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

[BrianInPhilly]

Hali & Nembhard looked scared to take shots towards the end...hesitated to take shots on decent looks and Myles Turner ended up taking some bad shots due to this

Agree, I really don't get it ... There was one specific play with a few minutes left, Siakam was trapped up top, passed to Nembhard in a 4 on 3 situation and he just paused, let the D' catch up and continued to pass the ball around ... They were playing WAY TOO PASSIVE offensively instead of attacking. Was hard to watch. There was another play when Siakam shot a 20 footer with the shot clock running down - they were taking too long to get into their sets.

If Hali wants to become a superstar, he cannot be afraid to take big shots

Love the Knicks fans lol.

Barkley saying it like it is. Brunson is a problem for the Knicks. Needs to stop pounding the ball.

When he sits they play better defense and actually move the ball.
They don't run an offense when he is in the game.

Brunson has a little Luka/Harden in him if we’re being honest. He’s just less of a playmaker/passer then them

Exactly.

I love Brunson and he is capable of making passes, but I think he locks in on shooting a bit too much at times.

Luka will dominate the ball and hunt shots but if there's a clear pass to make, he'll make it. I think Brunson could be slightly better with that.

Still, a phenomenal player IMO.

Need to build on this in game 4 or this will be all for naught, but hopefully that opened the flood gates.

Thibs needs to tell Brunson to stop hogging the ball he isn't on that level where you accept it. The offense stops completely whenever Brunson is on the court this series.

Gotta love people who haven't seen a knicks game before repeating what some idiot talking head said. Lemme guess, was it Shaq?

They doubt Brunson. They complain about his fouls. They make excuses for why we won.

You're right. Keep pounding that ball Jalen.

These Knicks fans are crazy

[LFGK]

Knicks win game 4 and the pacers are in a world of trouble

[xxSnEaKyPxx]

I’ve never seen the Pacers so scared to shoot before. It’s like they were playing hot potato the entire second half until there was 5 seconds on the shot clock.

[NiceLikeChrist]

Chuck is correct. Thibs makes adjustments when he’s forced to.

He was today, but for what it’s worth, he’s made more big shots than anyone else this season. Including numerous in the playoffs.

We all of a sudden played the guys who can stick your wings

I expect a counter and we're still in a big hole but those adjustments should have come much sooner.

They had zero flow down the stretch and seemed shook. Not sure what happened there.

[YogurtProducer]

Am i going crazy or do they keep calling Delon Wright Dorrell?

It's unreasonable that their names were so close. I was doing this all game in my head.

[GeorgeSears]

Nuggets should trade Zeke Nnaji for Obi Toppin. He's 3 years younger and an NBA champion. Who says no?

[durden_tyler]

Lost my bet today but series bet still alive! Good job New York!

We got ourselves a series now both East and West. Hopefully Knicks and Wolves back take the next games; I want both series to go to 7!

[cgf]

Wright or Deuce or both should be on the court for most of the game. No Payne.

Yes to Shamet.

At this point, are you guys starting to trust Thibs to make the necessary adjustments when we're forced into them? Or is it still just me

Why must he wait until he's forced

Ib for coach!

So he doesn't tip his hand? Because old habits die hard? Because values continuity? Maybe he thinks it's good for morale to wait until circumstances force changes to the status quo?

Or he's trying to get back at all of us who have talked s*** about him

[threethehardway]

Lol, I always said the Pacers are a passive front running team due to their best player being a passive front runner.

As soon as things get tough and the juice stop flowing, they fold.

Unless, Hali pulls something out of his ass when nothing really matters and he can save his pretty stat lines and look good on the stat sheet.

Sad thing is, the Knicks are also front runners that rely on Jalen Brunson going 1 on 5 because the Knicks pretty much built the a bizarro version of the 01 76ers.

Delon never should have come out of the rotation when JB came back
