they wont roll over and die but the question is will they finally keep their foot on their necks for several games. I thought they were there.
I thought that game 6 got them there. I'm pissed Strick not gonna lie!

Still expecting us to beat them. We are significantly more talented than them.

Nearly threw the ball away twice. Also made that dumbass pass to OG under the basket (the Siakam foul that got overturned) when he should have burned more clock.


He’s often too occupied with stumbling & bumbling hunting fouls than making the right basketball play.

He has a gaudy stat line but played sloppy undisciplined basketball.


He looked drunk with exhaustion the last 5 minutes of the game and then during OT.

We did spectacularly well with Deuce while Brunson sat. I think a coach with a spine would have sat Brunson seeing how he was basically turning over the ball on most possessions.

There are nights when you have to bench even your best player if they are acting like a stroke victim.

Literally we as fans have to demand that Reggie not announce anymore Knicks game at MSG. Yeah he can announce them somewhere else but it’s been what 30 years. He should be persona non grata up there with Oakley. He wants to come to a give sit with the fan in the stands.

Watch how the pace of the game changes once Jalen isn't on the court.

By the way couldn’t Thibs have (if we had one) contested the Nesmith intentional foul if he was out of bounds?

Not sure but if that is right — another, ANOTHER moment of abject incompetence lol

You challenge the foul and they see his back foot is out

Game over

But he has to challenge the JB offensive earlier

Pacers took their heart tonight.

Knicks played scared.

This is not last year’s Pacers team where they only beat us because of injuries. They’re legit good and mentally tough.

We reverted back to our very worst habits and instincts this game, and Indiana just wore them out and made them expend so much energy doing it.

Thinking back to the various sequences they really got lucky making all those circus shots and then Knicks missing their free throws

After all that it goes to OT and Brunson gets goal tended which would have put the Knicks up 6. Instead it's not called and they hit a 3 to cut it to 1.

Just brutal stuff man. If Knicks end up losing in 6 or 7 you have to think back to this game as setting the tone. Knicks win by 10+ like they should have and it feels like Knicks in 6.

I will say I expected a split at home to start the series, still possible. And we're going to see who the real ones are.

Not if Thibodeau allows Jalen to over-dribble on every possession.

I’m not scared of the Pacers……I’m scared of Thibs and our Knicks players giving away this series away like we gave this game.

Carlisle out coached Thibs in every possible way you can imagine.

Going to scream this until I’m blue in the face. Josh Hart should not be in the game over Mitch in these situations

We were out of challenges after losing a challenge earlier in the game

Indy out-challenged us significantly tonight and that probably won them the game
