Pacers submit 78 calls...cite hostile environment

[KnicksGadfly]

‘This hostile environment created a chant with the F word against the greatest player in Pacers history.’

Damn I didn't hear anyone saying "Eff TJ McConnell." Is that why Rick benched him?

Feel bad for the Pacers here. Having to play in such a hostile environment clearly had an effect on their FT shooting, subpar D, subpar rebounding/hustle and lack of overall will to put the injured Knicks away.

Maybe we should play these games in a neutral setting. Maybe we can try Philly?

play in a "bubble" arena just like during the peak of COVID-19

[GONYK]

It's kind of funny that Carlisle's best players are basically telling him to stop crying

This is next level bitchassedness.

It's not like arenas are wildly different is size or seating capacity in smaller cities vs larger cities. They all hold about 20,000 fans, and if your team doesn't completely suck or the fan base isn't mostly apathic (Hi Atlanta!), then the stadium will be nearly full all season long, and certainly full in the playoffs.

WTF is this "hostile environment" nonsense? Having fans that care is hostile?

Next up: Chemotherapy Carrey will request that all NYC Knick fans be replaced with NY area Metropolitan Opera fans, so the crowd is more "polite" and "non hostile"

I thought Nick Nurse was a bitch but this Jim Carey prisoner of war ugly loser lookalike might be worse.

[Adelheid]

this is all just non-sensical, especially when you consider that all events take place on a sports and business environment

of course there will be lots of people coming in live to see the action; there can be imbalance in numbers in each side but what are you supposed to do about it? each side is supposed to show support to their respective teams by going in droves and not allow the other side to take over. Or is he subliminally asking the pacers ownership to give out free seats to pacers fans to level the playing field?

[adjacent2bench]

Man, the toughness our guys play with really brings out the bytch in these opponents huh?

2 years in a row now. First Cavs then 6ers now Indiana. Unbelievable.

[Fury]

The amount of gaslighting that's happening on twitter right now is absurd.

[Capn'O]

Wah wah the crowd was too mean. The Knicks play too hard. It's not fair unless we get 28 extra free throws like we did in 2013. I want my bottle. Somebody send a wahhhhmbulance.



For reference - Game 6 closeout from 2013:

There's only 48 minutes in a game bro.

[sol537]

Losers stay losing.

[YMMV]

Hostile? Man, Rick when did you turn into such a bitch? Wash that sand out your vagina.

Also, don't be bringing in that that douche Reggie in our house. His ugly ass isn't wanted in our building. One of the most hated NBA players per our franchise and what, you expect us to be nice to him? FOH you bitch. He is lucky we didn't pitch fork his ass out of there.

[Deeeez Knicks]

There's only 48 minutes in a game bro.

They wanted 150 free throws in an empty gym

[Spree2Houston]

There's only 48 minutes in a game bro.

Almost 2 missed calls every minute lol

[robillionaire]

Im just glad I personally had a hand in beating this team by their own admission

[EnigmatiC]

This is beyond pathetic

[nykfan42]

This is beyond pathetic. They deserve to be swept.

[gavran]

Man, the Knicks really should have tanked the end if the season, to avoid these soft-ass teams.

[god shammgod]

what does rick want them to do ? quiet down the crowd ? lol
