PG: Knicks vs Indy: Game 1 ECF

[JXL]

Pretty sure we have never won a playoff series when we lose game 1 on home court. This was so disgusting

Only ones I remember:

2013 - Lost to Indiana in Game 1 @ Home - Lost the series in 6
2023 - Lost to Miami in Game 1 @ Home - Lost the series in 6

We’ll see what this team is about Game 2.

[Adelheid]

thibs truly does not respect the 3ball

[Jeff Van Gully]

that was the worst choke job I've experienced as a knick fan. we certainly did not play until the final horn.

we just boston celticked. damn.

[2010]

Brunson played stupid as **** down the stretch.

Nearly threw the ball away twice. Also made that dumbass pass to OG under the basket (the Siakam foul that got overturned) when he should have burned more clock.

He’s often too occupied with stumbling & bumbling hunting fouls than making the right basketball play.

He has a gaudy stat line but played sloppy undisciplined basketball.

If you want to enjoy the wins, you gotta be able to take the losses too. Man up. On to game 2

Nesmith knocking down threes like it's NBA Jam.

We had two chances at winning it with both Brunson and KAT getting threes in the final possession. They didn't go down this time.

This isn’t a regular loss where they got outplayed.

It was a full meltdown, and it’s beyond awful and demoralizing.

This dude keeps writing the same ****.

It’s a demoralizing loss that gives the Pacers supreme confidence.

Has dude played a sport before?

We’re done. It’s over. Cooked. Call in the reinforcements. Pacers in 5.

It pains me. But I’ve watched and played ball for 25-30 years. There’s no coming back from this. An epic choke and failure. Get me Giannis.

[Wildcat]

Thibs chose to play the foul route when this team can’t make free throws took the cake for me

The irony dawned on me when OG fouled.

[Context]

they still have another level to get to. Elite teams dont lose a 14 point lead like that toward the end of the 4th FOH.

It’s on coaching
You have deuce and Mitch absolutely locking them up giving them nightmares
And he brings back in Jalen

There’s a reason why last year we pushed them. Because of the DEFENSE

This game really got me angry...I dont like that...

[NYKat]

I knew when the crowd start yelling “OG” at the free throw line he was gonna miss that ****. Knicks fans always trying to be the main character.

[3toheadmelo]

My first and last post in this PG, I don't even know what to say.

I am speechless as well and at a loss of words. I’ve never seen a choke job like this ever as a Knicks fan.. and I’ve seen plenty of choke jobs. see you on Friday hope we get our lick back.

[Im Coming Home]

Nesmith will never have a shooting night like that again and that's what it took for them to win. Don't worry fellas we'll be alright.

Historic SOTN Performance by Nesmith, down in the history books for biggest scrub of the night ever, so lucky.

[Jay10]

We looked great on both ends with Deuce at PG

It's because with Deuce other players touch the ball, whereas with Jalen everyone is just waiting behind the 3 point line.

[Red Vines]

Needed to take a timeout early in overtime to regroup. They were tired and stunned, had to refocus.

[Wildcat]

WTF does that even mean?

[K_ick_God]

He got the lucky bounce but Mitch’s defense on Hali was weak as hell

[rajajackal]

i love og but he needs to protect the **** rock

[NYKat]

So we need to stop talking that “choke” ****, STFU with that ****.

This is the type of lost that shakes players. OG was already spooked enough as is.

[Jay10]

What head coach takes out the guys that got their team to a 17 point lead?
