where you're getting out of cat for the most part, that supplementary group has to show up. They have to. And one of the comebacks out of Dave, I'm sure you remember this game two versus Boston. So Nick's were down. but it was within distance. It was within reach here, but McHale hadn't given them anything.

Zero points, right? And in the fourth quarter, McHale Bridges rounded up 13 points all in that quarter. And that's why they won that game. That's why they willed themselves back. His shot making, his ability to put pressure on the defense outside of the Brunson cat things that they run is going to be huge in this series because Indiana just has more things that they can go to.
