Beautiful to have Philly behind us. Lowry can no longer rate as a nemesis. He is just another tough opponent who wins some and loses some.

I am worried that Indy will run us out the gym this series. Toppin unlocking him self against familiar foes could be the dagger that does us in.

Obi has become a bona fide weapon.

The key to the game was turnovers and points of turnovers in that they made few that we went to town on while we were sloppier with the ball but limited the damage that caused on the other end.

I am worried Rick will whip something up to fix that.

I am worried that the Novacore will be pressed to manage 90 points a game this series though that is what it might take to win this series.

I am worried that the Pacers will come out more ready and prepared on Wednesday and take the game.

These games are incredible.

I don't even know what to say about Brunson anymore.

Just spectacular.

Carlisle pretty rigid.

BTW....Toppin and McConnell have been playing great....

....but they're reserves, so you gotta take them out at crunch time?

Not complaining!

I am worried we are going to have a very hard time winning two of the next five with the guys we have available to play.

History says that role players have higher production at home than they do on the road in playoff series. I find that very worrying.

I feel like even depleted we have enough to take a game in Indy. I am worried we will not get our shit together sufficiently to pull it off.

Brunson needs to find his Paxton and Kerr of the triple team in closing moments. If he gets it back the he can put up the dagger himself. Live and learn.

Yeah, that's a good way of saying it.

Shame that the contributions of Burks(!) and Devo didn't result in a win.

Deuce is due.

Seems to work on Safari.

It's funny how the Game 4 blow-out was, eventually anyhow, a lot less painful than losing a close one.

Just one of those things.

Meanwhile, Game 5 approaches. The challenge of the year. 

Will Thibs adjust? Will the Knicks step up? Whatever happens, for Chrissakes, no wide up threes for Halliburton.

I am worried that frontcourt depth will be telling this game.
