What injuries? Ivey was out for QUITE some time, not like it happened during the series and they had to adjust, who was injured on Philly? These 2 teams healthy, the pacers do not stand a chance

Other teams being injured: what injuries?
last year knicks fans: If we had Randle this and that

freaking hypocrisy

Pretty sure that's the 12 year old Knick fan in this thread :lol:

It's not like the dude wearing a Pacers jersey was just walking down the street minding his own business. There was a Knicks crowd that was there.

So it seems to me he was looking for trouble. I get it, Knicks fans shouldn't have done what they did. But he was also wrong. Dude was trying to be a troll. You can't act all shocked after that.


For what is worth, you really, really do not want to go down that road.

One of the reasons why I follow the NBA despite not being an American is that fan hooliganism isn't really a thing in American sports. Fans of opposing teams can watch away games without fearing for their safety. That's something I admire because this is not what happens in my country, Greece. Olympiacos fans cannot go into Panathinaikos' stadium to watch their teams play each other (and vice versa). When the big teams play, you will never see fans of different teams watching the game together. Opposing ultra groups attacking each other isn't uncommon and those attacks sometimes result in deaths.

You really do not want any of that crap happening in the US. Trust me on that. It makes following any team a lot, lot worse.


The worst part of a team being good after such a long time, is that POS like these come up. And we can see that on this forum as well.
"Looking for trouble" lol. Maybe he was trying to get to the subway, Penn Station or the 42nd St Bus Station, coming from a bar, or even work who cares? It doesn't matter
People wear other jerseys all over the country around this time, and guess what there are Knicks fans in Cali, Florida, Boston and other places too.
For the most part in US you can safely wear a jersey wherever you want, even Lakers Jerseys in Boston. At most you should expect some trash talking which is fine.

Detroit wasn't fully healthy either, actually.

This series is the argument for keeping conferences. It’s great for rivalries, and I feel like this series is better than Pacers-Timberwolves, if we got rid of conferences and those teams met in the semifinals.

These pacer trolls will quietly go away like the Celtic fans and we won't hear from them again, just a few days

I'll ask again, and then I'll stop engaging like I should've long before. We can talk about the Pacers beating injured teams. That's fine, I don't care, though we probably saw the best version of Milwaukee more or less. But who exactly did the Knicks beat that was so impressive?? A not particularly great Detroit team with no Ivy and the hospital Celtics? The Knicks didn't even beat anyone in the regular season! It doesn't seem like y'all have done anything more than we have, and I'd argue less!

There is exactly one Pacers poster in this thread that I do not really recognize. Everyone else has been posting here for years, some of us decades. We're not going anywhere.

I’m sure New York remembers pacers celebrating on their home floor last year while decimated with injuries and Indiana needing an all time shooting game to win …Revenge is in the books

I'm a real person :) I just found this place recently looking for something better for online sports discussion than the hellhole that is reddit. And this thread is engaging.... I will say to Knicks fans, if my comments are disrespectful/irrelevant/trollish, then I do sincerely apologize.

I'll shut up now, as I have nothing more to add. If I could only sleep until Wednesday!

Hospital Celtics? They were up 3-1 with everyone playing in the 4 games.... Detroit won like 4 games less then the powerhouse bucks you beat in round 1. You guys want to be accepted so badly but won't get respect until you beat a playoff team that isn't missing top pieces

I don't doubt that you're a real person, my friend. Welcome to the forum, by the way :D

My point mostly was that since the Pacers community in RealGM is pretty small (there's about 10-15 of us in here) we kinda know each other pretty well for quite some time now. But, hey, we aren't an insular community so, once again, welcome :D
