Depth matters. The pacers are a much much deeper team. Ben Sheppard is the 10th man and he made plays tonight.

Both games were determined by 5 points or less. I’m not sure if depth is really making a difference when each game is coming down to the wire.

Lol. Of course it is. Why do you think Josh hart allowed a str8 back cut for a lay up? Or Brunson airballed his last 3 in game 1? Or KAT was short on his last 3? Or the knicks had no gas in OT? They are GASSED.

If the Knicks were truly gassed, why didn’t Indy blow them out in OT? By your logic, the Knicks should have won if they were rested and depth wouldn’t have saved the Pacers.

The knicks scored the 1st 4 in OT and then went dry...because they were gassed. The knicks are never rested. Thats the point. The pacers played 11 (ELEVEN!) dudes tonight. This is clear as day. Don't take my word for it. Google some stathead analysis.

The Knicks scored 10 in OT, and the Pacers scored 13. Most teams are gassed during the playoffs. You either win, or you lose. This doesn’t excuse the Knicks from their defensive mistakes and not stepping up during the big moments.
