Barely beat a banged up Philly, and needed the refs to bail you out against Indy in game 1. You are by far the luckiest team left in the playoffs, and you'll be found out eventually



We're missing our 2nd scorer and bench scorer, of course we're not winning the title, thanks for such a well thought out analysis :lol:

Refs made the last minute of a great game all about them. Hate to see stuff like that.

He has just become vastly overrated. There is zero question, this loss is on Haliburton shrinking horribly.

Maybe Brunson takes his Team USA spot just like Ant took Booker's?

Gg. Refs were terrible, but I'll take the win.

Hopefully next game they actually let physical D be played like they had been all playoffs so far. A regular season pre-ASB whistle should not be happening in round 2 of the playoffs.

Knicks got gifted calls down the wire I will admit, but Pacers also got gifted being in the penalty in both the 3rd and 4th super early off of soft calls.. in the 4th, they were in the penalty with like 5:30 left.. ridiculous, especially considering they were barely driving to the paint.

Last series, it was that they didn’t make these end of game calls. They call it now and everyone complains. It is what it is :lol:

Refs helped out the Knicks with game 2 vs the Knicks and game 1 tonight, this is not a good thing.

Haliburton was pissing his pants all night tho

Not a fan of either team but there were some very bad calls by the refs in that game. Looked like some home cooking to me that moving screen call was very weak.

Logged on to say how poorly that was officiated, wow. That was pretty egregious, many missed/controversial calls in that 4th. Also Brunson is pretty gross to watch basically just Harden ball but he's a midget so its more infuriating

KG and the Celtics won a championship that way. Warriors same thing with Green. Just getting away with blatant moving screens

so call it early, when both teams do it. dont randomly call it with 15 seconds left in the game. a screen like that probably happened 40 times this game by both teams.

The phantom kick ball. The phantom foul on Turner. Gifted wrapped for the Knicks.

Your bench outscoring their bench 46-3 and losing this game is insane

Haliburton singlehandedly lost them this game. Brunson completely dominated that matchup.

Maybe they could have won if Haliburton scored more than 6 points on 2-6 shooting?
Knicks in 5.

He's actually a no. 3 at best. He's very passive, his shot is broken and the dude can't defend to save his life..

It was great until the last minute when the refs messed it up. I don’t have a dog in this race, I just want good basketball, and feel like I was robbed of a good game. I can only imagine how Pacers fans are feeling right now.
