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

[Nuntius]

You keep tooting that scrubs horn big dawg, he had his moment with that game 1 nonsense, nothing more the rest of the series

Wow, what a well thought out post to add to the discussion. You're such an obnoxious .

Cry about it, pacers suck

Just as I said before the series begun when you thought that you were going to dogwalk us in 4 or 5, I would advise some caution there

It's not often we are gonna shoot 5-25 from 3, a lot were wide open or very good looks.

It's not often KAT is gonna score 20 in the 4th quarter.

It's not very often the entire team is only gonna score 20 in the 4th quarter.

We only lost 9 games all season we had a 10 point lead.

This is the 1st game the Pacers lost ALL SEASON with any kind of lead starting the 4th. (I was surprised by that stat)

there are always so many variables. It’s not often Brunson and Bridges will combine to shoot 12 for 36 from the floor either (with Brunson finishing the game with just 1 assist). Or that Towns will only have 4 points entering the 4th quarter. Each game is unique to itself. Each game is going to feature things that don’t “often” happen. We’ll see what happens in game 4.

Yes sir, you are correct. I was just pointing out anomalies from the Pacer perspective. Things we don't normally do or let happen to us.

Thanks for a civil discussion. All this you suck, no you suck more, is for the insecure and very weak minded.

Good luck, well maybe good luck next season.

You guys think Indi or NY have a better shot vs OKC (or minny) and why?

Either team is going to be extremely large underdogs to OKC. I hope we get there, even if we get smoked. I think we would have a little bit better odds than NY, just because of depth, coaching.

Maybe Minny can pull a big upset. I like Knicks or Pacers changes against Minny. We beat Minny both times. It's a little more relevant than some regular season matchups. We played Minny twice late in the season when they were on a hot steak. Without looking it up they only lost like 5 games down the stretch and 2 of them were the Pacers.

Why do people feel the need to get so scientific with the word choke? Who cares? Both teams blew leads they shouldn't have in Games 1 and 3, debating the term we use to describe that is kind of silly.

I just have fun with certain fans that can’t help frame something as a Knicks failure when the same thing suddenly becomes no big deal from any Knicks opponent.

[cgf]

Wouldn't it be great if this series goes 7 games and none of the home teams win a single game? Let's make history happen!!! lol

No, it would not

There's nothing scientific about it. The word, like every other word we use, has a definition & proper use.


The term "choke" is frequently used in sports, particularly in high-pressure situations like the end of a game, a final round, or a clutch moment. It describes a player or team who, despite being in a good position to win, suddenly falters and fails to deliver.

Choking in sports describes an instance where an individual or team has a large lead that they squander in the late stages of the event.



Not sure why folks are so desperate to apply a term to an inapplicable situation. It's ok, Knicks fans. Eventhough Indy didn't choke, they did lose. You overcame an early 20 point deficit and won the game with a decisive 2nd half performance. Be happy & move on.

.

Good to know that people have so little faith in the pacers that a 20+ point lead is not considered a good position to win. The Knicks ability to comeback is pretty terrifying.

[cgf]

I agree with chuck that thibs lucked out on the rotations due to foul trouble. No need to coach if the situation forces you to play guys Can Thibs solve the rotation issue before Indiana gets a 3-1 lead.

Is admitting you were wrong about Thibs really so hard?

No, it would not

That would definitely be miserable for fans of either team

[Himothy Duncan]

Revisiting this again because guess what? NY won the game. Womp womp.

If you lose the first two games at home you’re a fraud. It is what it is. In the conference finals, teams that lost their first two home games have a 0-11 record.

so what happens when you lose games 3-4 at home after winning 1-2 on the road in the CF? does that make said team a fraud? asking for a friend...

Yes, they’re both frauds and neither team will win the championship.

Both team's ability to come back is terrifying. We both know that 20-point leads are not safe in this series and that, no matter what happens in the first 3 quarters, the game will be within striking distance in the final minutes.

Thunder - pacers better shot
Minny - Knicks better shot

Maybe the Knicks in Six prediction is not looking good but Game 4 indeed will be the crucial one this series. Knicks ‘dogs by 2.0 points tomorrow.

Seriously, are you 12? No more interactions with you. Teams win teams lose, you'll always be a loser.

You gathered all that through the internet? U mad bro? Pacers choking this series after getting a GIFT in NY

You're going to get dog walked don't worry, front running joke roster, haliburton is trash, turner is trash, Carlisle is trash, Reggie sucks at commentating like he sucked at basketball, Indy 500 also sucks

You make so many great arguments that it makes impossible to give any counter argument. You should be a coach. You can read the game like a genius, lol.

Bet you all OKC wins this game

I know that we have all seen unbelievable things happen in this year's playoffs but if OKC manages to win a game in a series that they aren't even competing in, well, that would be a shocker
