If the Knicks can outscore the Pacers by 1 point in game 5 they’ll be in the drivers seat again.
Mike left out the fact that the Knicks are depleted,not enough depth.And yes the narrative will be about Thibs but what’s he’s supposed to do…..🤷♂️
Knicks are toast…. Now I’m gonna go make toast.
Thibs ran the starters into the ground.
There isn’t a single media member (other than maybe McAfee, who’s an Indianapolis guy) that wants to say anything nice about the Pacers. Even if the Pacers win the series the narrative will be that the Knicks were too banged up and the Pacers caught some lucky breaks.
It was really close to being 3-0 at the end of game 3. Indy did what they were supposed to do. They defended home court. Now it’s a series again.
Pacers are a good team. Julius Randle, – Allstar, Mitchell Robinson – pre ankle injury, one of the best offensive rebounders in the league, serious shot blocker and cleaning up around the rim. OG – the 2nd most important player on the team – minus Julius – defensive problem for every team. Bojan Bogdanovic – rotation sniper. Brunson – hurt. The Knicks had a tremendous year, in spite of all of the above. Great group, great character, however this series ends, this season was a success. Thibs has no choice point, has to play who is available and capable.
They were bound to have a blunder game…they will be fine
This is all on Thibbs. he recklessly runs his players into the ground until there is nothing left. I think this should be his last year. he is stubborn and won't change. his style will never win championships.
Pacers gained confidence when OG got hurt just as they did when Dame and Giannis got hurt. Even the best teams need a little luck
Wait a minute. Score in Game 3 was tied. So not at all guaranteed Knicks win the game if Nemhard misses that shot. Likely we go into overtime, and Knicks are already fading in the fourth, which allowed Pacers to rally and put themselves in a position to win. In overtime, we can expect the extra five minutes to favor the fresher Pacers over the exhausted, depleted Knicks.
I’m sick of people blaming Thibs. They make millions of dollars to play every game as much and as hard as they can. To play for the team. He is not the problem. Players play. Or stop playing because they tweaked something. Middle school kids care more than some of these pros but y’all blame the coach for soft individuals and weak mindsets. They are professionals. Stop blaming the coach
Easy to suddenly gain confidence when u see the other teams top guy limping around
People give the Pacers zero credit😂. They are a good team and can play with anyone. And at this point in the playoffs, any team can win.. Knicks fans need to be humble.
Pacers ain’t that great . It’s just unfortunate that the Knicks have so many injuries to key players
This is a result of 2 things… #1 the way they constructed this roster. Stop praising Leon Rose when he only put 1 shot creator on the whole roster, that tells you he doesn’t know how to construct a roster that makes sense. Shot creation is the #1 skillset for any Guard or Wing in today’s NBA Game. The game of Basketball requires initiators, always has & always will. You can’t have only 1 initiator on the whole roster that plays from the perimeter. That’s way too much on Brunson who is more of an SG in a PG’s body than a PG or playmaker. #2 Thibs is still Thibs! All those regular season games going 100mph & playing his starters 38-40 minutes is backfiring.
