GT: ECF: GAME 2 @Knicks vs Pacers: Fri: 5/23/25: TNT; 8pm

[Context]

LFGGGGGGG
I am more confident now than before. This team will be razor sharp focus. I expect them to come out and execute. Dont be surprised if they stomp the pacers out in back to back games.

We are winning this f’n series.
F**k the pacers

I dont expect to see what I really want because the nba is enjoying these Knicks ratings but it would be nice to see our Knicks
make statement sweep from game 2-5- Just based on that choke symbol.
I do agree though- I expect the Knicks to run 2 games off and know theyre capable of running 4 against this team.

Knicks in 6

Knicks in 6

ending it on their floor after this would be crazy.

i want the garden faithful to send their heroes to the finals in 5.

[Strick]

Come out and bust their ass. Prove that they needed EVERY little thing to to their way to get a win

We cannot come out with that same strategy defensively.

More Mitch and/or Deuce mixed in with the starters. That starting 5 has put us in some really tough spots in the playoffs so far

[Garbagelo]

If the Garden isn't up for booing Hali and Nesmith every time they touch the ball next game, these fans should be banned for life

what they booing nesmith for? all he did was his job. we didn't respect him on the floor and paid for it.

also, haliburton lives for that ****. boos would be like a +1 for that man.

[RHODEY]

Calm before the storm, its only 1 game, we tie this up tomorrow and we will take game 3 and flip the series. The team knows what went wrong down the stretch its not rocket science we rushed possessions, 2:30 left in the game there should have been NOMORE then 12 possessions even if they were jacking up 3 after 3, you take the clock down to 2-3 second left each time. Lesson learned, they did to us what we did to Boston, I also don't expect them to shoot 73% from the field in the first and only be up 1-2 points. We got this series, that choking gesture, too soon big dawg, that **** lights a fire under a team, they are humiliated and will respond. Now lets go get a god damn snack

Yeah this was a wake up call to shore up one of our main weaknesses....attention to DETAIL.

Lets still go for that gentleman's sweep!

[Iron Mantis]

Give Precious about 12 minutes per game and shamet a few minutes.

Pacers are using fatigue as an equalizer to give them an advantage.

this was BLATANTLY obvious game 1, they shot 72% from the field in the first and we were still up 2, I promise you if the Knicks play the way they did for 46 min of Game 1 they don't lose another game this series, there will be 1 game these next 4 that is a low scoring game though. Eyes on the prize, this MF shot his load way to soon w that choking nonsense, Don't poke the bear

[sol537]

It will be interesting to see how these Knicks to respond to not one but two Haliburton choke signs on their home court.

I'm of the belief that this team has a lot of pride and won't let that stand... but, we'll see =)

[Adelheid]

[HEZI]

Yes yes and yes....

Playing 7 guys if we aren't able to slow down the pace is asinine.

No, before anyone says "oh so Precious is the answer now? lol" , that's not what I'm saying. We are up against a team that plays at a break neck pace and has 11 bodies rotating in and out. Trying to run 7 men against that isn't sustainable. Tom needs to lean into Shamet, Precious, and I'll say even Wright to help out instead of running OG and Mikal to death and then calling them scrubs when they make mistakes or lose situational awareness when they're running on fumes.

You think Indiana plays 11 starter caliber players? They don't.

[dakomish23]

Mikal was

6-12 in the 1st half
2-4 in the 2nd half
0-0 in OT

We must must MUST include him the entire time. Ppl always say "Oh they should be more aggressive" and yes that's true to an extent. But you can also do more to involve him throughout.
