Indiana Pacers outpaced by the Knicks | Choke away a double-digit lead.

Indiana Pacers outpaced by the Knicks | Choke away a double-digit lead.

Uh losing is what got us here uh none of us feel good about it uh this is you know where we are you are what your record is you are what has happened you know recently uh but things can change quickly you know once we um uh welcome ladies and gentlemen to the

Lounge Tony what’s popping with you brother what’s good Sim I’m feeling good nine in a row N in a row yeah who have thought it you know what I mean who would have thought that the Knicks would have been as good as they are right now

When we started the season I don’t think anybody would have thought that but here we are you know I mean one of the right now the hottest team in the league uh clearly one of the best teams in the league um and when they decide to do the next Power

Rankings Nicks gota be up there you know I mean they might have the Nicks as top three in the league next Power Rankings you know what I mean and and all these people who were uh you know saying all this all all this stuff about jayen Brunson and they

Can kick rocks every single one of them cuz jayen Brunson is a beast you know what I mean he a beast can’t nobody stop him next the next uh the next stop is uh MVP award you dig I I don’t put it past him maybe

Not this year but I do not put it past him to win an MVP award you know what I mean and if the Knicks keep winning and he keeps cooking you know what I’m saying yeah he he might be he might be ready to get an

MVP award but he at least has to be in in in in the conversation right now you know what I mean I don’t know when that race is going to begin and all of that stuff but he at least has got to be in the conversation you know so um

Yeah let’s get it let’s get it man let’s get it let me see where we starting at right here boom my man goat said I searched up wi since 2000 on stat Muse couldn’t even unlock the Knicks without subscription that were so far there you go tell Tony I said look

Up the wins in 2024 my guy you know and welcome to the losers Lounge right I mean 15 six 15 and two hold on how many championships the Pacers got oh same about as me I think yeah so what are they talking about who cares about them damn wins those wins mean

Nothing anymore they’re gone they don’t exist those were character building seasons for us you know what I’m saying you know the Pacers have zero championships I think they made it to the championship once right with Reggie Miller did they against who I Eastern Conference Finals I don’t think they

Made it to the final maybe they didn’t maybe they didn’t for some reason I thought they made it to the finals one year n because I would think I would remember who beat him yeah maybe they didn’t maybe they didn’t let’s see somebody said finals once who they play

Who beat them 2000 the Lakers beat him oh that makes sense yep in 2000 because the Knicks made it in 99 that’s right and they made it in 2000 is that their only finals appearance let me see how many they got the Pacers have appeared in the NBA

Eastern Conference Finals eight times 94 95 98 99 2000 2004 2013 2014 they played in the in the 2000 NBA Finals once one time so you know sorry goat but you know your team they haven’t been that good throughout history either in the 90s but that’s it look up

Championships too right right because they have zero champ I mean they only went to the finals once they have zero were they were the Pacers in the ABA I don’t know I can’t I I think so I’m not sure Indiana I can’t imagine Indiana being an AB8 unless they were you know somewhere

Else Pacers I thought maybe they were but you know maybe not maybe not um said yeah who who did Ohad they were an ABA team okay I don’t know if they want anything in ABA either Chris said I feel more sure no now knowing the Nicks Community is led by a

Classless CC it all makes sense now what is a classless CC he got his own language own class clown maybe that’s the I guess maybe a Class Clown who would that be I don’t know who he was talking about I mean it all makes sense now brain fart

Is what I’m assuming is the Emojis he must have had one I guess right I mean we either led by tibs or we led by Brunson either way we being led in the right direction right Ohad said the Pacers won three AB a chips they won three AA chips okay all

Right we’ll give him that we’ll give him that uh big said next time wait till the game is over before you go into our community talk trash let’s go Nick let’s go next so what was going on so what what what did the Pacers fans do I didn’t I didn’t check our community

But you know the Knicks was all over the pacis community as we are in every we we’re starting to show up everywhere so and anytime we get a wi we in the community but um apparently they was over an hours too early in the game you know talking

Smack you know and here you go yeah I mean you know that you know the Nicks and Pacers got a still the Rival exist for you know I mean for it’s been existing for a while I can remember remember just you know anytime I would see somebody in New

York with a Pacers Jersey on I was like how could you even even fathom wearing a Reggie Miller Jersey here you know what I’m saying I had no words for it I couldn’t believe it I couldn’t believe so they they was winning they chips when we was winning

Ours okay yeah they was winning there in the ABA we was winning ours in the NBA so there you go you know I mean so you know they got some ABA chips I guess you know what I mean they got them that’s all right that’s cool you know we rock with

That JP said damn nicker bacher’s really desperate for attention probably treat the Joels 76ers game like the chip too uh Joel was there my guy pay attention Joel was in that game right I mean and that was 35 then we beat the chance my thing is other people’s

Why why do other people’s fan bases other teams fan bases get so mad because Nicks fans celebrate because we enjoy our team I don’t understand it like why are you mad about it you know when when y’all win y y happy y’all celebrate you know what I’m

Saying like you know what what is the issue don’t make no sense makes no no no no sense at all everybody always mad at Nick’s fans you I mean and and and all we do is you know we just love our team Pacers chips are

Goldplated I mean we we just we we just love our we just love our team man this guy these Nicks fans are ignorant the Lakers just beat Boston with no ad or Lebron like one game matters long season see that’s how I know yall not ready cuz every game

Matters and that’s and that’s how we play every game matters every game matters you know what I’m saying all these people commenting is because they know the Knicks right now are tough and that they got to deal with Nicks fans all season long you know what I mean that’s that’s

That’s the reason why they saying all this garbage cuz they don’t want to hear from Nicks fans all season long and and and they know the Nicks are for real you know what I’m saying they know the Nicks are for real Joe long said losers yeah that’s what they

Are you know saying they you know they they they got a team I mean I ain’t got to say that they’re bums the Pacers they’re a good basketball team but you know we like our team better than you like yours how about that and Malik Nicks fan put up Nicks

Are coming well he is Nicks are coming put up the choke sign you know um now we here gota change your handle my guy we here yeah I mean they choked away the Pacers choked away what was it a 15-point lead yep right they choked away a

15-point lead uh you know the Knicks had the the the go you know the the the the will to come back and and um you know take over the game how much how much do you attribute it to AR halberton not playing in the second half or barely playing the second

Half or whatever I mean we were still we were still fighting our way back when he was still there I I think I want to say we got it to at least six maybe even three so I think we was we was was this guy’s handle the Knicks was coming no

Matter what right whether hbert was there or not we was still we was still come coming back so I mean we know who we are and and and the world’s about to learn let’s get to a caller caller you live man let me where you from please hey it’s Joe in California Joe

Long you just made mention of me in their chat so I figured I’d call you Joe what’s going on with you man how you feeling H it’s it’s still only 10 o’clock here you guys must be pretty tired by now man you know I’m a night

Owl so I stay up all night I probably I’m probably not going to get to sleep till 4:30 cuz when I when I’m done here I’ll probably go grab something to eat and play chess oh my gosh I didn’t know you play what’ you say Joe I said you got a

Partner that’ll stay up and play with you that long n I’m normally I’m normally just playing online either playing it you know playing against the computer or sometimes I’ll play against someone that’s online yeah yep well I tell you what I’m just these guys guys are just shocking

The hell out of me like every game I’m just getting more and more shocked because I remember when they had this kind of a chemistry on a team and it’s it was back when you know de busher played and Willis Reed and Walt Frasier ear Monroe you know like Bill Bradley Senator

Bill you know and it’s like I just can’t believe what I’m seeing now because it’s so similar like they’re they’re all about the chemistry and they work hard for each other they’re playing defense like I’ve not seen them ever you know everyone talks about the 90s Nicks well

They didn’t have the kind of leadership uh you know Ying was great but he wasn’t really a leader like right like like this guy you know Brunson is just he wants it more than anybody on the court every minute he’s on the court you know

Like I just don’t want to see him go to the allstar game and make friends with these enemies know you know what I mean like I love his Bulldog yeah you know the Knicks back then you know I was a little younger back then and didn’t really

Focus on it that way but when you think about it they really didn’t have that kind of a leader yeah I don’t think they had will re was the leader for the Knicks back in the 70s right right it was it was Willis he was the guy yeah I don’t think they had

That kind of leader into um maybe Dennis Harper from from Dallas yeah Derek harer Derek harer Derek harer yeah yeah yeah but I still don’t you know like they weren’t good enough to even you know try and justify a leader you know like it they just

Didn’t have a team you know and uh that that coach you know that was grabbing Jordan by the leg or whatever that guy was C Van Gundy come on man van gundi you know you know tibs is from that tree he probably loves Brunson you

Know oh my gosh you gotta know he loves Brunson yeah he’s a funny guy I like listening to him do games you know but anyway I’m just uh I’m just so thrilled with the chemistry that because you know chemistry doesn’t just happen it takes a

While so you know I I for one had had been very hard the last couple years uh on tip Tibido and uh you know like he’s really showing that this team is playing for him and they’re playing hard like I I don’t remember the Knicks ever playing

This hard those 90 Knicks played hard but they didn’t have talent like this team has a doggedness like Randall is just as much a bulldog as as is you know so you have two guys like that on your team it’s a great thing you know and you

Know and anobi who has no ego and just wants to play stop his man right I mean if we can get one more athlete like that in the front Court that’s like a power forward we can get one more guy like that you know that doesn’t care about

Points he wants to stop his opponent you know and then let the game come to him offensively that then we’re going to be sitting pretty and and if we have to move like we can I can be okay with moving Grimes and fornier and and Mitch

Robinson and some picks to get a guy like that but I mean who is it I don’t know yet you know and and we might not need to make any changes this year maybe we’ll see what the playoffs how this how this chemistry how far it takes them but

You know like they’re G to have guys coming back and you know we’ll see maybe Mitchell Robinson will see that he’s got to work a little harder on the rest of his game instead of just rebounding you know I mean like look at look at what hardenstein did led the team and assist

Tonight right you know right how do you feel about is this you know just been a lot of talk even in the last show that I did on the postgame show you know I seen someone in the chat say um if he had to choose between hartenstein and and Mitch he’s choosing

Hartenstein absolutely I have no quals with that I I would prefer it because right now that’s the chemistry hardenstein is the heart and soul you know hardenstein hard and soul yeah seriously I mean like 19 rebounds six assists what else what else do you measure yeah 12 points 12

Points yeah blocks a couple I think he had and and I like Sims so I mean you know and at at whatever he the sneezing guy the way I remember his name you know he’s actually coming along like really well you know like this guy is starting

To see what he can do to fit in and and that’s what an an anob did too same thing you know so just call him precious pressure precious oh precious yeah it’s going precious that’s you know it’s going precious that’s right I know pretty weird name for guy but what are you

Going to do his mom figured he was precious yeah he’s a mama’s boy no doubt about it guy like that I I I’m very I’m you know very happy about this basketball team right now yeah I mean I they don’t really have to do anything quite yet you

Know like they’re in a position I heard some guy from Utah is it Stephenson or something like that wants to come to ni is he any good you know who I’m talking about there was a rumor Clarkson Clarkson or something Clarkson that’s it you’re right that’s yeah is he any good

Yeah he’s pretty good he’s pretty good you know he’d be a good guard or an off guard no he’s an off guard he’s an off guard you know is he better than D venzo I don’t I don’t know I don’t think he’s a better fit than Devon jenzo let’s

Say that okay he’s a guy can go out and get you a bucket if you need it you know he can he can go off the dribble he can attack uh you know he’s a guy that’s you know he’s he’s averaged he’s had years where he’s

Averaged a lot of points you know but he’s definitely not a better fit but he’d be uh you know a really good guy to come off the bench okay but I I’m not sure well let’s put it like this I still think the Knicks need a

Creator Off the Bench a ball handler a Malcolm Brogden type of guy off the bench right if they needed a scorer Off the Bench he’d be a good guy to a really good guy to come off the bench if they needed just that guy that can just be a

Microwave type of player you know what I’m saying yeah so you know is he exactly what the Knicks need I don’t know right I don’t think they you know the more that they’re winning and and what I’m seeing from each of them is that they’re just playing for their

Other guy on the team you know like they’re not playing for themselves and that’s huge you know that’s what the Knicks in the 70s were all about like they just they played for each other they didn’t play there was no me on that team you know yeah so if they can get

That kind of chemistry going and play hard on defense that’s what wins championships I don’t care what anyone says it defense wins championships in every sport you know and just just doubt about it that’s just the way it is yeah that’s just the way it is defense wins

Championships and the Knicks got the Knicks got it Bruce Hornsby you know the Knicks got it this year their defense um you know before OG defense was struggling but now the Nicks defens is yeah he’s making it like he’s he’s just trying to fit in he doesn’t have an ego at all about

Scoring and he just wants to stop the other guy from scoring and so how can you not like make that the whole team sees it you know like his hustle he’s he works hard you know and they’re all working hard that’s what’s so amazing is

What we’re seeing right now jeez I is it 11 in a row now that’s crazy n nine nine in a row nine in a row we’re looking for 10 against the um Lakers on Saturday I I can’t see it happening I I hate to say it but you know with all

These injuries if it’s the same lineup tonight I don’t think they’re going to be able to withstand if LeBron plays I heard he was hurt too but if he plays along with the that big boy what’s his name ad they playing yeah Anthony D if he plays they can’t match up they’re

That’s a little too big for them we’ll see hopefully o be back that’ll help well if he’s back that would definitely help but but don’t see a there you know ad is so long you know right he’s a bulb in there and if he wants to play you’re not stopping him he

Doesn’t come to play every night but when he does you know and that’s around the playoffs he’s good so we’ll see we it’s a long way off to that but boy I’m you know the more we’re playing like this the more I’m feeling pretty good about playing the Celtics you know to

They get there yeah let me see hey Joe I appreciate your time man hey I love calling in the show you guys are great enjoy you guys yes sir have a good one peace apprciate you who’s this iconico classic iconic class thank you for the Super Chat definitely appreciate you and then

We got Kade Funkadelic 77 Nicks one notwithstanding the ref’s attempt to hand the Pacers the game and yes they did attempt to hand the Pacers the game Big Miss call yeah the rest were terrible tonight really terrible you I mean and I mean and and and they called down at the

End when they missed um Jaylen Brunson getting smacked in the face like come on man that was crazy yeah Kevin exactly the Lakers no doubt LeBron and AD they’re both playing you know what I mean but the nck got a rematch with these Indiana Pacers you know what I’m saying re Revenge

Match who is this no he said Revenge match coming soon next Saturday is the rematch in the garden we’ll be waiting we’ll be waiting and we should we should just you know we need to put something out and just tell Nick’s fans to go invade all of their

Chats just go invade their chat make them mad let we you know we get more people in arenas let’s get more let’s get more Nicks fans in their chats than their fans every time we gotta play you know what I mean yeah and I keep I keep uh mixing the comments up

Yeah I’m I’m G start doing that s because a lot of times it be funny yeah all right goats said damn bro halberton is so insane he made Nick’s fans think getting 20 assists is light work we we commended him on that game yeah I mean you know that’s

Cool he got you know it’s cool nobody saying nothing about H Burton he got his little 20 assist it’s all right you know his light work 20 minutes right that’s light work right you know speaking of his 20 minutes uh Indie Indie said dumbest dumbest coaching ever same thing versus the Celtics

Played 19 minutes in the first half and three minutes in the third quarter that is dumb though I don’t understand why would you do that you can what 22 minutes yeah 24 I think so why wouldn’t you play him 12 you know play him six minutes in the first six minutes in the

Second six minutes in the third and then the last six minutes of the fourth I told you why son why he he he the coach’s thinking was let me utilize halberton as much as I can and try to get a biggest lead as I can and hopefully we can with withstand

It not knowing that regardless of the leag regardless of the player regardless of the team the Knicks do not stop fighting right we just don’t yeah I mean it just don’t it’s just crazy don’t make any sense that you would not spread the the minutes out more evenly especially knowing the

Restriction like what can he do with four minutes in in the second half right right you know it’s nothing you can do nothing you can do with with with four minutes in the second half nothing it’s that’s ridiculous I if I was a fan I’d be upset

About that too caller you’re live man name me where you from please how you doing I’m keny from Long Island hey what’s going on with you brother how you feeling feeling pretty good um can I talk about the Knicks yes sir thank you um man um it’s uh the culture just changed

Completely I go up the tips I remember uh when he first started here uh everybody was complaining play the young kids and everything um they don’t understand that um he was trying to start a culture over here um you’re not going to get on the court if you don’t

Work hard I remember RJ Barrett uh was um TS said GJ Barrett doesn’t work hard in practice um he’s not here no more I mean um the only reason he played is from politics he was a very high draft pick came over here you know um he was a SP

Little kid coming over here now he has a lot of talent he does have talent but he didn’t work that hard um we got his value up and we traded him um same thing we’re doing with this culture everybody Discerning their minutes is working very hard the miles

McBride he gets on his he got his uh confidence up in the G League he came to the next a couple times called up he didn’t do too well um they traded uh who’s a six man um to Toronto with RJ IQ IQ look at him now he’s uh stepping

Up um you say tibs doesn’t um doesn’t um produce talent doesn’t uh he’s producing Talent he’s uh his T the talent on this team is going up um this is just the beginning this is just the beginning there’s no reason to sign a big time person is it going to

Take us to the playoffs what’s the point of wasting our picks to get something off the bench I’m happy with what we have on the bench um miles McBride we need to this is a business we need to um get more value from him for he could be

A bigger asset or he could stay with the team right now he just signed a three year um as as a from a business standpoint I’m happy how this team is um and in tibs I trust and that’s all I have to say right now guys um I’m looking forward for this

Ride I’m not out I’m not jumping out the window I expected this and is finally paying off those all those hard years watching um him you know doing what he does is finally everybody’s seeing the results now it doesn’t happen like this this is what culture is all about when’s

The last time we have a coach this long since uh not even Jeff Van gun did Jeff Van gy have four years here uh did he have four years he might have had four years he might have right he might have had four years plus he was assistant before he took

Over yes yeah yes so uh great times um the the the front office is working with the coach that was something that we never had um between 2009 till now everybody saying eye to eye this is the Dolan I don’t hear nothing from this man worldwide West you’re not gonna hear

From you’re not gonna hear nothing from James Dolan right now he got a serious court case yeah nothing from Dolan yeah hope hope everything works out for him but uh yeah worldwide West is doing his thing um um I’m sure he has his role is uh basically uh uh smoke

Screens around the league work on trades getting players to come over here um and uh man um Everybody chill out um this is awesome uh this just the beginning we’re trying to build um how you call it um Dynasty a dynasty yes a dynasty we’re

Not trying to win it one year here we’re building something big over here one trade I would do though one trade I would do uh the vent uh Dante is doing well but um I don’t I wouldn’t mind seeing him off the bench but I’m also very I

Want to see how how how well he could do over this time but uh um right now starting because he he’s just building uh a lot of value from himself right now but one guy I will throw everything uh throw a pay over I’ll pay over for this

Man it’s not uh Devin Booker he’s not leaving they just got Kevin Durant mow Bridges maybe you know don’t think is out of question because he’s in Brooklyn the other side maybe but still and they should do something about that contract because uh you know he’s on the right

Timeline and you think they’re going to win you think he’s gonna want to sign there next after two years no I don’t think so he has more value now if they trade him with his contract with I think two years left but let’s see what happens there but this is the man

Memphis doesn’t have a lot of a lot of money man they’re not trying to pay all these players they just did something with Stephen Adams for the for the payroll I think right now John’s out I think we should go for Desmond Bane he’s okay defensively he could defend four

Positions and um he can knock down the shot and he’s a role player he’s not trying to be the man and when he when he need him to step up he’ll step up and he has proven it okay so that’s one guy I would like to have on this team so so so

You would have him over starting over dant chenzo Des been Bane yeah yes I would okay I would have uh I would like you know uh Deon CH is doing very well mhm um let’s see what happens my my my opinion might change he’s doing very

Well I think you know maybe over the summer he BRS up a little more you know but uh yeah so uh you know we do need bench help and he could he could run the one or the two Off the Bench and he could help us out mil MCB could defend the two

You know um he’s interchangeable we got interchangeable parts here so uh yes I would yes no no no I was just GNA say I appreciate your call man I know it’s late probably got some other people want call in too of course what I’m saying No Doubt

Thank you for taking my call appreciate you have a good one brother all right take nice um you know I like Bane more than more than bragon I mean the Desmond Bane thing I mean he fits tibs culture right and in the style of play you do you shake up that starting lineup

For Desmond Bane I don’t think you have to to I think he’s he’s the type of guy that would take the role okay the backup role you know what I mean especially if you if you you I mean it’s all about chemistry like you you know what we

Doing you see what we doing we ain’t trying to mess that up come in fit in you you you’re good enough to play alongside Brunson so if it you know I mean if if if the game warrants you to close you could close you know I mean all

That yeah n that that could be um that’s interesting that’s and mean and if you have to give up like if I don’t know what the cost is for ban I mean for Brogden or or brown or whatever but if there’s a bid in war there I much rather

Hey the cost the bidding World cost on a bane than those other guys would you want Bane more than smart H how old is Desmond Bane and is he the ball handler type of guy that we’re thinking about I guess for the second unit I think he would be fine

And I mean granted they ain’t win much without J but he was running the point when J was out I believe this year cuz because they lost the um the young point guardy right that’d be a thought man that that’d be a thought so I’mma put I’mma put this okay’s contract is

Nuts I don’t I don’t know what it is I mean that’s you always got to take into consideration absolutely um so I ain’t even gonna lie said I I’ve been holding on to this shout out to Stanley because I had the same sentiment about about a month and a half ago and I

Think I think he he put an endorsement out you know I mean trying to trying to get back in the league um I don’t think it would work right now and as currently you know I mean yeah constructed but I always wanted to see him in a Nick

Uniform right and and uh if if if only if only he you know I mean he had the right personality for tips you know I mean like yeah yeah I feel you Desmond Bane’s contract he makes 3.8 million this year you said 3.8 yeah okay uhhuh year is 34 so he

Starts an extension next year so next year is 34 the year after that is 36.7 then it’s 39.4 and then the 2728 is 42.1 that actually might be the move Son I mean I mean if you’re not talking about if you’re not talking about uh you know aprons and things of that nature

The fact that you could you could get him in here for Grimes and the picks you know what I mean like it’s going to cost some picks because obviously he’s worth more than three million uh on the court right and and but you could probably negotiate too

Because if if they gonna do that move it’s because they getting off the salary it’s not because they don’t want them right I mean my thing is I think they’re looking at Desmond Bay as part of there you know future I mean they paid him as such it’s

Just this year you know with J going down you know with the with the suspension and then going down you I think they’re looking like when we get job back we got Desmond ban we got this we got that you know they’re right back in it next year yeah I don’t think they

Do it I’m just saying if they were interested it’s only because of the salary it’s not because they don’t like them right right yeah yeah I mean I think they you know maybe maybe in two years if things a’t working out then they look to move them but right now I

Think they looking at him it’s one of their cornerstones I mean it’s giving you 24 24 and a half points a game 4.6 rebounds 5.3 assists per game know mean and and he shoots efficiently from the field 47% from the field and 38.4% from

Three yeah I think he was that 50 40 90 conversation before yeah and so you know like I seen someone say in the chat if you get Desmond Bane he ain’t coming on the bench dude a coming off the bench nah he’s starting especially if you paying

That kind of money I’m just saying only paying them three million this year so we talk about that next year when that extension kick oh couple people you know David David he said he rather smart uh some uh oh David David again smart would be the perfect backup somebody

Said that smart is overrated it it’s back in other um I know I think I do think smart would be a good good one too he’d be he’d be a good I think he’d be a good backup point guard you know what I mean he’s tough he exudes

Leadership he was the leader on that Boston team you know what I’m saying and he was the heart and soul I think he would be a really good piece the honestly like I’m more intrigued about having him bringing him in because of what he could disrupt against

Boston you know I mean than than than anything else and it’s not that I don’t like him um I like the fact that he would be the backup point guard I like the fact that he can actually play alongside Deuce alongside heart you know I mean like so so maybe it spells some

Second unit minutes and he could get a couple minutes that way um I like it I like smart too yeah I probably like smart more than Brock too right and and his contract actually fits EV forier perfectly oh really he makes 18.5 this year 19.9 next year and 21.3 the year after

That so that’s you know the contract is perfect he’s averaging 14 and a half points per game 4.3 assists per game he dog you know what I’m saying he don’t shoot that one from the field though but like you said he’s a dog though fit right up in this kenel with

With the rest of these dogs I mean I mean I mean now like you really bring I mean you talk about bringing toughness you know what I’m saying like it’ll be relentless for teams you know what I’m saying like God damn we gota play these dudes

Again he be the one out there protecting Brunson too he won’t even be he won’t even be the big yeah yeah that’s yeah that’s tough um about H’s minutes man uh Indy kind of had the same thoughts that I had play them you know the first

Six in the second playing the last six in the third you play him the first six and then the fourth you play him the last six yeah makes sense makes sense tank said we took the L but our roster is out of whack with two key players missing and halberton on

Restrictions I mean oh guess what buddy our rosters out of whack too right what are you talking about we’ve been playing without Mitch for a good portion of the Season we have an Allstar out an allar out we have OG out and and Quinton grinds was out so you talking three

Starters who you know potential starter well you know was the starter and Center on the team not potential starter and a key bench player what are you talking about and that’s all defensive uh OG right exactly what are you talking about come on man I should have went to this one first

Caleb said I understand the minutes restriction but the Pacers don’t understand we gotta put up with this Nick’s [ __ ] because of it that’s right that’s right you gota put up with it because of [Laughter] it yeah that’s funny about it you know I mean no doubt about it um

Tank said I’m just going to say it the gap between one and five and six is getting quite large our was cing our ceiling before the trade was the six seed our selling now might be the six seed that’s funny too oh man I mean has I’m G tell you what I

Mean I’m looking at on play I I don’t know I I I don’t know I don’t know if Pascal has made them that better he’s not gonna be much better with halberton off the court and I think that’s what they brought him in for right they brought him in because the

Offense sucks when Halle Burton’s not on the court the problem is he’s not a number one guy and they need him to be the number one guy when H Burton’s off the court he’s gonna Thrive alongside H Burton mmhm but who wouldn’t you know what I mean um yeah they made a mistake

Yeah yeah I know it’s funny this guy Gary said is now seems like the Knicks and the Cavs are becoming the clear favorites in the East I’m with it I guess I guess people might say that because is KP out for Boston um I thought I thought he came

Back I don’t know if he got he got hurt again but he’s fragile yeah he’s definitely fragile uh and we are the two hottest teams in 2024 man no doubt about that I’m saying both we’re both withstanding uh injuries and stepping up I mean Mo Moy was out he’s back uh Allen

Was out for some games he’s back and Garland was out and and and you know they they held it down I gotta give them their credit I thought they was going to fall and they right on our ass yeah they right there half a game behind the

Knicks they’re nine and one in the last 10 they’ve won four straight they had they they won a long winning streak then they lost mhm one or two right 30 and 16 half game behind the Knicks I think they only lost I think they only lost two two or three games this

Year 20 2024 oh this year yeah yeah I’m like wait hold up yeah let me see they yeah they they they Pro probably have I don’t know if I’m I’m I’m going with you know both of them being the clear favorites in the East right now but they’re the they’re

Playing the best in the East right now you know um playing the best in the east in 20124 so that’s that’s always uh always nice to hear about the Knicks you I mean I don’t know you know with the way things are going I mean right

Now the Knicks and the Cavs would be on a collision course again in the playoffs right yeah you’re right Cleveland is 12- two this year yeah because because for a minute they even though we was um on our run they still had a better record this year

Right you know mean until they lost that second game and obviously we haven’t lost the Third so yeah I don’t know I mean it’s going to be a fun playoff race the Knicks are just a half game out of second and we can get that second spot then it’s time

To start head hunting those Boston Celtics you know what I mean yeah yeah time to start head hunting and they coming up they coming up on a schedule yeah we got another one they gota play him two more times they gotta play him two more times this

Year Adam Silver Gavin said Adam Sila said he’s looking at Turner as a potential All-Star replacement and then retracting that statement immediately what what did he have tonight oh F I think he’s the one I don’t know if you got the uh I seen that

Five yeah yeah I think it was him I think that was for him five point points four rebounds five personal fouls yeah yeah I think that was Him I mean he’s giving you 17 and seven for the season has he ever made an All-Star team no he said he was making it this year he did yeah I see I seen yeah I mean I guess if he makes it because Julius Randle is out then I

Guess you know he’ll make it caller you live name me where you’re from please hey um my name is Robert McFall I’m out of Jacksonville Florida by way of Harlem New York all right that’s what we talking about what’s going on with you brother how you feeling go

Ahead no I’m just so excited um oh I’ve been watching these Nicks for a hot minute uh 80s 90s and I just don’t understand I I get it that people you know the mindsets on the trades and everything but let’s soak in what we viewing right now because the fact that the

Knicks in this era today is doing some things that nobody is expecting them do and all we have is haters and I love it because if you look back in the 90s all we had was haters when when Patrick Y and them thinking that we couldn’t make

It to the finals and they went to the finals the play against Houston then the the one off year where where it was impossible and we was the eigh seed and we got to the finals even though we got swept by San Antonio that team right there wasn’t

Expected to get there so with this team that we got right now praying that that juliers come back and we we get healthy again and the front office make some smart decisions and moves that can that can improve this team I just feel like we just need to stand behind this team

And move forward with them instead of talking about this person that person if they good F or not just lock with this team because right now you can see how much they play with each other you see how much desire they have to be the best

Right now and I feel like this is a season to where we can make it to the finals I’m just saying because of the fact that if you look going back to the 90s seeing what those nck did just you know and that’s why I think TS is is

Doing what he’s doing even though I want him to be careful running people into the ground sometimes but at the end of the day I see where this team can really jail and get past and probably do something what Miami did last year unexpectedly make it to the finals I’m just

Saying listen it’s possible man my brother my brother I was talking to my brother earlier he brought that he just brought that up he was like man if we we get help healthy and the way things going you know what I’m saying we could

Be a Miami and and yeah I when you look at what this team is doing the way that they play the the the the toughness brunson’s toughness you could see that happening and if they’re able to add you know another one of those tough guys to this team you know what I mean

Uh the Knicks can be kind of scary and nobody nobody will want to play the Knicks in the playoffs nobody above us will want to play no one below us and no one nobody want to play us oh yeah what you’re saying is is so true and then I’m just

Saying yeah I mean I’m I know I’m down in Jacksonville Florida um retired military and haven’t been you know back in New York be able to watch games but when I catch him boy this year just it just warming my heart up and just like

Wow this is bringing me back to the 90s where where the toughness and they just going all out and we know and I just see it it’s the haters and the refs we had that back in the 90s they didn’t like what we was doing something about New

York they hate but you have to really appreciate and respect the things that we doing to get to where we need to be we’ll never be really the NBA you know team that everybody wants because they always going to hate on us just like Charles Barkley and and the rest of

Those guys and they barely gave um but and his pops but it’s just one of those things where nobody likes New York period And I love because when we do something it’s going to shock the world and they’re going to have nothing other to do to give us our respect and that’s

That’s what I love there’s no doubt about that you know what I mean you know no no no matter what happens you know they they find a way to take a shot at the Knicks or you know somehow you know just make they do something part of it part of

It is because you know people know if you say something bad about the Knicks uh uh you know Nicks fans are going to react and they’re going to get some views or or or stuff like that you know that’s a big part of it to

Today you know I mean yeah big part of it today yeah and I I I agree with it too and uh s an Tony your guys do a great job on this uh on this platform and everything I appreciate your your guys your take on what you guys look at and

And and break it down and help some of these young fans that might not truly understand you know I know they stuck on the uh on the what the 2K video games and just trying to put players together trying to make this m team but when you

Actually love the team love your team and see what they’re doing and how they jelling it you know you have a better sense of where they going and if if they which I want them to beat LA on Saturday if they lose the LA that’s just

Something to which I I can move with because right now we’re on a trend to do what we need to do and I’m just hoping and praying that Rand can get back in time enough in around the March time frame if not February but march to take

This team and really show the League what we’re about because everything starts in New York I’m a New Yorker Harlem New York CR Bridge CR from from rocket basketball and everything like that I love it love it I bed New York and I truly believe we can do this and

Put New York back on the map fully man let me tell you if um Knicks if the Knicks make it to the finals and I you know I don’t I don’t know how New York is gonna act I don’t know how New York is Gonna

Act but but but see the thing about it is I wouldn’t know how I would react but I knew back then and I I God is my my word I predicted for the Knicks back when it was the eight seed spre well uh cambi those players they wasn’t the they

Wasn’t like topnotch NBA Allstars and everything but they played like it but they took that HC team and jailed it into the darn finals and if we would have had Patrick Ewan just somewhat healthy to go against David Robert I truly believe we would have made that

A series so knowing that and seeing that I would love to see it and I would I would appreciate it more this year if we could do that because I’m telling you right now being a longtime Nick fan watching Berard King even though we had some bad Seasons there watching Patrick

Yan watching all of them and everything I love it and I’m you just don’t know how much I was like I thought we was just going to pass up and lose tonight but the way they put those seven guys together and pulled out this win like

This it just shows you that these guys on this team is willing to do whatever it needs to get to where they need to be to get a win and I love it no doubt about it man Robert I thank you for your time bro thank you for your time I appreciate

You and once again you guys keep doing your thing and I’m glad you are doing what you’re doing all right no doubt about it PE be peaceful brother peace y say peace yeah yeah yeah yeah everybody’s excited man Nick’s fans should feel real real good and we do feel real good no

Matter what other fan basees say Adam Silver said he’s looking at Turner to be a potential All-Star replacement like Tony said Miles Turner predict that he would be an Allstar and this dude me me me medoc crey said y’all remember when Miles said he would be at the allstar game laughing

Emojis we all knew he meant watching hiy in the stands I don’t know I mean randle’s out so he might get the nod who else who else from the East is snubbed I’m not saying that miles is snubbed but who from the East do you think is snubbed that could get

Their ahead of Miles Turner did Brown make it who Jaylen Brown made it yeah he made it uh I don’t know Indiana might have to give um sabonis his old Jersey back or something I don’t I don’t know yeah I I don’t know who um Butler Jimmy Butler I mean his numbers

Are down Ben chero made it who oh B Carol made yep yeah Jimmy Jimmy Butler bam atab Bayou bam bam yeah I think Bam gets it B’s having a better oh he made it he made it he made it as a reserve yeah oh Dam wow that’s a good question

Guess they going to have to play Randall with one arm I don’t think nobody better yeah so I mean I can’t think of who else would who else would they need to put on right because anyone from Cleveland besides Donovan Mitchell Darius Garland’s been hurt right yeah Mo’s been

Hurt Mo’s been hurt I mean I guess they could look at a guy like Zack LaVine if they wanted to they could maybe look at it like a uh U maau bridges yeah I was gonna say Bridges but I guess they they would have to fill the

Position not just pick a player they could you know have to fill the position is that is that what it is I don’t know yeah somebody said KP I think that’s probably the best CH Choice KP yeah who said that let me okay I can see that

Ms he is having a good year and he’s super vital to that team success I don’t you know what I mean so I think that’s you know number one in the East that’s a good argument that’s yeah definitely 19 19.4 points just about seven rebounds two assists

Shooting the ball 52% from the field 35 three almost two blocks per game yeah that that would make way more sense but I guess they would want to choose someone that’s gonna play he might not want to play depending on his injuries you know what I mean that’s a good

Point yeah you know he may not want to play no the Celtics got two Celtics got two All Star in it this year they got two Jaylen Brown and Jason Tatum Jason’s Tatum is starting jden Brown is deserve give him three sim said the media saying Mitch Robinson’s son should make it Jared

Allen Jared Allen yeah Mitch Robertson son yeah I mean he I can’t think of who else I mean maau Bridges he’s a guard forward I guess I mean he’s 21.9 points five rebounds 3.7 assists if they didn’t want the Celtics to have three I don’t think they care about that

Though I mean I I can see KP making it yeah they love Boston yeah I can see him making it um Pacers fans ain’t happy about Miles Turner you know what I mean damn y’all coming up with the wildest excuses someone said they lost because of M turn his [Laughter]

Back yeah cuz he just guy back he missed some games yeah you know Mont said the Pacers aren’t ready we can’t keep giving them excuses when they lose games they’re supposed to win no excuses I guess my question is is he saying that because the Knicks has so

Many guys out or does he think you know what I mean this know they they think they think uh they were supposed to win they think if hbert didn’t have the minute restriction or if it was uh properly dis dispersed that they would have won but they’re not and I don’t think

They even crediting the fact that we were down guys because they’re still riding the high of the n Season tournament and just like the Lakers you know I mean they talk about us celebrating but y was pretty happy when y’all you know I mean made it to the in

Season finals and was talking about this was a Prelude to the season n they they they think they think they that team that went you know I mean that went to that finals despite the fact that the Knicks coming into this game with 14 games over

500 and they were six games over 500 despite all of that you know what I mean come on Pacers fans that’s why we come into your chats cuz you’re delusional you’re delusional oh I I wouldn’t mind seeing the PAC I don’t know maybe I don’t know their offense can their offense definitely

When when they’re fully healthy and everyone’s out there their offense can go though all right but they ain’t see us we ain’t see them with OG either n that’s true so right now face them in the playoffs and that was the um that was the one

Encouraging thing that for for me it was like all right they did what they did hly played good he has his minut restriction but I’m looking forward to see what OG could do with him or what he could do with OG right because I don’t think think anybody else on that team

The fact that that um what’s his name seak didn’t go off that just told me all right we could put OG on Holly you know I mean and and and and and we and we don’t really gotta you know I mean like we could put Josh har whoever guarded him today precious

You know I mean we could so we I think we good well at least I’m looking forward to seeing it yeah yeah yeah no doubt Apollo said uh I remember Pacers got Obie they said Pacers would be top five in the East and the Pacers

About to be a playing Team yeah I mean yeah who’s behind them Miami is a game and a half behind Them at some point I don’t know do do you think it’s O not that it’s over for my but like how many times can you go to the well where you don’t play well and then you know You turn it on yeah turn it on you know what I mean um I don’t know the the messed up part about you you referring to Miami yeah Miami the messed up part about that situation like that circumstance is it’s not just the team right it’s the leader right like when

When you talk about playoff Butler playoff Jimmy whatever you know what I mean like that’s part of the the problem it’s great when you get there but now they ask they need playoff Jimmy in the regular season you know what I mean like I don’t I don’t think they’re G to

Go on that same type of run not saying that they’re not make you know what I mean the the like I don’t know I I I don’t think they’re going to go on that same type of run in in the playoffs I don’t think so either I don’t think

So yeah I you know I think right now I don’t you know I mean they picked up T Rosier uh I feel like I feel like they’re at the point the Miami Heat are at the point where they’re just going to be trying to bring in

And like bring in Old veteran stars and things like that to try to get the most out of Jimmy Butler you know for for the time for the remainder of the time that he’s there but I I feel like it’s done for them it feel like it’s

Done and yeah M said Miami lost too many of their pieces last off season yep I agree and Nick 100 said precious was getting killed by seaka no he wasn’t seak had 16 points tonight how how much pressures had 12 12 come on he look pretty hyped to play against

Seak to me no seak had 18 18 points tonight seak at 18 points seven rebounds and five assists precious had 12 points 16 rebounds four steals two blocks come on man and then he asked was I watching was you watching bro right shout out to uh Nick 100

Though you mean I mean Pascal should have had played 30 Pascal P seak should have had 28 or something tonight if he’s you know I think Precious Precious was all right he did his thing tonight 12 points 16 rebounds four steals two blocks you know he took 16 shot

Attempts matter of fact a couple people are saying um precious locked them up in the fourth or towards the end of the game took to your credit Nick 100 I only really saw the fourth quarter I I was at work and and listening more than watching

So yeah and I I don’t know hopefully I didn’t have myself I might have had myself on mute when I was saying something you might have heard me but I don’t know if they heard me oh really I might have had myself I don’t know it’s

Late it’s like 2 o’ in the morning so I definitely heard you yeah yeah you heard me I think they didn’t hear me I don’t know it’s late it’s like 2 o’clock in the morning make those kind of mistakes when it’s late it’s the uh extended version
