PG: Knicks vs Indy: Game 1 ECF

[Fat]

We choked but it also took Nesmith summoning Steph soul to drain how many 3s he had (3-4??) in the last 2.5 mins, and Hali to make an incredibly lucky bounce shot for them to send this to OT...

We were tired and demoralized by their shot making in OT

I really think we have to learn to keep a big lead safer

We play better on the road anyways

I think we win in 6

Why are we letting him shoot 3s when that’s the only thing that can beat us

More questionable why are we letting the only person leading the comeback continue to shoot instead of forcing somebody else to beat us.

Thibs is not a championship coach. Simple

[KnicksGadfly]

Let’s see how we bounce back.

[K_ick_God]

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.

To each his own but I consider it over

Choke like that, can’t beat OKC, can’t recover

A wrap

[Deeeez Knicks]

This was awful. Can't even say much

[whocares1]

I don't give a $hit how many Brunson had but the minute he left we were up 16. The minute he came back we lost the lead. F that ISO $hit and F Thibs for going away from what was working in the 4th.

You think the offense was the problem when they allowed Nesmith to walk into 4 straight wide open threes? I can’t take some of you guys seriously.

If you don't think Brunson is a problem on defense then you watching something different than the rest of us. McBride, Mitch, OG together is what got us up 16. Then he sits Mitch and Deuce down at the same time??? What kinda stupid @ss coaching is that? We were outscored the rest of the way.

OG was the one that did not step to Nesmith multiple times on his three point barrage. He also wasn’t able to handle the pass downlow to Brunson which would’ve been a dunk. He also missed a free throw which conveniently would’ve won us the game.

[TKKnicks1]

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

I was yelling at the TV when OG made that intentional foul. KAT had just missed one as well. What makes you think you're gonna make your FTs?? Just dumb coaching.

[R-DAWG]

That missed goaltend was sickening. Why we didn't foul when they literally had to shoot 3's for 3 minutes straight, only Thibs knows. Feelsbadman.

It changed everything in overtime - but the Knicks should have never been in that position.

The 50-50 calls went the Pacers way tonight. So did the lucky bounces. But we were up 14 inside of 3 minutes at home - no excuse.

[2010]

Like, why is it so hard to emphasize defending the 3pt line? Why?

[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.

WTF does that even mean?

Putting pressure on the free throw shooter, same thing with them chanting Mitch, I knew that **** was gonna back fire

[god shammgod]

if this is your first time you're lucky. reggie. the ewing missed finger roll. charles smith missing layup after layup. john starks keeps missing in game 7 of the finals. you merely adopted the dark, i was born in it. lol

[Wildcat]

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

Same coach that leaves his players in with 8 minutes to go after the other team threw in the white flag.

[bklynstoops]

This one was really inexplicable, but at the end of the day, it’s one loss. Hopefully they can regroup. Pacers certainly have the mental edge right now.

[Strick]

We either bounce back and play pissed off game 2 or they roll over and die. Let’s see what team this really is

[Context]

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

I expect them to win game two but for me they need to win 3 in a row for me to regain the confidence I had. You just came from that Boston series and you let Nesmith shoot 4 wide open threes?! On your home floor with everynone present. WFT!!!

[rajajackal]

get your feelings out ya'll. i'm not scared of these mfs. we got 4 wins to get

[2010]

Listen to this goofy

Read on Twitter

[WargamesX]

Brunson has to realize KAT has the advantage and if he gets in foul trouble put McBride in and let Brunson sit.

Like Brunson kept trying to get hot and yeah he was scoring but it messed up the team flow. He needs to focus more on passing the ball and less on trying to relive his WWE rivalry with Haliburton.

[nyknicks09]

WTF was that man!

We choked and gave the game away.

There’s no way we let our guard down on some of these plays.

Carlisle just outcoached Thibs in every possession.

[K_ick_God]

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.

He’s unguarded bc Thibs doesn’t coach the game. Not one of his shots was even contested

[HEZI]

You guys saying Nesmith will never have a shooting night like that as if the guy isn’t averaging 48% from 3 in the playoffs and has been shooting that thing all year long. It’s not like he was getting lucky, he can flat out shoot
