The call should be made. The problem is the 99% of the time where its not called. Now the refs can stop any play they want at any time they want because an illegal screen happens on every play. And they'll be in teh right. One of the biggest problems is illegal screens not being enforced. By the way the knicks got called for 2 illegal screens this game before this. So was it enexcusable when the knicks had 2 plays stolen when the pacers had 1? Call the fouls correctly.
I'm with Legler on this. That screen call on Turner was bogus, and I was even rooting for the Knicks.
Business!!
Halliburton had 6, Brunson gets 40, the refs gave the Knicks all these breaks, and the Knicks won by five at home? If I were a Knicks fan, I’d be worried.
THANK YOU ESPN for leaving this in 😂 12:55 “Oh this is oxtail, plantains, cornbread..” – Shannon Sharpe. I love Shannon bruh
Kicked the ball with his hand, that's crazy
Funny how when they blow more egregious calls against Knicks and they lose it’s a non story but when it’s in Knicks favor it’s the headline all day
Media just hates giving Knicks and Brunson and flowers. The disrespect for this team and this player is historical
Legs is sooo mad. Hahaha!
Molly is a goddess btw
Stephen A smith and company are delusional.
This was a travesty of a performance by the refs man. That was so so obvious
Ya just be whining that the Knicks are whining. Ya lame
Pissed we lost but it was a good game
That is why people stopped watching sports
People simply not watching sports like they used to. NBA is one of them. I used to Wake up 3 in the morning to watch a game in third world country. NBA is not like used to be.
The sports are rigged like everything else in USA. Simply everything is a business.
pacers fan here, we did not finish the job that simple. Knicks have a squad its gonna have to be a dogfight. Brunson is incredible dude gets where he wants to go his playstyle is so unorthodox but he does so well
Dude that was a foul just move the hell on the pacers had a chance still to score and get a big rebound and they didn’t stop blaming the refs for your loss
Ok, so if Indiana does the same to NY as Minn is doing to Denver, then it's a wrap….but we know that's not going to happen…..Go Spike Lee🎉🎉🎉🎉
Funny how they make such a big deal about a call that is the right call(at the wrong time however) but when Embiid pulled Mitch Rob leg they barely mentioned it. Pathetic.
Rick look like Jim Carrey brother no cap 😂😂😂
why is espn full of analysts that hate the NY knicks.. and even the so called "knick fan analysts" that they do have, do not truly support the knicks.. This is why i do not watch espn any more.. They need to get rid of the richard jeffersons and Tim Legler's of the world… so tired of this nonesense.
Dont put your team in a position to lose and still lose after cry about it
He was not moving especially since it just happened on the other end. Should have never been called. Go Pacers.
Sometimes I forget the nba is an entertainment league, they want Boston vs New York
As a Pacers fan it's been driving be nuts that TJ McConnell isn't having more minutes. Hali is hurt with his back spasms. McConnell has been playing awesome! Several games we've seen TJ using his speed to drive past bigger defenders and get easy layups. Hali isn't attacking the paint enough (because he's not 100%) but if he attacked the paint he'd at least wear Brunson out so he doesn't get 40, possibly get fouls on him, and Hali needs to remember he has midrange! Hali is taller, but not as strong. I hate the officiating in game one, but the Pacers have the tools to win if they would just balance minutes better. If Brunson has 43 on 14/26 and Hali has 6 on 2/6, Hali isn't being aggressive on offense, which means Brunson isn't wasting energy on defense and having lots left for offense.
