Oddball w/ Amin Elhassan & Izzy Gutierrez ·

2025/05/22

In a thrilling game one, Tyrese Haliburton hit Reggie Miller's choke celebration and the Pacers beat the Knicks. Jalen Brunson and Josh Hart were not the best versions of themselves. Aaron Nesmith played great, making a bunch of threes with such high stakes, but let’s not pretend he was defended well by OG Anunoby. The Knicks are known to give up threes, while Boston couldn’t capitalize, Indiana did. Game 2 is a must-win for the Knicks. Plus, Larry David cam for the Pacers' fourth quarter comeback

Hate 'em or love 'em, the Knicks are good, and that's good for the NBA. Haliburton is going to give Brunson a lot of work and the depth of the Pacers bench and scoring in bunches will hurt the Knicks.

Will Donovan Mitchell and the rest of the Cleveland Cavaliers ever make it past the second round, or are they too soft?
