Relax , Pacers wanted to lift the trophy before their own crowd

Knicks will fold like a cheap lawn chair in Game 6

I predict easy Pacers victory 125-79 :D

Wonder if Caitlin Cooper is still laughing about Shamet's defense 8-)

Things Ive noticed from the series

This one is obvious but Pacers are killing them on the break. Need to get back on D

Pascal and Mathurin are doing a great job forcing the issue and getting to the line especially on smaller guys

Also Pascal is one the best defenders who swears he never fouls.

Speaking of fouls Towns is an idiot at making the most boneheaded fouls. On the flipside can't nobody check him on the Pacers

For all the slander they get on here and in the media Brunson and Towns have played well most of the series

Haliburton wasn't very aggressive tonight but I expect that to change in Game 6

Not playing Payne and giving those mins to the Shamet and Wright has been so clutch. Gives them more resistance on the perimeter.

A few in here were ready to write off Jalen Brunson as a 1A


We are in a “live in the moment” world where people just present idiotic takes.

People were really trying to go deep in their bags suggesting Becky Hammond was right. Like seriously moronic stuff.

Thanks to upgraded Van Vleet we were able to extend the series and it was a nice farewell to Garden crowd.
Special thanks to Landry Shamet who gives a clinic on how to guard a bigger defender for guards.
We’ll watch at least one more game. I still believe…

Yeah. He was questionable going into this game. He rolled his ankle badly in game 3.

This **** is going to game 7 imo
"I’ve seen a guy that played for the Pacers, gave them everything they had, or everything he had, and was essentially traded to the dogs. And I’m speaking on Danny Granger, who was one of the better players in Pacers history"

What kind of odds are you giving Game 6 and 7 each to get only 60% for the Pacers?


I didn’t see a lot of this series but thibs unlocked Kat telling him not to shoot 3s. Changed the complexion of this game


LOL, you think Thibs said WHAT to Towns? Coaches don’t last in the NBA telling “the best shooting big man of all-time” not to shoot threes. If there’s a reason Towns only took 4 threes today it’s probably because he didn’t trust his knee on the release.

He was dinged up but didn't play well anyhow.
