And the Pacers are an incredible shot-making team from everywhere on the floor. And I'm absolutely terrified of them getting a game-tying three, even at home. Number I'm not saying I love the decision, but I understood and didn't mind it. Number two, part of the criticism I had of Dagnall was the second foul up three with like 10 seconds left.

Jokic was stuck on the bench with no way to get back into the game. That was my primary beef with that one. I understood it. I don't I don't love fouling up three that I mean, I was surprised the Pacers didn't foul up three late in the game. It almost cost them. But anyway, OK. I guess we got to talk about game two because the series is still going on.

What are you going to look for in game two other than have the Knicks come out? Is there any adjustments? Is there anything you have in mind?

78 combined points for those two guys. 78 combined points.

Yeah, both teams, I mean, it was an offense, the offensive ratings are off the charts. These are two teams whose offenses are better than their defenses. And for the first time, really in the whole playoffs, almost the Knicks offense looked pretty comfortable against the Pacers defense. I thought both teams, hunted there was it was almost like a mirror image kind of series where you know

Each offense is going to hunt the opposing point guard fairly relentlessly. The Knicks hunting Halliburton. The Pacers hunting Brunson. Actually, I think the Knicks could probably hunt Halliburton a little bit.

So here are some numbers according to the tracking data. Halliburton was defending the screener on the pick and roll nine times and defending the ball handler on a pick and roll only five times. Now they obviously have him hiding on Hart and Bridges, and which of those he's hiding on is critical. It was more towards Hart at the end of the game.

which prevents Miles Turner from guarding Hart, which is an adjustment I keep waiting on for one of them to crack on who's guarding center, but we'll get there. So that's 14 combined pick and rolls defended. I actually think that that undersells the degree to which the Knicks went at Halliburton.
