2025 EASTERN CONFERENCE FINALS: #3 New York Knicks vs #4 Indiana Pacers (IND leads 2-1)

[Airmiess]

Jalen Brunson is just a taller version of Isaiah Thomas.

It's true.

[DusterBuster]

This series kinda bums me out. Was hoping for a long series back and forth after G1. Knicks feel like they’ve lost the fight after losing G2.

[RookieStar]

Lol... every time i skip/watch something else rather than the game, IND goes on a run but if i do watch it, NYK takes a lead. Weird

turn it off

Naaah im gonna experiment and try to watch the entire 3rd quarter to see of NY makes q comeback

[scrabbarista]

Ben Sheppard with another +15 in 8 minutes of action. Even with 3 fouls, dude is out there contributing.

Carlisle used his brain real good there.

[doogie_hauser]

Obi Toppin being a valuable role player off the bench for the Pacers is also an indictment on Thibs.

[jokeboy86]

Feel bad for Thibs. After having the most successful Knicks season in 25 years he’s probably going to get immense heat if this series doesn’t go at least 6 and if they get swept it’ll be like they didn’t even get to the ECF for some fans.

its almost like Thibs players suffer from fatigue in the playoffs for some unknown reason.

my thoughts are that this knicks team would not have beaten boston without thibs. i think he has them overachieving and he hid the weaknesses for as long as he could

And also Mazzula was a stubborn idiot.

[JustBuzzin]

KD for Towns who says no?

[3ddman23]

Okc will sweep indy

I was thinking they would handle Indy quite easy as well but that blow out lose to Minny last night made me reconsider it.

[Slacktard]

So a team was plagued by needing more depth and overplaying guys last year, proceeded to in the off-season trade quantity for quality and now sees itself looking tired and depleted deep into a playoff run.

Oh and one of those 'quality' pieces for the quantity was played 13 minutes in the first half of game 3 with the Knicks losing their first two at home after he was taken out for increasing amounts of time in game 2 while the Pacers abused match-ups to the tune of a -20 plus/minus for him.

[Zeno]

You need at least an 8 man rotation to win a chip in today's NBA. Celtics had it last year, Minnesota, OKC and Indy have it. The Lakers and Knicks don't.

Their starting 5 is failing, so for them the issue is more than just depth.

[RookieStar]

Lol... every time i skip/watch something else rather than the game, IND goes on a run but if i do watch it, NYK takes a lead. Weird

Sunday night is a good night to catch up on the LotR trilogy, methinks.

Im gonna experiment and watch the 3rd quarter

[Iwasawitness]

Haliburton is King of New York. Reggie was King since the 90s.

Go choke on a banana

I don't but that because I peel them before eating. Maybe that's your problem.

Definitely ironic a Knicks fan making choking jokes

And a pretty pathetic response too. Take the L with dignity.

just like TNT reggie, Stan, shaq, pork chop, and the nba want you to do. enjoy New York losing. enjoy our pain. this is the business model

[Patches Perry]

KAT is so talented offensively and he is way underachieving and deserves blame for that, but some of the blame falls on Thibs. It seems like KAT is being put in the most difficult situations possible to get good looks. Coach has to set the table a little bit.

so i dont think brunson is a good pg. he's more iverson scorer.

That's probably true. They need to pair him with someone who takes the playmaking burden from Brunson.

[SerialChiller]

If we turn this around you know God is a Knick fan because we're getting cooked

Based on the last like 50 years I think it's safe to assume he's not a Knicks fan.

There are some forces even too great for divine providence.

Just picturing God like "YOU HAVE GOT TO BE **** KIDDING ME WITH THAT TRADE. I SWEAR THIS IS MY LAST SEASON."

So maybe kinda like Stephen A?

[jokeboy86]

You need at least an 8 man rotation to win a chip in today's NBA. Celtics had it last year, Minnesota, OKC and Indy have it. The Lakers and Knicks don't.

Even Denver had it with Brown, Green and Braun able to give some good minutes when they won.

[XTC]

Knicks are gonna win this one. Pacers too cocky.

[___Rand___]

See? I said Towns won't be so bad guarding Pascal. Towns being longer bothers Pascal.

[rockmanslim]

Brunson throwin up some trash

[Iwasawitness]

One player I’ve been very, very wrong about is Myles Turner.

He is a bad dude. And I was always in the camp that Jarrett Allen was a superior player to him. I don’t think I agree with that anymore.
