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?

yea, I don't think the end result refutes anything I've been saying. unless you think nesmith will drop a nuke at the end of every game or something.

we are the better team and your defense is poor. we will put up 115-120 with ease. we will continue to be up 10-15 in the 4th and their wont be any more out of body experiences to save ya'll

Imagine walking through the city with a Hali jersey on.

Someone should youtube it.

A tail of two strategies. The Knicks wouldn't let the Pacers shoot a 3 at the end of regulation, they made them hit free throws. But that stopped the clock and it made the Knicks have to hit free throws too and they couldn't do it. The Pacers on the other hand let Brunson shoot the three and were lucky he missed it.

This was like the Dr Strange "1 chance" of chokes.

Everything had to go right for the Pacers and it did.

You guys got a pussy for a coach fouling neismith instead of trusting OG to make a defensive play lol. It's Karma just like Daignault.

Play defense if Neismith hits it it's a tie game and Knicks have 10 seconds to score.

I don't really like to call this a New York chokejob, as those Nesmith threes were utterly ridiculous...

Pulling out the choke pre-OT is one of the wilder things I've seen on a court. This could have easily been the biggest Nick Young moment ever.

I think I need the Knicks to win because even though I think OKC can beat Indiana (if they beat Minnesota) on straight basketball terms, it's obvious that the Pacers are God's favorite basketball team.

This is a tragic loss in so many ways for the Knicks

Brunson: 43pts on 15-25 shooting
KAT: 35pts/12rbds on 11-17 shooting

And they lost at home...
