Carlisle just flushed his reputation down the toilet
Never seen anything more nonsensical than this petty weakling BS

29 in game one, 49 in game two. Fourty-Nine objections in a game where 31 fouls were called.
I don't even know how that's possible.

That yelling man, i think, is human garbage (to use his favorite phrase).
Are Pacers playing great defense? No. They are looking to push pace and basically show on offense. Carlisle is one of the top coaches in the league so perhaps the players just need to execute? I mean sagging off of Josh Hart from 3 is probably a wise move, but how you address him making the prudent move of penetration rather than taking an open shot is a player-decision.
I think Carlisle is trying to Phil Jackson-style paint a narrative to get some favor with their home officiating. There is a near 0% chance NY is winning the game 3. Injuries are afoot (pun intended) and I expect cheap-shots on defense.

If anything, NoSac turned the refs, the league office and the rest of the country not eating corn dogs against the Pacers
This was not a crafty rejoinder that will rebalance the odds in their favor. It was a broad stroke FU to the NBA
My expectation now is that if it has any effect it will be to predispose the refs against Indy
Further, our narrative is winning hearts all over the world right now. Indy just put themselves into the role of whiny soft boys vs. the tough get it done guys. Nobody likes a whiner
If there is such a thing as anti-Knicks sentiment in the NBA league office or among the refs, the Knicks story catching fire now could shift that sentiment. The NBA is a jock riders administration to some extent and they want great narratives to promote the sport. The Knicks are currently that story

Hahn made an interesting point on his show yesterday. There was a "Hicks vs Knicks" thing during the 90's, and now this is Carlisle (who was there during that era) is trying to replay that narrative for the fans.
FWIW Phil Jackson used to use similar tactics to much success during his various championship runs, so it's not always a ref turn off.
Public seems to like us for now -- Josh Hart is such an interesting character because I can't think of any other player - perhaps John Salley - that was that blend of playful and intense.
