WE OUT FOR BLOOD!!

[RHODEY]

1-970 Congrats on your championship

Nice game yesterday

It’s a Sweep

Thx for Mikal

This little hating netfan dork is clogging up my inbox with anti Knicks slander, I'm not telling anyone to do any thing... but Karma is a B@tch!

Nah this guy forsure is crazy bro, obsessed w/ the Knicks

He's stalking me in my inbox and on my posts trying to instigate me into a banning...here's the latest (And I know this little cornball is reading this)

Reported your post to the mods as well for baiting, well done

I hope the mods see this for what it is. Ive tried to avoid contact with him lately but he cant seem to stop himself.

If you want something bad enough. Nothing will stop you from attaining it. If you want this game and this series bad enough they will go out there and take it.

[G_K_F]

Thank you, we don't need this negativity

I think we’ll be fine with it.

If Jalen Brunson gets up on the podium and says we lost because of GKF’s negativity on RealGM I’ll re-think my posts.

The negativity just sets a black cloud over us, as if we're down 3-0, win tomorrow and take game 3 and you are exactly where you're supposed to be

The goal was to win both in NY.

But let’s say they win tomorrow - I’m not gonna be satisfied at all until I see them go on the road and win. And that win needs to be a statement win. Not down 20 and come back to win. Come out and win wire to wire. Show what you’re made of.

Lock the f**k in
Every possession
Every play
Communicate
Play like it’s game 7 from the goddamn tip off

The Pacers are an extremely lethal team with amazing chemistry.

Remember the same squad and rotation is there from last season. They’ve gotten even better.

I looked at the Pacers playoff performances and in all their wins they are, except for one game, shooting over 50% from the field and over 40% from 3. Does anyone remember last year in Game 7 when they shot like 70% for the game? This team can score and is extremely efficient. I just don’t see us beating them at this point. Just taking the big choke collapse out of the equation - we shot 50% and lost. We don’t normally shoot 50% from the field. We can’t shut this team down when it matters. I just don’t see it happening.

Dude, did you not watch the game last night? They didn't miss in the first quarter and we still lead by two, a team that's trash to start games and they still couldn't do what Boston and even Detroit did every game. You can number crunch them all you want, they are a nerd's dream, but they're soft on the court....I don't see what everybody is making a fuss about.

Their defense is not championship tier, it's why they're never a top seed and constantly rely on luck to win in the playoffs. Every.Single.Team they've faced in the last two years was never at full strength. They finally see us again healthy and they looked like the mid seed treadmill team in the eastern conference that they are.

They chuck and run, their defense is not going to keep the Knicks up at night like Boston and Detroit did. Turner wasn't even playing to end the game, they had Toppin in there....defense isn't even a priority, offense is, it's why they chuck and duck and get lucky like they did in one of the Cleveland games.

40 seconds, 5 point lead, hold the ball, shoot free throws and win...that's all Brunson had to do to beat this overrated team last night that needed a guy to do something that even Steph Curry has never done in his career, didn't give OG who was knocked out of mid air a call, and had a shot miss, bounce ten feet in the air and go through the hoop all while for some reason our point guard decided to shove his head up his own ass.

And we still could've won in overtime if the refs didn't miss the goal tend that would've given us a six point lead. A lot had to go wrong, it was a bad loss, but it wasn't against some defending champion juggernaut where every game we win is a blessing from God like in the last series.

Boston was our achilles because the way they play is our biggest weakness. Pacers aren't built like that...Kat and JB dropped almost 80 points alone on these lucky pu$$ies. If there ever was a game where you can say one team didn't win, the other lost, it was this one. Even in our two, sorry THREE, comebacks against Boston PUT TOGETHER, we didn't have this kind of luck, and they got a string of it in a 2 minute span. It was unbelievable.

These dudes who are usually down and coming back to take wins were up big for once and couldn't handle prosperity. Now they know. Now we're good.

What they’re made of is poor decisions, selfishness, not thinking before acting and hubris, all with the soft as baby poo foundation of a coach who has no real plans, no standards, no coaching and not a clue of how to make sure his team is balanced, prepared and ready to defeat the opponent.

It smells like b***h up in here man
Goddamn, all yall need to lock tf in and stop having a sky is falling mentality.
We here ain’t we? We got here because we kept figuring it out on the fly. We chipped away at leads over and over again. We didn’t have one man get hot and rely on that one hot hand like the pacers did. Our style of play can and will win out over the course of the series.
So calm the fck down and sack up. All of you. We demolishing them from here on out.

[Adelheid]

The knicks can handle this. Think positive yo

[Clyde_Style]

RealGM deleting the french version and restoring the english language translation is strange, so I'm just deleting the whole thing

[Clyde_Style]

The alternate version for Brother Jeff:

I thought you might like to know how your post reads in French:

Ça sent la merde ici, mec.
Putain, il faut juste que vous vous concentriez et que vous arrêtiez de vous mettre à la tête.
On est là, pas vrai ? On en est arrivés là parce qu'on a trouvé des solutions au fur et à mesure. On a grignoté l'avantage encore et encore. On n'a pas laissé un joueur s'échauffer et compter sur une seule main comme les Pacers. Notre style de jeu peut et va nous permettre de l'emporter au fil de la série.
Alors calmez-vous et mettez-vous au travail. On va tous les démolir à partir de maintenant.

Yeaaa!!!!

People need to forget G1, that was once-in-a-million finish and that probably won't happen again in our lifetime. The Knicks are still the better team and showed it in first 45 minutes of G1. Just bring the same effort in G2 for the full 48 minutes and I have no doubt this team will do well. 4 wins to go for the NBA Finals, they can do it!

[Chanel Bomber]

They have to come back strong.

[Spree2Houston]

We’re going to find out tonight what this team is really made of

[Adelheid]

Watch on YouTube

knicks in this series G1 are like this

[Worst_to_First]

I don’t think I can stomach watching the pregame. Will join you guys by tip-off.

[NYKinMIA]

TBH and people doubt me ... I'm on my way out as a fan.

[CyKnickal]

OG is big pissed on this play, this is right after neismith hits the 3 to make the score 123 - 118
KAT gets picked by siakim, but Doesn’t communicate to OG that he’s switching
This is why OG is pissed because he’s trying to figure out who to guard, as KAT ran down the court guarding Neismith and then gets picked off by Siakim

KAT puts these guys is horrible situations time and time again

Whatever happened, happened. Fact of the matter was, 34 seconds and a five point lead, Kat helped carry them there until that point, the only time we really pulled away from them was when he was on the floor with Mitch and carried them dolo while Brunson sulked on the bench. Things went to **** when he came back to continue his own agenda, and he is solely responsible for those last 40 seconds. Worst time management I've ever seen from him, and it was because these Pacers boys were in his head.

Had Brunson just held the ball, it would've given the Pacers only one possession instead of the two that they received after the call on OG was overturned. Those two hugging it out in that clip are responsible for the two biggest **** ups of the night.....Brunson passing it to him for Lord knows what reason and him not being able to catch a bounce pass.

That three point onslaught was OG and Bridges fault, that also had little to do with Kat. Kat's job was to stop the drive, which he did on multiple occasions. These perimeter dudes were slipping and sliding, bumbling and falling on simple side steps and letting one **** guy bomb away.

Kat is the last guy that deserves slander for this, especially from those two idiots of the night. The switching is on the coach, sometimes he does it, sometimes he doesn't. Watch a pick and roll that a team runs against Josh and Brunson...those two are always confused no matter what they're doing.

Bridges revealed that they thought they had the game won and just stopped communicating. It's on all of them, especially the perimeter guys. They didn't drop 6 threes in a row because Kat didn't tell them to switch once. Whatever Kat did prior, it helped them hold Niesmith to ten bull points, right???? The Pacers shot THIRTY PERCENT FROM THREE up until that point, so whatever he was doing didn't matter but all of a sudden....

The paint was locked, they weren't even looking for layups, were telegraphing that they were gonna shoot threes. So whoever was guarding Neismith should've pulled up his shorts after the third three and draped him up, instead of wondering if his lumbering center who just got picked is going to pick him up.
