2025 EASTERN CONFERENCE FINALS: #3 New York Knicks vs #4 Indiana Pacers (IND leads 2-1)

[xBulletproof]

Pacers just can't have periods where they play iso ball. That's what the Knicks got the Celtics to do.

The Nesmith injury changed the vibe, and the rotation to start the 4th. That didn't help either. Oh well, we saw all their changes, and will adjust. Same thing happened in the Cavs series. Cavs changes won them game 3, and the Pacers came equipped to attack it in game 4.

Knicks fans thank me later, if you make a comeback this game:

Adding $500 on Pacers -11.5 halftime line.

Thibs... adjusted?

Indy with a historic choke job. Yeah, losing Nesmith sucks, but you were up 20. This could be a momentum shift in the series.

Indy choked big time.

But historic? Teams have blown 20 point leads like 100+ times this season.

It’s okay for everything to not be historic. We don’t need to sensationalize everything.

[Capn'O]

Play Brunson less play Kat more without Brunson.. play Shamet and Wright more.

Wright or Deuce or both should be on the court for most of the game. No Payne.

Yes to Shamet.

No. They just didn't have Brunson on the court to stall the Knicks offense to make defending them easy and then abuse him on the other end for consistent high quality looks.

Need to build on this in game 4 or this will be all for naught, but hopefully that opened the flood gates.

Thibs needs to tell Brunson to stop hogging the ball he isn't on that level where you accept it. The offense stops completely whenever Brunson is on the court this series.

Gotta love people who haven't seen a knicks game before repeating what some idiot talking head said. Lemme guess, was it Shaq?

They doubt Brunson. They complain about his fouls. They make excuses for why we won.

[RookieStar]

I apologize to all IND fans.. i said i would stop watching when NY made a run... but i just couldnt tear away from that KAT offensive masterclass.... so i just watched...

[rockmanslim]

Ernie putting Brunson on blast right to his face, damn!

[Diop]

Haliburton played very timidly down the stretch.

the worst part for me was occasionally he passed to the wide open man but the pass was off, so they person had to reach for it which made it to slow to get a shot off. passing for an open 3 point shot is fine, but when the guy just has to put the ball on the floor and create themselves it might as well stay with Hali

[xxSnEaKyPxx]

Thibs... adjusted?

Our coaches switched places.

Thibs adjusted and Carlisle thought it would be a good idea to let TJ McConnell play hero ball for like 7 straight minutes.

Yes to Shamet.

At this point, are you guys starting to trust Thibs to make the necessary adjustments when we're forced into them? Or is it still just me

Barkley saying it like it is. Brunson is a problem for the Knicks. Needs to stop pounding the ball.

When he sits they play better defense and actually move the ball.
They don't run an offense when he is in the game.

Brunson has a little Luka/Harden in him if we’re being honest. He’s just less of a playmaker/passer then them

team is too talented to just watch iso ball. It feels like im watching the Celtics when Tatum wants to be Kobe instead of kicking it to the open man.

[ChumboChappati]

Hali & Nembhard looked scared to take shots towards the end...hesitated to take shots on decent looks and Myles Turner ended up taking some bad shots due to this

yes they both had some great looks but does not want to shoot; they probably wanted Siakam to take those shots but Knicks were playing him too close

a thing i noticed is that the Pacers drive and kick got to obvious. They only had to half pressure the ring as they knew the guards were going to kick it back out. some of their guards have to finish.

Why must he wait until he's forced

Ib for coach!

The dagger Brunson buries to win game 4 will be utterly heartbreaking

KAT won this game.

I bet Shamet and Wright are DNP-Coach’s decision in game 4
