Lets keep it simple for Carlisle. The Knicks starters were like +12 each vs the Pacers -12 in game 1 and for game 2, the Knicks starters were like +20 each vs the Pacers -20 in game 2. Total domination from the knicks starters. Brunson was +26 in game 2 and Haliburton was -17 in game 2. Do you all want to see the Pacers 27th ranked defense looks like? The Pacers are the #1 ranked fouling team in the entire NBA.
When Jim Carrey start coaching.
Knicks had 5 dudes, yall couldn’t take advantage of that, now you’re crying about the refs 😅
No llores…
It’s crazy the knicks can change up and play anyone’s style and still beat them… knicks can do the slow pace half court and then they can run and gun and play fast pace.. last series the knicks/sixers were barely scoring 100 or more and it was completely different and now this series the knicks are scoring in the 120s and playing completely different… they did this without Brunson for a quarter and a half and OG
This is why Brunson is the best player in the nba and should have won the MVP did anyone see when he was out and then came back in and the HUGE difference??? And that was while he was hurt… just insane
Cry baby Rick 🤣🤣🤣
Or Rick just play defense you let the knicks score 130 points. Play defense and yall would of won 😂
This is rig. The NBA just wants to see New York Knicks versus the Celtics it’s all about the money ticket sales. Let’s go Cs
The foul at 2:32 on Brunson is so dirty. He just completely smashed Brunson on that drive. I know exactly what Nembhard was trying to do there. Trying to injure Brunson there. Hitting the upper body that hard on a player in the air is so dangerous.
Ok Rick Carlisle you are out of your mind. Yes your crying about Hart pushing Haliburton in back is legit….but c’mon dude!!! Your team was climbing over back of Knicks all game to get rebounds and TJ was fouling Brunson literally on ever play! Then you got ejected because you complained about the reversal of a horrible call. You lost the game by playing Tyrese over TJ! Live with it!. This game was NOT about officiating! STOP!!! Your team leads league in fouling
I'm a New Yorker… I want the Knicks AND Rangers to both make (and win) the championship in the same season. Something we weren't able to get done in 94'. BUT… if OG is out? Boston is gonna cook us. It's bad enough already that most of our starting 5 are technically already bench players and Brunson can't have a single bad game. The deeper these playoffs get, the more the exhaustion will start to show. Bench production is CRUCIAL to ANY championship team. And we have no clue what this roster is going to look like next season either. Nobody remembers the runner up of the ECF. There is no consolation prize. The goal is to win a chip, and if the Knicks were healthy they could compete even with the best of the West. As currently constructed though? Nah.
Just not finding out Halliburger got a back problem lol
What small market teams Deserve a shot😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 dude your a loser ask Reggie Miller who won a championship…
Rick sound nuts 😂😂😂😂😂
Pacers= 27th ranked defense and #1 ranked most fouls…. Reflection of Carlisle!
Cry me a river, bad calls both sides. Hate when they cry about 1 way calls when both are getting screwed
What a weak coach, I’m sure the Knicks can find 25 calls they felt were wrong too. Stop crying.
A good team is about continuity. Brunson, Donte, and Hart have chemistry that cannot be taught. They are perfectly in sync with each other and all playing great.
“Small market teams deserve an equal shot” …… that’s why the Knicks have always been in the title contention and getting all the big stars every off season cause we’re a big market so obviously it’s rigged for us every year and why we’re in the finals all the time
WE NEEED OG HE'S NOT REPLACEABLE !!!
Pacers still wanna make this about the refs when they lost by 9 😂 refs weren't giving up back door cuts or open 3s
Insert Ace Ventura “Loser” meme
What a feeling it must be to be a Knick player on the MSG court in that playoff atmosphere. Been imagining that my whole life!
jim carrey crying
Jim Carrey can play Carlisle in the Disney movie about this tragic story.
Celtics getting a free pass to getting swept by the wolves
I never thought Danny green would be a hater how could you not root for a team like the knicks smh I root for the under dog all the time they are the under dogs they have a lot of injuries on the team
indiana coach whining like a little kid , dude stfu and coach
Carlisle crying about small market teams not getting a fair chance is insane, Minnesota and OKC look like the two best teams in the playoffs (neither team has even lost yet) and they're both smaller markets than Indianapolis let alone the entire state of Indiana (a state known for loving basketball). It was telling that his own players disagreed with him and said the refs didn't effect the outcome, it was their lack of hustle.
The excuses are crazy. You were up 10 at the half and it's your job to hold off the game. As a coach you did not execute down the stretch and compromised your team
Rick mentions small market teams needing a shot and the Knicks always get calls against them historically. But they don't make the excuses that others will and do their best to keep the game out of the officials hands. That's a true winning team
Losing brings out the best excuses
Pacers coach is a joke
Give it to the Knicks! They are serious! Mitchell out and Randle out, they still play like absolute warriors every game!
Bruh the pacers blew a 10 point lead in the 3rd quarter made no adjustments as the Knicks were on the run, and Carlisle is over here calling out specific ref calls as if that’s where his focus should be
WHERE THE HECK WAS THE DEFENSE, how you let a hobbled Jalen come back and reignite the Knicks OG goes out the game and yall lose the rebound and box out matchup.
You know you getting out couch when you start to single out the refs instead of just realizing yall coughed that game away
This 5'10" leprechaun Brunson 15 minutes of fame is just about to come to a halt……..it's the NBA people remember linsanity……..
Quit complaining Rick . .. excuses
Hart did nothing to hurt that guy stop the cap
Ahhh yes, Green a long Island meat eater.
Carlisle being an absolute baby. there were SEVERAL "And 1" plays that's should have been called against the Pacers. They would have sent Hsrt and OG to the line several times. They didn't get called.
The double dribble was clearly NOT a double dribble and you got heated that you didn't get a free call, like that kick ball. stop crying.
No brunson and OG for a quarter and change, no randle, robinson, bojan, us playing 7 guys (burkes one minute does not count) and IND had a double digit lead going into 2H. Maybe if IND wasn't so complacent, played at least average defense, and didn't miss 7 FTs, the refs would not be a factor.
Rick 😂 common man youre better then that 😊
"It's all over Twitter right now " 😂😂 what a joke …. right after that " give new york credit " 😂
Knicks shot 57%. That’s why they won Rick Carlisle
Rick Carlisle – They call him Two-Techs, he tote two tecs. And when he start to bust, he like to ask, “Who’s next?”
OG kept the Knicks floating around in that 1st Half where the Pacers should've put the foot on their throat when Brunson came out because Knicks were so out of sorts. Pacers have no one to blame but themselves: they wilted in the 3rd, should've let TJ McConnell on the floor for the 4th, couldn't hit a FT and they couldn't get a rebound in the 4th.
