Why not? Better than nothing

Teams beating up Brunson all the time

Come on man OG (Mr Butterfingers) bobbled the initial pass for an easy dunk —- no way we were getting that call especially after Siakim make clean initial block and OG fell to the floor like 5 year old girl.

.
Why did Brunson even pass it? You are up 5 with the clock on your side. Just hold the ball and make them foul you. I dont know why he gave him the ball

But there is arm contact and leg contact and he holds the jersey. To not hold up the foul or at least call a loose ball foul is crazy

Most improbable come back in sports history.

Just have to put it behind us, but that is one of the worst memories of my lifetime already.

If we end up winning the series.. it will be forgiven. We saw history tonight..(most improbable comeback win in nba playoffs..ever) in the worst way imaginable..as Knicks fans.

Hart sucked tonight. Yes he got 13 rebounds but his shooting sucked tonight and his perimeter defense against the pacers is a liability. Mitch needs to play more. Play Deuce more with Brunson.


The endless barrage of 3’s at the end of the 4th qtr a lot of those were shot against Hart. His lack of length and lateral quickness got exposed

Great memorable game. Should serve as inspiration for not taking Indy for granted.

This doesn't sting as much as I thought it would. But I am a bit down on Hart. Losing Nesmith. Stumbling all over the place and missed coverage. Same with Bridges.

Pippen and MJ were attack dogs on defense. Can't say the same of our perimeter guys. Except OG. Bridges and Hart don't put fear into opponents that if they're close, the best thing is to give up the ball.

Knicks led by 14 with 2:45 to play in 4th quarter and now are in OT vs Pacers. Teams leading playoff game by 14+ in final 2:45 of 4th quarter are 994-0 in play by play era (since 1997)

The inability to get the ball in bounds tonight, was staggering I know there tired, but they just let up plain and simple

I remember calling out Hali last year for his idiot choke t-shirt against a Knicks team that was devastated by injury and that IDIOT NALOD giving Hali every benefit of the doubt that the short wasn’t about Hali being a classless bum but some honorable tip of the cap to Reggie ( who is also a bum as captured on camera after this game). We know since the. Time again Hali is a punk as is his clown dad. Wondering if IDIOT NALOD will double down on his idiotic defense of this classless punk. And to be honest the victory and comeback were due to nesmith. Hali’s game tying shot had a lot of luck

Super frustrated but still think after we regroup we’ll be good. Naismith played at an unbelievable level. Last time it was nembhard. As I said key will be sticking to their man.

Refs missed some calls including the goal tending and allowed Brunson to be mugged again but personally I don’t expect a better game than that

Whenever my wife don’t like somebody, I yell “**** that bitch” even if I don’t know em. Pick a side, and **** dat bitch ass Hali. No tech for the ball interference to buy replay time? The 2min report on this one will be a Dostoevsky novel.

Btw. There was a play that looked like a goal tend by Myles Turner followed by a pacers 3. I kind of lost track on what happened there. It was a weird moment at the game. Anybody know what happened with that?

Brunson was keeping his head down as he was bringing up the ball(as he often does) and that can get a player into trouble. And it did. Didn’t see traps coming, and turned the ball over. Hopefully Brunson will do a better job of passing out of double teams in game 2.

Let's look at the bright side. It took an historic night, the biggest choke in nba history for the pacers to win.

Plus, the pacers are shooting an astonishing 40% for 3pts in these playoffs. They are bound to cool off someday. Next game is an absolute MUST win though. Got to break their confidence.

Just going drop this here then go back on my Knicks hiatus. We have a legit chance to get to the finals I would hate to throw this away. Reggie and the Pacers will make sure it hurts more. He also should say since January it has not been working.

I am still trying to process what I saw last night. We totally took our foot off the gas, but this is not the end. We need to beat the pacers by 20 next game and let them know this sh-t ain’t over. Knicks in 6.
Trust the Process

Well it looks like it time for Thibs to go...definitely out coached. I am sick of his goofy facial expressions during games...start coaching. He served his purpose but now we need a long term coach that can take us to the next level.

This is the kind of game that makes my soul hurt. I love my Knicks but after having to watch suck a monumental collapse, I ask myself “what the **** just happpened” and the answer is that they got outclassed. Need to make a statement win or might as well pack their bags to go home.

Everyone is focusing on Siakams arm reaching for the ball they could have easily maintained the foul by looking at his other arm pushing OG before that same hand started clutching. That push was prior

Another idiotic comment. The fact that a guy can play well does not negate the fact that he’s a classless bum

We did not lose because of Hali. We lost because Naismith went off and we did not adjust. Yet there’s Hali mugging it up for the cameras after a lucky shot. And if you continued to watch the broadcast you’ll later see Reggie Miller w a smug smile pointing at Hali in appreciation. Both a-holes
