2024 NBA Playoffs: East Semifinals: #2 New York Knicks vs #6 Indiana Pacers (IND WINS 4-3)

Not even mad. The Knicks literally are playing without 2 key starters, plus an additional 2 rotation players, Brunson’s foot is clearly bothering him. It’s a lot to ask a team to overcome. If they had only stolen Friday’s game.

I don’t have faith in them pulling out another win. Feeling very pessimistic about their chances going forward.

These blowouts really tarnish the playoff product.

Hate to say it for Knicks fans but this series could easily have been 3-1 Pacers if not a sweep by them. Hopefully it goes at least six. Just want as much playoff basketball as possible lmao

I mean pacers are a way more talented team than the Knicks so that would be a much better series than Josh hart and divencenzo pulling miracles out of their asses against the team with the best record all season.

I mean it was bound to happen with so many key players out, with the rest running on fumes.

No OG, no wins. He is the key piece for the Knicks success.

Pacers almost blew Game 3 as well. This series is close to being 3-1 Indiana or New York. Here's hoping these next 2-3 games are better than this afternoon.

It has to go 6 lol

But people are assuming the Pacers would’ve scored on that final play in Game 1 but are ignoring that Siakam should’ve fouled out of a tie game with his MMA hold on ihart in the Game 3. Instead the Pacers took a 2 pt lead when Ihart should’ve been at the ft line. Siakam also scored a few players later and played a role in the Pacers getting that late offensive rebound.

I get that you want to play the could’ve/should’ve game about game 1 but we can easily play that same game in game 3.

Since OG Anunoby joined the Knicks they are 25-5 with him playing and 14-16 without him

sucks that he has such bad luck with injuries

I was about to say, where's my dude, Jarace Walker.

Archerbro · Post #4516 » by **Archerbro** » Sun May 12, 2024 9:33 pm

yea i think if anyone watched game 3 on friday, i thought that was totally a heartbreaking loss. Series was over if they won that.

and Mike breen was right, both teams were going all out that night.

Got the highest scoring offence in the league for a reason lol. Y’all really think y’all can win w Brunson and 4 rotation players? :lol:

We in the playoffs mane.

It’s really simple for the Knicks; get healthier and they win the series. That’s not guaranteed though so yeah, the Pacers have a chance for the upset win.

Rick was crying and sending tapes to refs but now he’s being a B by calling useless timeouts on purpose

Who wins GAME 7 and goes to the ECFs?
