Seriously doubing my Knicks’ series bet now. That choke was painful to watch and we’re just basketball fans. Mentally, that should be deflating for Brunson and every Knicks player out there.

So many Knicks fans were in here puffing their chests out like the series is over and they about to sweep
awkward
That is one of the all time choke jobs up 17

Nah. you forgot last year's ECF. Pacers led Celtics late in 4th all 4 games and choked that away. They have come back mentally stronger this year.

Nesmith with nuclear with like 5-6 threes in the last couple minutes. Then Tyrese happened.

don't forget we missed 2 FT's and also had a missed goaltend that turned what would've been a 6 pt lead in OT to a 1 pt lead. pacers aren't winning the series, give me a break.
Unfortunately it doesn’t work like this. Every game is a different game. For them to lose this one is heartbreaking. If Indy crushes NY next game, does game 1 matter at all how Indy won?

Hopefully they can take it all the way to a championship!
They did it against Milwaukee in Game 5 too. That should have been a loss.

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
You can definitely score on our defense. Never said otherwise and the final score does reflect that.
But guess what? We can also score on your defense.

Really happy for what Aaron Nesmith has become. Never really had a shot in Boston. He needed to go somewhere that would let him take his lumps and he’s grown into a heck of a role player.

Brunson: 43pts on 15-25 shooting
KAT: 35pts/12rbds on 11-17 shooting
And they lost at home...
KAT played very well & I know Brunson's scoring is absurd but I'm not as high on this game as the shooting % would look. Way too shaky making passes down the stretch, turnovers and poor D.
But KAT was great brutal loss.

How much time was on the clock when Brunson tried to throw OG that bounce pass alley oop? Highlights aren't up on YouTube yet.
