What an atrociously reffed game down the stretch... It's been a while since one team was favored so unanimously by the referees like this... Have to feel for the Pacers, it's almost like the league didn't want them to win.

Why are most of the Knicks starters playing 40+ minutes? They are going to be burned out by the time this is over. And Hart played 48 minutes...my goodness.

I guess the league is ok with flops again huh?

Haliburton had 6 points 3 turnovers. 2-8.

This guy is a FRAUD

Between the kick ball that wasn’t and that terrible call on the screen….woof

I thought the Knicks would take it in 6. And still do but they need to control pace better.

It was an illegal screen. The kick ball miss was the legitimate gripe Pacers fans can have.

The Hali foul they got overturned too. That was a fast break opportunity too that instead ended up being a difficult 3.

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

The problem is consistency. They didn't call it all game long on either side. Not like Hartenstein or Robinson are setting clean screens. But on a play where Turner isn't even moving all that much compared to previous possessions they make the call.

I will absolutely say that the kickball call was a straight porking for the Pacers, but the Pacers late game execution, combined with Haliburton shrinking on the big stage, is the reason they lost.

Haliburton has to have a great game 2.

Pacers still choked this away. Shouldn't have even come down to those horrible calls.

yeah they clearly favored when we had to challenge a ball that went off nembhard...lucky we had a challenge left to overturn that.

Because Tom Thibodeau.

Officiating would be better if players were just allowed to call the game themselves like we did when we were kids.

DonaldSanders · Post #1277 » by **DonaldSanders** » Tue May 7, 2024 2:15 am

Wow, this game goes up there as one of the worst officiated playoff games I've ever watched. Refs totally ruined this one.

Refs taking the wind out of these playoffs games.. makes you not want to watch

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..

Gotta give him this offseason to recover, I can't believe this is the same player we saw early season in the play-in tournament.

Elite flopping be the Knicks. Unmatched!

Who wins GAME 7 and goes to the ECFs?
