Bro, you are about to jinx this Pacers team. Last thing we need is Burks and DiVencenzo leading a last minute comeback against this team.
I feel like Knicks need to get rid of Tom Thibedeau but at the same time could another coach gotten as much out of this team as he did?
Knicks fans actually being cool and clapping for their team after a blowout game 7 loss at MSG is a bit surprising.
It's like nobody in NY knows they lost to a 6 seed. This was a major choke by Brunson and crew. And although the East is soft, the future doesn't look promising. They need a star who can carry them to loftier heights.
Uhh, they had basically half of their rotation either out for the season (Randle, Robinson, Bogdanovic) or playing badly or partially hurt (OG, Hart, Brunson) It's actually a miracle they took game 5. It's not the players fault they ran out of bodies and gas
Pacers is a bad defensive team. But if their offense is clicking, they can blow anybody out. I think they'll win at least two games against the Celtics, if their main players are all healthy. Maybe more.
They should cheer hard for them because the guys played their hearts out. Only reason the Pacers won the series is because the Knicks were decimated by injuries. Otherwise, Pacers would have been lucky to win more than one game IMO. The series could have been a sweep for the Knicks. Instead of an opponent, Celtics have an appetizer in the ECFs.
Agreed and the Knicks were exhausted as a result -- I don't believe the Pacers would be in the ECF without catching some huge breaks. They are a solid team, but the overall talent just isn't there imo.
The Pacers finished 3 games behind the Knicks, and that was only because Haliburton missed a MONTH with a hammy.
Knicks were tired, but I also saw some scared players, particularly Hartenstein. My god he was useless. The moment definitely was too big for him. Credit to the Pacers though, that was an insane shooting display. Hope they can beat the Celtics.
I am glad the Pacers prevailed. I still don't like the Knicks, going all the way back to the Ewing era. But unless the entire Boston team gets a week long stomach virus, Indiana doesn't have a chance in the next round.
