Lol Knicks. Woof. That's a game they might regret losing. Could be the difference in the series if we look back next week.

One of the all time great NBA playoffs.

The Pacers are/were amazing.

Feel for Knicks fans. That one would really hurt.

Haliburton and Nesmith are awesome.

Rick Carlisle you rascal you've done it again

6 TOs in an OT playoff game is very, very impressive

If the bounce didn't happen Knicks win but they no one to blame but themselves for blowing that one. They were shaky on in bound passes and missed FTs down the stretch. This sucks. Especially since the short bench came through. God damn it.

Let's break down the last 2 minutes of regulation.. there's the choke by Brunson and Towns.

Also Bridges couldn't get one freaking touch??? In OT ?? the last 4 minutes of regulation??? Brunson you can't get him 1 freaking touch???

Brunson needs to mail that clutch player of the year award back to the league tonight. Sending it to Hali works too.

Some of the most elementary school mental errors that I’ve even seen … as a Knicks fan I’m ashamed but not totally surprised, we often fall into these spurts of some of the dumbest basketball I’ve ever seen…

Gotta give credit where credit is due, the Pacers came in and took game 1… good game

Be careful about underestimating us and chalking everything up to injuries. The Cavs made the same mistake :wink:


are you seeing how everything I'm saying is correct? your defense is awful that even when you have a guy have an out of body experience in the last 3 mins along with the flukiest shot since kawhi it's just a tied game


Well, it's not a tied game anymore. Wanna revisit this statement?
