The Knicks have done well to get 2 games against the Pacers tbh.
The Pacers are tough and nobody wants to give them any credit. But they have beaten top teams all year long.
I agree that the Pacers are a tough team, but I don't feel they are at the point of making runs to the ECF. They are still extremely young (but talented and durable). The issue with the Knicks is that they are an absolute corpse of a team right now. The only players that aren't injured and out/ playing through the injury are 4 out of the 11 potential rotation players. Any team will fall apart if that's the case. The Pacers got lucky in this playoff, which will quickly and abruptly end once they face the Celtics.
I knew come playoff time pacers were going go play well. Pacers didn't have issues against good teams but they did against mediocre teams. As long as they didn't have celtics in semi-finals I knew they had a chance at ECF. Everybody talks about injuries but if pacers had mathurin. They would be hard to beat in a 7 game series for anyone.
Knicks needed to win game 3 that was their chance without OG. It’ll suck looking back at that nembhard shot ending the season
Pacers are a good team. Julius Randle, - Allstar, Mitchell Robinson - pre ankle injury, one of the best offensive rebounders in the league, serious shot blocker and cleaning up around the rim. OG - the 2nd most important player on the team - minus Julius - defensive problem for every team. Bojan Bogdanovic - rotation sniper. Brunson - hurt. The Knicks had a tremendous year, in spite of all of the above. Great group, great character, however this series ends, this season was a success. Thibs has no choice point, has to play who is available and capable.
The Knicks probably have to sign Klay Thomson in the off season but that may not move the needle this is supposed to be the year to make the ecf
Why sign Klay? You really think he wants to come to NY and play defense at this stage of his career?
@@Frankieefootballmundial that is an atrocious take
@@SkyShoe22212 if they don’t make the ecf this year then the Knicks prime was wasted
@@Frankieefootballmundial Lmao,how is it wasted? You act like they wanted their whole front court to get injured. Nobody was even expecting the Knicks to be where they are now. They are playing with house money and Jalen Brunson is only 27 years old. Their oldest players that will be on the team next season is Julius Randle and Josh Hart if they don't keep Bogi. They probably have at least another good 3-4 years left in them. How are they exactly wasting player prime years when Brunson is surrounded by players like Donte, Og , Mitchell Robinson and even Duece? Prime years are wasted when you don't put good players around your star players. Very interesting opinion but I respect it 🤣🤣🤣
Thank you Mike Breen for play by play announcing the Pacers vs Knicks game when Nemhard literally hits that step back 3.
I’m sick of people blaming Thibs. They make millions of dollars to play every game as much and as hard as they can. To play for the team. He is not the problem. Players play. Or stop playing because they tweaked something. Middle school kids care more than some of these pros but y’all blame the coach for soft individuals and weak mindsets. They are professionals. Stop blaming the coach
@fatz5188 when you say Thibs needs to “learn how to use his bench” what are you talking about? Who? The team is missing its starting SF, PF, and Center. The guys playing those starting minutes are bench players. Two more bench players - center Robinson and SF Bogdonavich got injured in the last round and are out of the playoffs.
Beyond garbage time in blowouts, name one other coach in the NBA playoffs that is playing more than 10 players in their rotation., example, the Celtics play 8 guys in tight games
The Knicks just don’t have enough with all the injuries. They’re asking Donte and Hart to be #2 and #3 scorers and they just aren’t those guys.
I’d say Donte is but they are just exhausted
I hate that narrative that Nembhard "hit that shot"
Do you guys remember there was 10 seconds left when Brunson launched that 0% chance of a heave?
Knicks had time and your superstar folded on trying to get a ref call?
Knicks with all their injured players available would be a good bet to go head to head with the Celtics in the Finals with their rebounding and defense. The Pacers can beat that team but the probability that will happen will be smaller. Injury sucks, but it is part of the game and can happen to any team.
Easy to suddenly gain confidence when u see the other teams top guy limping around
Seriously Pacers fanbase needs to take a step back. They are beating two teams that got fucked up by the injury bug. I get its the playoffs everyone deals with injuries, but the Pacers are almost fully healthy and they are playing a knicks squad that has 4 out of the 11 rotation players fully healthy. Brunson, Burks and IHart are all dealing with some level of injury.
@@SkyShoe22212bucks fans argument not valid. Because pacers was 4-1 against the bucks during regular season. I think people just ignore the fact that the pacers were number 1 in offense for majority of season until haliburton got hurt. They beat the bucks and celtics during the in season tournament so really people should've paid attention then.
@SkyShoe22212 Pacers and their fanbase have reason to be excited as the path to the ECF may have just gotten slightly clearer for them to see but if I were them I wouldn't be celebrating just yet
Pacers are deep, that's why they stay healthy. But people who know ball don't need to have that explained to people.
Knicks are shorthanded and are still competing at a high level. Go Pacers!
They were bound to have a blunder game…they will be fine
Sucks that regardless win or lose next game, the knicks will be shorthanded for the foreseeable future. OG is significant loss to our defense especially his size, and Mitchell Robinson too w the boards. Two defensive stouts + Julius Randle obviously hurt. Those 3 in what they provide in their own dynamic is the knicks defense. its a huge reason why we have made it this far. Disappointing way to end the season In addition, we needed that game 3 W desperately.
Seriously, it is disappointing. What makes me mad tho is that a ton of Pacer fans are cheering as if their team is actually better than the knicks (or even the Bucks). I respect the team, but they arent at a point where they can compete deep in the playoffs yet.
Pacers cant take anything for granted. Don't want to hear about injuries if Knicks or their fans want to use it as a ego protecting tool in case they lose the series that's fine. For the Pacers they know all the players in the league are good and backups are professionals too. They can only focus on their mission and play the team in front of them. No way the Pacers are gonna fall for the mind game of thinking their cruising to victory because of Knicks injuries. This Knick team was rolling even without all those guys. And props to the Knicks for that.
Just saw this in my feed after the gassed Knicks came back and blew pacers out in game 5. NBA playoffs.
Pacers gained confidence when OG got hurt just as they did when Dame and Giannis got hurt. Even the best teams need a little luck
Giannis was hurt long before that series started. Attributing confidence to injuries on the other team is laughable, that isn’t how it works. A team is either playing well with confidence or they aren’t. Who is playing on the opposing team has nothing to do with it.
@@mosin9349 The Pacer fanbase is jerking each other off because they are beating teams that caught the injury bug. The Bucks and the Knicks would destroy this team in a best-of-seven series.
Yeah Pacer fans shouldn't be celebrating for winning basketball games 😂 said no one ever.
Every team in NBA history that has had a championship run has faced teams with injuries. It happens every year. Fans should be ecstatic for winning especially since they havent done so in over a decade. Also, the Pacers beat a fully healthy Bucks 4 times this year prior to trading for Siakam... @@SkyShoe22212
@@SkyShoe22212 says who? Knicks fans?
A few different calls and we could have been looking at a pacers sweep. This whole narrative is goofy asf
Wait a minute. Score in Game 3 was tied when Nemhard hit the game-clinching three. So not at all guaranteed Knicks win if Andrew misses that shot. Likely we go into overtime, and Knicks are already fading in the fourth, which allowed Pacers to rally and put themselves in a position to win. In overtime, we can expect the extra five minutes to favor the fresher Pacers over the exhausted, depleted Knicks.
i think we can safely say the Pacers have no shot at game-5 whatsoever. there are reasons for this, mainly because they do disappearing acts just out of the blue regularly. on paper, they should beat the knicks due to injuries to New York.,,,, but this venue, MSG, is a house of horrors for the Pacers, coupled with the fact that they fold the tents when the pressure is on, take for example game 5 at Milwaukee where the Bucks were completely depleted at FISERV Forum, NO DAME, NO GIANNIS, and others gimpy. They laid the biggest egg ever witnessed at FISERV.... their (pacers) bench had like 6 points total (if even that), the entire team couldn't hit the back side of a barn. totally embarrassing. Couldn't hit 3's, couldn't hit 2's, couldn't do Diddly Squat..... Knicks will be 3-2 by 10:30pm tonight EDT Tuesday, May 14, 2024. It's an unfortunate situation for Pacers fans, but it's reality people. Mark my words, this post will age well.
It was really close to being 3-0 at the end of game 3. Indy did what they were supposed to do. They defended home court. Now it’s a series again.
It was also really close to the Pacers taking game 1 and making it currently 3-1. Either team could be in control of this series with just a couple breaks (or calls).
The Knicks had game 3 and blew it that was winnable would’ve ended in a sweep and maybe would’ve got og back for the ecf
@@Frankieefootballmundial If The Knicks had won the third game my analysis is expressed in one word:WHEW!!!😰😌Even with the Knick OG injury and they had won,losing game 4 i would have felt "OK there is game 5"....If the Knicks win or lose game 5......At this point a Knick Fan,Enthusiast,Bangwagoner right now OF COURSE should assessing the team.With what that team is doing this season will go as far in the playoffs their makeup takes them.......
Go Pacers
If the Knicks can outscore the Pacers by 1 point in game 5 they’ll be in the drivers seat again.
Knicks are cooked.
@@springheeledjack165 LOL good one, tell it again. Do you have time?
@@CaptainHowdy3They have a big time up hill battle. It’s going to be tough for them at this point.
@@CaptainHowdy3 Keep that same energy Tuesday.
@@springheeledjack165 🤣🤣🤣
Thibbs need to go big big to match the Pacers size and slow the game down! Hartenstien at PF and Prescous and Jericho at C!!! Josh and Donte can ease some pressure off of Brunson
People give the Pacers zero credit😂. They are a good team and can play with anyone. And at this point in the playoffs, any team can win.. Knicks fans need to be humble.
Hard to give credit when they're barely squeaking out wins against the two most depleted teams in the playoffs. Indy is a nice team, but they're run & gun Mike D'Antoni style of play never translates to the playoffs & if they can get passed a Knicks team that has 3 starters & their 6th man out, they'll most likely get swept by Boston. They lost a game to the Bucks that had Dame & Giannis out lol. Indy needs to do a lot of work to their roster & style of play if they want to actually compete with the teams at the top of the eastern conference.
@@fabo0913 Mike D'Antoni's offense was historically ISO ball. The Pacers are the complete opposite of ISO.
@@fabo0913they won by 40 lol
@fabo0913 you're being ridiculous🤣 let's be honest about those first two games, they were suspect at best. And yall still barely pulled it out. Game 3 yall got it at the buzzer.. And we seen what happened in game 4. I give a lot of credit to the knicks. They are a tough a@s team. But if the officials let the teams play. Well run yall out of the building. With all due respect. And you might want to double-check we were right there with you guys with all your players, plus we owned the Bucks this year. It is what it is.
@@YoungSimba preach 🙌
Mike left out the fact that the Knicks are depleted,not enough depth.And yes the narrative will be about Thibs but what’s he’s supposed to do…..🤷♂️
Watch out for a big game from Brunson in Game 5. Knicks in 6.
Thibs can't coach. Haven't appropriately used his bench all season. Burning out his starters is unacceptable. Ruined DRose career also. Smh.
Thibs ran the starters into the ground.
There isn’t a single media member (other than maybe McAfee, who’s an Indianapolis guy) that wants to say anything nice about the Pacers. Even if the Pacers win the series the narrative will be that the Knicks were too banged up and the Pacers caught some lucky breaks.
A fair assessment. No one wants to admit the lucky breaks went the Knicks way in the first two games.
what is their to say? They beat a bucks two without giannis and lillard an now they are beating up on a knicks team without OG and Mitch. Also, Randall being out doesnt help. oh and brunson is banged up.
Try being a Knicks fan.  toughen up
That's bc the pacers are like the bobcats
I’m just saying that no one wants to say the Pacers won because they were better and the Pacers don’t lose at home. The narrative is that the Kicks lost because they were injured. The Pacers don’t get enough respect for what they’ve accomplished this year.
Rich was talking with his chest out about how he doesn't care about the refs helping his team win, well, I guess it's harder to win without that help
Also let's quit talking about the Knicks.
Yes they lost but Pacers offense looks amazing and we were in both games 1&2 this has been a series. Pacers got a deadly team! Let's break down the plays that we had 4 of the 5 touch the ball. Let's discuss how the Pacers average 25+ assist as a team in the playoffs
How about we stop talking about the Pacers as if they are a competitive team??? You're celebrating wins against teams that are beyond limping at this point. The Pacers are going to get absolutely smoked by the Celtics.
@@SkyShoe22212 Nah the Knicks would get destroyed by their 2nd unit. Pacers are one of the only teams that has beat Celtics twice this season. We just keep playing hard and play team ball. We don't look at one person to carry a team. Brunson is talented but y'all going to make him the next Penny Hardaway with these minutes.
Thibbs is over playing his stars!!! Prescous won a game when Mitch was out! When Mitch came back he didnt see the court!!! Then Mitch gets hurt?
This is a result of 2 things… #1 the way they constructed this roster. Stop praising Leon Rose when he only put 1 shot creator on the whole roster, that tells you he doesn’t know how to construct a roster that makes sense. Shot creation is the #1 skillset for any Guard or Wing in today’s NBA Game. The game of Basketball requires initiators, always has & always will. You can’t have only 1 initiator on the whole roster that plays from the perimeter. That’s way too much on Brunson who is more of an SG in a PG’s body than a PG or playmaker. #2 Thibs is still Thibs! All those regular season games going 100mph & playing his starters 38-40 minutes is backfiring.
This is all on Thibbs. he recklessly runs his players into the ground until there is nothing left. I think this should be his last year. he is stubborn and won't change. his style will never win championships.
Better go back to the Phil Jackson and Pat Riley days and check out the minutes they used their starters first, before you say 'his style will never win championships'. And that was actually rough basketball they played
Saying things doesn’t make them true. Is he as reckless as you are with nonsense?
Robinson injured his ankle in the first half of the year. How is that in Thibs?
Randle got undercut going a layup and landed dislocating his shoulder. How is that on Thibs?
OG Anunoby injured his right elbow soon after being acquired from Toronto. How is that Thibs?
Bogdonavich, 30 seconds after checking into a game, has a player dive for a loose ball and rolls over his ankle. How is that Thibs?
These injuries could have happened to any player. We also can't ignore how well the Knicks organization carefully managed minutes bringing back Hartenstein from injury earlier this year. Hartenstein was capped at a hard 24 minutes for weeks during the season. The management of Hartenstein led to him playing huge during this playoff run
Would be tragic to lose to such a disgusting decrepid team. But when you've lost 5 players....
IT WAS TIED when Nembhard hit the three. Why is everyone saying it was over if he missed?
All the Pacers can do, is play the team put in front of them. Why are people hating on that?
Knicks are toast…. Now I’m gonna go make toast.
Pacers ain’t that great . It’s just unfortunate that the Knicks have so many injuries to key players
