(2) New York Knicks vs (6) Indiana Pacers - 2024 EC Second Round
- Thread starter InstaFace
- Start date
Knicks without OG are going to have a difficult time advancing and can’t really afford another injury with their bench being so horrific. It’s like they begin a series and can afford max one guy going down if they want to advance.
Yeah, this is horrible news for the Knicks. If he's out for the series, they NEED to win tonight, or they're in big trouble.
And if this a significant hammy, he could easily miss a month or more.
Yeah that didn’t look like something he’s back from in 4 days. How much can a shot help a hamstring in such a short period of time?
It's not really a pain tolerance thing.
Even if you could entirely mask the pain, a partially torn hamstring (sure looked like thats what happened) is going to:
1. be weak
2. have a high risk of tearing even worse if you try to play on it right away.
If they are very lucky and it's very low grade, maybe 1-2 weeks. But the way he reacted and could barely move, seems unlikely. If it's grade 2, even 3-4 weeks would be a very optimistic timeline.
is my irrational hatred of the knicks based on a sense that their overachieving is more annoying that admirable?
Precious is really not good. No wonder he doesn't play. Knicks are probably fucked without OG. Brunson obviously is the engine, but OG pulls it all together for them. But Halliburton looks so passive and Pacers are just so bad on D, who knows.
Tonight be one night of adrenaline for Brunson too.

Is Siakam drunk or gassed? Misses both FTs badly, fails to find Hartenstein or make a play for the rebound on the other end.
wasn't it divincenzo crashing from the corner? No one on Indy is boxing out but to be fair I don't think they even teach them to box out perimeter guys anymore
Yeah that’s who it was and Siakam was standing there looking for a body…..how about the one about to crash?
Barkley was right when he said the Pacers, up by 10 at the half, with Brunson iffy, had to win this game. Don't see them winning 4 of the next 5 which would have to include a game 6 or 7 in NY.
I think it goes 7…which is optimal for us. Knicks are on pure adrenaline tonight which won’t travel with them.
carlisle has to share some scorn for not using his players who aren't psyched out by knicks energy.
No, have to give credit to the Knicks at this point. They are far superior. 5 max.
Rick Carlisle great coach.
