The former NBA All-Star says that this big mistake sank the Knicks

The New York Knicks are far from an ideal place. They are currently falling 0-2 in the Eastern Conference final on the coarse -grained, depths and hard Indiana Pacers.

The Knicks have given their best effort so far; However, it was not good enough to achieve a win. You have the chance to do this on Sunday for game 3, but you have to do this for a loud Pacers audience on the street.

There are many reasons why the Knicks are in this series below, but if you ask the former NBA all star Jeff Teague, he has too often set the ball in offensive possessions to the Knicks star Jalen Brunson.

In his latest Podcast episode Teague, Teague offered an open view of the performance of the Knicks in the series and pointed out that Brunson's tendency to dominate the ball more harm than benefits for New York offensive.

“You know how the Knicks lose these games.” So he holds the ball.

“You don't get a rhythm. Therefore, when he comes out of the game, the pace suddenly picks up the pace. Suddenly you see that people do a little. He holds the ball for so long.”

Teague is not far away. In the series, Brunson's share of use is 40.1 percent in two games in the conference final.

While his numbers are excellent, they do not lead to win. In the series, Brunson achieved an average of 39.5 points per game, 8.0 assists and 2.0 rebounds, while shooting 53.8 percent of the field and 33.3 percent compared to three.

While Brunson is the best player and the most clutch of the Knicks, the crime was not up to date, especially against a relentless defense of Pacers. In order for the Knick's offensive possibilities, you must be able to move the ball and become unpredictable.

The defense of the Pacers is too good for Brunson to go just ISO and hope for a made bucket, especially during a 48-minute competition. The differences between the two stars in this series and their use are strong.

The Tyrese -Haliburton of Pacers is only 26.2 percent in this category. In the meantime, Haliburton is an average of 22.5 points per game, 11.0 assists, 6.0 rebounds and 1.5 steals, while he shoots 43.6 percent from the field and 31.8 percent compared to three.

The Knicks have the opportunity to react on Sunday, and it remains to be seen whether they will make the necessary offensive adjustments to turn the flood in your favor.
