We’ll take G2, go to Gainbridge and be the road warriors we’ve been all playoffs and take back home court.


No, Knicks are DONE

Pacers stole their hearts

Hali applied the choke on them , they’ll never recover after this , might win one game maybe but that’s about it


Seriously. Knicks are ****. It's just a question of how many games for the Pacers to take them out. I said 7 before for the crazy sweat, but now I'm thinking 5 or 6. Knicks know that Hali owns them in the clutch.

pffffff, where do these people come out of the woodworks lol, jokes will get quiet when NY us up 2-1......

iggymcfrack wrote:Pacers being -147 for the series now is ****. That's better odds than you could have got on the Knicks before Game 1. They're obviously the better team, they have the most clutch player in the league, AND they just ripped the Knicks hearts out. If this series wasn't already my biggest sports sweat in years, I'd be adding on for sure. It's the free-est of money. As long as the Pacers top guys stay healthy, they're WINNING this series.



lol, keep all this energy the rest of the series, if you actually watched any knick ball all year you would know they bounce back from a tough loss, but you go on and think the series is over :lol:

Where are you my erudite friend ? :D


Terrible loss.it took everything possibly going wrong for the Knicks and everything possibly going right for the Pacers to steal this game. It reminded me of the Knicks sixers game 5 last year

So proud of Aaron Nesmith. He needed to fix his erratic feet when shooting. Thought he had a shot to be good in Indiana but god damn

I don’t understand the Haliburton hate…I mean, I get that I am biased, but why is playing with passion a bad thing? The dude is a menace with trash talk on the court, but pure class outside of battle. Shouldn’t we be wanting more of that?


Of course you're biased lol. Any opponent of Haliburton fans or player probably despises him which means he's doing his job but he's really annoying as an opposition fan.
As a Pistons fan I'm sure people despise Beasley for his shimmying and showboating, same ****.

That's the last time I go to bed with the Pacers trailing by 17 with 6:26 to go in the 4th.

The last time I tell ya.

Man what a game. Kudos pacer bros on a fantastic win, we need to take this next one, even if we win both in Indy.

He caught that from Mikal Bridges on that play too. Bridges basically fouled Toppin and Mitch.

Something about the Pacers, man, they smelled blood. You could see in real time that they were in attack mode, trying to win the game. The Knicks looked like they were just trying to survive out there.

I love both these teams for Raptors reasons. This will 100% be my favourite series.

I think the craziest part of last nights game, is that the Knicks were scoring during that time.

It wasn't one of those scenarios where a team does EVERYTHING wrong, and loses. Brunson had a bucket, KAT had a bucket. They SCORED 6 points in the final minute of the 4th QTR, and it still didn't matter.

That's insane to me.

2's were being traded for 3's though, Hell of a game and literally 1 play would have iced the game. Hold the ball instead of the pass to OG, but sh*t happens, be better down the stretch game 2.
