I don't think mentally it looked like the Pacers were playing, you know, the way they normally do. And they let the Knicks dominate the pace of that game completely. You know, Halliburton was like, oh, I didn't get downhill, you know, but I don't even know if... The Knicks were really giving too much space.

I mean, maybe they were, maybe they weren't. I just know that it felt at least, you know, in the arena that the Pacers weren't their usual pesky, speedy selves. I'm so used to seeing them flying around the court, you know, moving very, very fast. And that wasn't happening. TJ McConnell, who I love to point out, is really aggravating if you're playing against him. And that's to his credit.

That wasn't happening tonight. I think Aaron Neesmith's ankle might be a bit of an issue, you know, and cause him to slow down a little bit. Because, you know, every time you get on a plane, that ankle is going to swell a little bit. It just was not clicking for the Pacers at all. No matter, you know, what Rick Carlisle was trying to do as far as lineups. Jarris Walker was in the game.

In fact, when he hit his three pointer, I think the entire section next to me said, who is that at the exact same time? Yeah. To Rick Carlisle's credit, he was definitely trying anything and everything to kind of motivate these guys to pick up the pace, to be more aggressive. And it just wasn't happening. I mean, but again, credit to the Knicks.

You know what? I would say... First of all, it's been so much fun. The energy in both arenas has been incredible. The energy from both teams, with the exception, obviously, of the Pacers tonight has been incredible. It's been hard fought with like these games have been close.

you know obviously not counting tonight they've been close there's there's been a ton of it's like on the court you can tell right like everybody wants it but off the court in their post-game interviews they clearly respect one another 100 and that is I think what's making it even cooler is these guys are like hey that guy is amazing I gotta beat him we have to beat them

Especially, there's a lot of love between Jalen Brunson and Tyrese Halliburton that I think is just really dope to see, considering the trolling that happens on the court. It's been so much fun. I think this series is definitely going to be one that we're talking about next year. As far as it going seven, if you're the Pacers, you don't want that. That cannot happen. No.

I think they have to absolutely win at home. you know, game six, close it out because there's pressure on them now, right?
