2025 EASTERN CONFERENCE FINALS: #3 New York Knicks vs #4 Indiana Pacers (IND leads 1-0)

[___Rand___]

This series is going to be hilarious because the league clearly doesnt want either team in the finals

you kidding me? League wold LOVE Knicks in the Finals. Silver would put that as his crowning glory if Knicks make the Finals. Ratings bonanza.

RealGM tried to gaslight me into believing Aaron Nesmith and Andrew Nembhard would stop our guards.

Jalen Brunson - 18 points on 6/11 shooting

Mikal Bridges - 12 points on 6/12 shooting

Is 12 points on 12 shots a good thing?

50% shooting. The guy doesn’t get to the FT line

Meh so it’s good defense. Like yeah 50% shooting for a wing is typically good, but that’s with the assumption that he’s hitting 3s or FTs…if he’s not, then that’s actually inefficient offense and I’m pretty sure the Pacers will take that.

Idk just a weird thing to brag about. Brunson I agree is a really good player and I don’t think it was realistic to actually think he could be stopped.

1. NBA doesn't fix series. If you think it does, you shouldn't follow the NBA.
2. The Knicks are just about the only eastern club that can avoid a total ratings disaster with OKC/MIN representing the west.

lol nah..

Brunson and Haliburton are bringing it.

great to watch

[2weekswithpay]

Towns needs to defend better. You want to force Haliburton left, but you can't get turned around like that.

Mikal has flat out helped us win games in the playoffs because of that middy work and cuts to the basket. Don’t think any team is okay with a wing hitting 50% of their shots.

This reffing

[GiannisAnte34]

Home cooking for the Knicks. Getting some touch fouls in their favor

1. Never said they did. You shouldnt tell people what they should or shouldnt be doing.

NBA would love the Knicks in the finals.

Anyone that likes Brunson but would hate on Shai for being a foul merchant would be the biggest hypocrite lol. Doesn’t mean you can’t like the guy regardless, but the man is a flopper and shameful foul merchant lol.

I find Brunson's flopping a lot more annoying than Shai's, I mean he gets a helluva lot of calls but I don't think he blatantly fishes for calls like JB.

I think a solution can be that a player can only have/take ten free throws a game Max, and after that if he is fouled driving to the hoop, another player
Has to take the free throws.

Also what's the current F/T disparity in this game? Seems like the Knicks have taken a helluva lot more

[The4thHorseman]

Reggie bias as **** calling for an offensive foul on Towns

[Handlez]

Towns game is not easy on the eyes.

Tumbling rumbling fumbling around.

[GiannisAnte34]

Brunson trying the head whip again

[rickxdel]

BS fould on Brunson, Thibs needs to take him out before the refs target him again

[___Rand___]

For Pacers, I'd hunt Brunson the rest of the quarter. That's their best chance of stealing this game - to get Brunson fouled out.

[knicksfan974]

Weak call on Brunson

[Bad Bart]

Man those New Balance shoes are UGLY!

New Balance Two Wxy V5's, great basketball shoes but defo ugly as sin in those Pacer colors
