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

[Nuntius]

Huge shot by Walker. Let's see if we can keep that run going.

I remember reasearching him on their draft. Wasnt he supposed to be 6'9 or something? He looks shorter than that on my screen1

He's more like 6'7 to 6'8. Great wingspan, though.

[Marrs-Law]

gg. Best full Knicks game all series by far. Like G3 still not super concerned, seeing as the Pacers seemed to have a really poor game (like G3). With that said, the Knicks have seemed to figure out more and more as this series goes on, so we'll see.

Hopefully Neismith will be 100% next game (as I can't imagine he was this game). On to the next.

[DaGawd]

should be 3-2 knicks if we didn’t choke away game 1 smh

[HotRocks34]

Can't believe Thibs played 10 guys.

Knicks may still have a shot here.

[LFGK]

KAT is such a front runner. Very talented offensively though

That's the entire pacer roster lol

[Woodsanity]

This is why game 1 is still a gut punch for me.... Thibs adjusted but it was too late. We still have a small chance to win this series but man oh man....

I never get when teams give up so early, like T-Mac shows 13 in 33 but Indiana waves the white flag down 16 with like 2:44 left in such a critical game.

[Tim_Hardawayy]

So far the way this series has gone, KAT/Brunson is a more talented duo than anything Indiana can pair with Haliburton. And arguably the two most talented players. But Indiana has been beating them as a team.

If games 6/7 can be slowed down like this one was, and the stars can continue to excel, I just might give it to the Knicks. But if the Pacers can get the pace back to where they like it, they should close it out in 6.

No more miracle 3s for nesmith? Too bad

Aren't you the same guy who said the Pacers wouldn't win another game after game 1 because it took a miracle for them? Where are you when the Knicks lost game 2 and 3, such arrogance.

I was blaming thibs for his incompetence rightfully so. All of the games are close. That means games are coming down to coaching and execution. Thibs lost us games 1, 2, and 4 decisively with his bad coaching in addition to pacers overperforming.

Realistically every game should look like this one if thibs doesn’t wet the bed. This pacers team is NOT the best team in the EC. Gotta be joking if you believe that.

[azcatz11]

So are we going to have an OKC game 5 experience or can the Knicks extend this?

[Nuntius]

Wait, why has Nesmith played only 15 minutes? Did he reinjure his ankle?

Didn't really looked like it but Carlisle was very, very quick to pull him multiple times. It looked like he was moving fine while he was on the court but, who knows, the team knows more than I do. Maybe he was sore? No idea, really.

[KO7]

Didn’t watch most of the game: Is Nembhard left in there during garbage time as punishment for a crappy performance?

Define small.

Id say the odds rn are 60/40 pacers

Plenty of guys aren’t 100% on the Knicks as well. Especially KAT who is still dominant. Nesmith is regressing to the mean.

Can’t say with a straight face having two wings shooting 55% from the field and 50% from 3 was sustainable over a playoff run.

[Froob]

brunson was great but kat won the game

A PF in a wings body..

Knicks fans are like Arsenal fans.

And like arsenal fans i truly want them to win a chip. It just seems destined to never happen.

[Enso]

This series has been too good not to go 7, so I will be a Knicks fan for one more game, but I'm a free agent after that.

with the history of these teams it will go 7

Like 20-25%. If we were 3-2 it would be more like 80%.

He is trash this entire series
