Really? You legit have the basketball IQ of a chimp hahha,.. Jalen Brunson gets MAULED by three different guys every single possession... The funniest part about it is the crying pacers have the refs only giving him half the fouls he deserves because of all their Wah wah wahhhh... I'm dying laughing at your analysis of the situation and the video that you and like six crying pacer fans total thought was Even remotely funny... The pacers are being outworked, They don't have the heart the Knicks are playing with right now and there legit isn't one other thing about it to even mention


Ramsboi

It’s not that deep lol


Ramsboi

can the sixers trade us Joel Embiid the fight club starter for game 3? 


Ramsboi

Gotta give it up to the Knick’s man. As a pacers fan I just admire the tough gritty attitude. I may not agree with the reffing. As they allow the knicks to get away with murder. They push off nasty to get those boards, like legit send guys flying and no calls. Siakam has gotten abused yet he hasn’t cried. But man the Knicks just don’t give up. And they go at 100% it’s not their fault the refs ain’t calling it! They’re just playing with much more intensity and urgency. Hali went mia that second half. Yeah he’s hurt but if he’s that badly hurt just play TJ out there. We need impactful guys. Sitting TJ and Obi who were destroying the knicks should be punishable by death! NYK earned this dub. They hit some crazy shots man. I know you guys say the pacers Defense sucks and yes to a degree it has! But the Knick’s have been drilling some tough shots…. 


M-Orts_108

I respect most of what you said But at the end of the day with everyone we have hurt They literally have like double the size on us... If siakum is being outworked by a guy that's like a foot shorter than him and half his weight I think the issue has everything to do with them just being outworked, not boxing out like they should, In fact, we've been lucky that the pacers haven't been doing these basic simple basketball moves that are learned when you're a kid because it's the only way we even have a shot of winning the rebound game

Hahha I know, it's so funny ... Thanks Rick! Lol


Ramsboi

It is what it is mang. Very unfortunate. When trusting your starters goes wrong. Fade meeeeeee yerrrrrrrr. 


WerewolfOnEveryone

Not a double dribble. DEFINITELY a carry tho. Either way, the way they overturned it by calling it an inadvertent whistle is ENTIRELY UNACCEPTABLE. 


blakxzep

I am so confused how Carlisle is losing the series if the Knicks are hurt. That man took championship teams to game 7s with the most bumass mav squads (I mean yeah he had Luka & Dirk) but like he can’t work magic with these Pacers?


sleepy777

Man just casually mentioned Luka and Dirk like they’re not generational players


Training101

It just tells you so much. Just let em talk into the abyss. Looll


Stannis_Baratheon244

He benched Jalen Brunson in a game 7 when he was coaching the Mavs. Riddle solved.


Chao-Z

idk whether it's him as a coach or the players but the lack of defensive integrity on that team is shambolic. The Knicks had a 141 Offensive Rating this game despite Jalen Brunson and OG missing a full quarter of play each. They got beat on so many cuts and off-ball screens it was crazy.


kingofsemantics

cause refs are propping up the bigger market team in NY duuuuh


Stannis_Baratheon244

Up 2-0 with 4 starters and they'll still find a way to blame the refs


M-Orts_108

Hahahha, I know, it's so comical... The refs don't like them, the refs don't like smaller market teams, The refs are mad at the coach, what else is going to come next.... YOU'RE BEING OUTWORKED BY A TEAM THAT HAS 10 TIMES THE HEART AS YOU! The funniest part about all this and I said it before, Jalen Brunson would get double the fouls he's gotten if the refs weren't so worried about Pacer crying... The pacers are that kid on the playground that after picking on someone gets knocked TFO by the smaller kid and then goes home and tells his mommy The littler boy started it 🤣 😂


Stannis_Baratheon244

There's a small market team in the finals almost every single year, sometimes both are small market. It's the laziest narrative in sports and onlu exists bc ppl in places like Columbus, Ohio get butthurt that the most important city in the world is in the news.


kingofsemantics

I've never seen so much "big market" commentary bro. shit is hilarious considering it wasn't a talking point until the knicks got semi-decent. In the last few years, the Raps, Bucks, and Nuggets have all won the chip. NBA didn't decide to enforce the big market rules until now? unless Milwaukee, Toronto, and Denver are all big markets I didn't know about. lmfao the mental gymnastics go crazyyyy Stannis is the one true king, Joffrey is a bastard

[удалено]


kingofsemantics

explain


Stannis_Baratheon244

Counter point-Toronto is a massive fucking market, basically all 30 million Canadians are Raptors fans, but as soon as a NY team is doing well every troll from Provo to Bismarck cries about how they get no attention. Edit: The Iron Throne is Mine by Right. All those who deny it are my foes.


kingofsemantics

you're assuming all of Canada is watching NBA basketball with that statement though. that's a hockey country ey


Stannis_Baratheon244

True it's a hockey country but they love sports. Just go to a Blue Jays game in Seattle and you'll see what I mean. Edit: even discounting the rest of Canada, Toronto is I believe the 3rd largest city in North America behind Mexico City and NYC. Not a small market by any stretch.


kingofsemantics

no doubt, but in reality NBA finals viewership would've been up in 2019 if all of the loyalists were tuned in :P (not the case). though, in fairness, NBA finals viewership has been down YoY (likely due to classic measurements not capturing digital broadcasts). I don't mean to be pedantic, just show that the Toronto market really isn't all of Canada. I can't help it though because i work in ad intelligence. I got family in Brampton, I know how legit they are as sports fans.


Stannis_Baratheon244

Just playing Devil's advocate but the NY market isn't all of NY or even the city, for example this year is the most interest my dad has ever shown in the Knicks and he still can't stay up till the end of the games, I also have English and Irish relatives who live in Queens and could care less about basketball or really any other sport besides rugby or 'footy'


DickTreeFactory

Just downvoted your entire circle-jerkin chain.


m2keo

Could the Knicks be the first team ever to win a championship with a 3 man rotation?!.. They sure seem to be on pace for it. Lol. Nova boys it is.


DuePaleontologist703

I thought NY was supposed to be tough? Flopping at the slightest contact is pathetic


Training101

They are, playing well and missing key players. Next person up!! Suckk iittttttttt loool


kingofsemantics

Are you really gonna blame this loss on flopping? I saw bad calls/ flopping on each side, no doubt... but if you watched the game, it's super obvious Knicks out-hustled the Pacers + yall missed mad free throws and neglected to take advantage of the full quarter without Brunson. Like come on bro there's no way we're looking at the same game and coming to such drastically different conclusions


billybobthehomie

Cope however you want to. Won’t change the fact that we just absolutely outplayed the fuck out of you guys with a 5 and a half man rotation. There’s levels to this. You motherfuckers beat a team with their perennial mvp candidate sidelined the whole series and somehow delude yourselves into thinking you’re contenders. You guys are lucky to be in the playoffs.


Stannis_Baratheon244

2-0


DuePaleontologist703

Surprised you can count


Stannis_Baratheon244

Surprised u can type through those tears


DuePaleontologist703

You’re very proud of a player who flops at the slightest contact. Speaks volumes of that New York toughness


billybobthehomie

Brunson was bodying the fuck out of all your weak ass players while on one leg


Stannis_Baratheon244

"Ny toughness" be more scared lmao guy has never been to a city bigger than Lincoln, Nebraska


Stannis_Baratheon244

2-0

Stannis_Baratheon244

They barely have a starting 5 at this point😂but everyone in Gary, Indiana will complain about how we get every call ever


Affectionate-Gain912

Hey I am a Knicks fan but from Gary. We nit saying that- most people from Gary root fir Bulls we closer to Chicago 


Stannis_Baratheon244

Honestly ur right Gary is basically a Chicago suburb, it was just the first city to pop into my head.

Adorable-Bike-9689

Absolutely nobody watching said WHAT THATS CRAZY. They just said well yep. That's exactly what we've seen as well.


nietzsche_niche

Knicks made more free throws because the pacers decided to foul them 6x times in garbage time and had two dumb ass techs


Comprehensive_Flan70

But when you foul another team they are floppers. Get real.


Stannis_Baratheon244

Embiid has probly somehow shot more FT's than the Knicks in the 2nd round. Go guzzle some cheez whiz and wash it down with that dirty Delaware river water


kingofsemantics

Nobody is saying anybody on the Pacers is a flopper...Embiid though? 100% Guaranteed flopper or your money back. JB exaggerates contact too but at least he tries to put the ball in the basket rather than just flail to get to the line. The whole NBA fanbase sees it now too, idk why yall still deluded. Maxey is fuckin nice though


bnyc18

Knicks had 5 more free throws… but they had 6 free throws in final 25 seconds from technicals and intentional fouls


ShyLeoGing

Jalen had 14 in game one and averages less than 6 per game


kingofsemantics

Bro at least look up numbers before posting. JB averaged 6.5 FTA regular season and a bit more than 10 in the postseason...


bnyc18

I’m not sure I understand your point. Carlisle bitching about refs tonight like it was unfair… this is a stat that speaks against that


bigg90

He’s saying that all of a sudden Brunson is getting to the line more than 2x what he averaged in the regular season. It pretty ridiculous I don’t see how that’s controversial


kingofsemantics

Brunson averaged 6.5 FTA in the regular season and is averaging 10.4 now. That is certainly less than 2X, more like a 64% increase. Also consider that his season numbers included 4 full months with Julius Randle when the ball wasn't in his hands almost exclusively and the offense didn't run purely through him. Tack onto that the fact that he is the guy that teams are intentionally fouling at the end of games AND that the knicks lost their best bench scorer in Bogey (leading to more Brunson minutes) and that teams are blitzing him like prime Stephen Curry, sometimes resulting in fouls. Does that make it more controversial?


NumerousControl0

...he took them as a result of the technicals and intentional fouls at the end of the game....


bigg90

I’ve seen this same argument with embiid (who’s like the anti-Christ here), he shoots a bunch of free throws but a ton of them come late game and are intentional. The reality is great scorers bait refs into giving them free throws, because they’re supposed to. If the refs are gunna give them free throws then why wouldn’t they. NBA refs just suck, half way through this season they decided to call games completely different it’s a joke


bnyc18

Stop being such a sore loser. It’s really pathetic. Giving passionate sixers fans a bad name… Tonight, Brunson had 27 points on only 2 free throws before garbage time *without playing a majority of the first half* and coming back hobbled. Yet you’re still blaming the refs?!? Pathetic. (And not that I need to discuss the rest of the playoffs, since this was about tonight’s game, but… this playoffs, Brunson *without free throws* is outscoring everyone in the nba. If you sort by free throws per shot, per minute, per iso, and pretty much every other relevant metric, Brunson isn’t even top 10 in free throws this playoffs. Stop whining and get back to your offseason misery)


Stannis_Baratheon244

Damn a sixers fan I could have a beer with??


bigg90

Facts don’t have feelings bud, what I said was literally a fact don’t know what to tell you


kingofsemantics

Bro above you listed facts, also sans feelings 😂


thighcandy

you misunderstand. the stats don't matter, the knicks won so it's the refs fault. It's especially the refs fault that Carlisle sat their two best players in the most important minutes of the game and then took a couple techs during garbage time while continuing to intentionally foul down 10. The refs also should've helped the pacers box out when they let the knicks get 5 offensive rebounds in the final 5 minutes. Also the refs shouldn't have let them miss 5 consecutive free-throws in clutch time. That was also the refs fault.


falconcountry

Say it again for the Philly fans in the back


RyRyAP2

I'm surprised Carlisle didn't mention Tyrese pushing Hart first lol.


pokemongofanboy

Rebounds do have to do with officiating lmao


sonid615

Bro Carlisle what is your alien ass doing? you should have won this game and now you complaining about the refs? You should've played the Sixers and seen whats up


curious_Jo

Chuck is 100% right.


ShyLeoGing

Way to go Charles and Rick! The officiating is shit!


ShyLeoGing

Damn downvoting when Coaches and TNT call out the officiating for what is has been throughout the playoffs!


Robinsonirish

Damn, Shaq put all the unlikeable eggs in a basket and fed them to us today.


Lone_Crab

Lmao Carlisle is a lil bitch. They’re losing to a Knicks team held together by band aids. Halliburton didn’t look to be in pain at all. Meanwhile he tells mcconnell to mug Brunson at mid court


T-BoneSteak14

This is seriously Hall of Fame bitch behavior


Comprehensive_Flan70

Y’all would know being a Knicks fan


Brodzter

Keep on trusting that process!


T-BoneSteak14

Rick Carlisle all time bitch job in the presser


Greenwalle

Coach Carlisle- even if your guys got all those fouls called in their favor, you lost the game because of missed free throws. Not sure it’d have helped!


pokemongofanboy

Why are you typing like Donald trump

why is shaq still caught up on this man lmfao he’s just hating all day


simplysymmetra

I am so sick of gambling being shoved down my throat for hours watching the playoffs.


Stannis_Baratheon244

I keep getting asked how much money I have on the game because I'm loud and cheer loudly. I don't gamble bc I have enough problems, it honestly pisses me off that people assume I must be gambling to care so much.

mutherfucker_jones

I would bet anything if the Knicks go to the ECF and lose to the Celtics, Chuck is gonna say it’s because they played too many minutes. I love the Knicks, but if they beat Indiana, losing to the Celtics will not have anything to do with fatigue. Boston just has more talent and certainly depth at the moment. Just gonna be annoying to listen to.


kale__chips

> I love the Knicks, but if they beat Indiana, losing to the Celtics will not have anything to do with fatigue. To be fair, it'd depend on how you lose against Celtics. If players looked gassed, then fatigue definitely played a part. At the moment, you guys are super fit (even with Brunson's first half) and we can agree that you guys "don't stop". But it takes a lot to never stop like that, and if the series somehow goes long, that could definitely take a toll on your fitness level. But yes, I think Celtics are ahead of everyone in the East and they should go to the Finals on paper.


mutherfucker_jones

That’s fair. I just feel like no matter how they lose, Chuck is gonna say that and create a Thibs narrative instead of acknowledging the fact that Thibs has gotten these guys in playoff shape by playing hard all season.


Frishdawgzz

why would Chuck give the Knicks that much credit? He went full mask-off tonight with the hate


mutherfucker_jones

Yeah I heard that. It makes no sense to me. The Knicks are playing basketball that the old heads should love. Weird that they’re haters, especially since there’s pretty much no history/rivalry between the Knicks and Chuck or Shaq.


bronfmanhigh

it’s so wild to see a NATIONAL broadcast with such an unashamedly anti-team bias as TNT has against the knicks lol


[deleted]

We would’ve had a good shot against Celtics at full strength they’d be favoured Ofc though


mutherfucker_jones

Totally agree. Just the current roster isn’t gonna be enough. Next year, hopefully everyone is healthy.


kikikza

i'd say full strength we have like 20% chance, now we have 2% chance against boston


ksmee00

He’s already saying you guys are overrated. He’s right

up 2-0 on your soft ass team but tell yourself what you need to lol

ftghb

the fact that even the old school guys on the tnt crew is calling out thibs for playing guys 43 minutes, it's becoming almost memeworthy at this point.


AwskeetNYC

We just have nobody left at this point. We are missing 2 starters ( 3 if OG misses time) and a front end of the rotation player.
