Very few Knicks fans left believing in their team I guess



I mean, can you blame them after one of the biggest choke jobs of all time?

Every team we play will be deeper than us with a better coach than us but our 1-5 talent is greater than all of the teams left. That alone will win us this series. They played great ball and it got them down 14 with 2 minutes to go before a miracle happened. Miracles won’t happen every game but their poor defense will continue. Their defense will be a constant. I’m not worried about it.


They played poorly the first 44 min of the game then the Pacers went Yard! If the Pacer play their game from start to finish they're gonna run the Knicks to death. I'm not saying it's over or anything, but right now it's Pacers in 6. I did get the first 2 rounds correct. A lot of this depends on health, but the Pacers are deep and strong at 10 deep.


They shot like 65% in the first half when were they playing poorly? Like I’ve been saying they played well and they were still down 14 and just had a miracle happen.

We’ll see what happens tonight.


They shot 51-37-76 in the first half, which is very average for the Pacers and they were not down 14. They were down 7.

Then in the 2nd half they were like 1-11 from 3 before the streak at the end from Nesmith. Which is the time period they got down by 14. I'm confused by this idea that they were "playing well and still down 14". Hell, they even finished the game 51-40-75 shooting. Basically 1 shot in the game from their season averages.

Yeah, the Knicks KNOW if they lose today, it's pretty much a wrap. They're going to come out with some fire today. I expect it to be 1-1 after tonight. Hope I'm wrong, but it's reality. Any game where the team knows their season is on the line they come out ready to fight all night. Hard to match that when it's not that important for you.

Mitchell Robinson looks ready to play. Let's see if Brunson feels the need to take 40 shots tonight or get everyone going first.

I hope I'm wrong, and then when I saw this ... I thought I wouldn't wake up until the last minute if I was Nuntius. Then I realized it's almost 8. Sheesh, I didn't even realize we were that close.

What a bad fan. :lol:

Nuntius is in the zone - concentrating - we've all been there

Holy, was looking at floor seats for Sunday, and they're $12,000. Not usually that much in Indy. I assume it's because the Indy 500 is Sunday as well. There is going to be 100,000 people in Indy looking for entertainment after the race. I'd guess a lot of them are buying tickets.

Unfortunately we have to listen to Reggie's ass tonight. He's totally not needed with Harlen and SVG
