  1. Not only that, the city of Indianapolis is bigger than Milwaukee

  2. teams are perplexed on how we are able to run a 6-7 man rotation. they look at us and see talent gap, they cannot comprehend how we keep winning so they resort to blaming the refs.

    If they played second halves like they play first halves they’d be up 2-0 on us. They’ve been moving the ball well and hitting the open looks they get, especially early on.

    The problem? When your offense is about getting a ton of possessions you don’t always value them, thinking you’ll have another one in 20 seconds. That mentality kills you in crunch time during the playoffs when pace is less important than grit / focus.

    Easier to blame something out of your control than it is to hold yourself accountable

    It’s just victim mentality

  5. If Carlisle spent half the energy on coaching as he did complaining maybe Halliburton would be threatening in crunch time. Getting outscored by a Thibodeau team in a high scoring game is embarrassing enough lol

    Indianapolis isn’t really all that small. It’s the 16th largest city in the whole country, and I didn’t check but probably top 10 in NBA cities or something. I mean sure, it’s not New York, but it’s not French Lick either.

    Once you start complaining about refs you’ve already given up.

    It goes like this:

    * Knicks draft Patrick Ewing.

    Knicks are a big market team getting preferential treatment.

    * Knicks eat shit, don’t catch a break for 25 years.

    *Crickets*

    * Knicks sign a second round pick that turns out to be an MVP candidate, and his college buddies that didn’t start for their previous teams. Dispatch an MVP led team, claw out a 2-0 lead in round 2.

    Knicks are a big market team getting preferential treatment.

  9. Indiana fans are delusional defending Rick Carlisle saying “he should be batting for our guys so I’m ok with his small market statement” wow

  10. media, casuals, and crybabys really think we somehow got the 2 seed with an injured roster completely through luck and not hard work, dedication, and talent.

    It’s the post-Trump playbook. Cry and lie about things being rigged to get the the rubes worked up.

  12. Not to mention that those two teams are beating much bigger markets.

  13. Rirruto10

    Not to mention the world champion Nuggets at about 700K population of Denver.

  14. Remarkable_Inchworm

    Nothing says “I am an absolute clown” quite like suggesting that the NBA pulls strings to make things easier for the New York Knicks.

  15. drewcarey69

    Carlisle is just shook cuz he realized he can’t suddenly make his team play defense after letting them skip doing that all season

  16. bronfmanhigh

    it’s really amazing we went from the “he’s getting fouled (x6)” march whistle, to being accused of a big market NBA refball conspiracy in just 7 weeks. our FO’s strategy worked really quite well

  17. antheman2

    And let’s not forget Boston with a population of 650k

  18. FullHouse222

    Surely such a corrupt league such as the NBA would not allow a big market team go 39 years without a 1st overall pick despite that team being a bottom barrel team in the league for a good 2 decades. Surely…

  19. echelonNYK

    Someone tell Great Value Jim Carrey to stfu and coach. You literally pissed that game away last night

  20. MuhamedBesic

    According to this site Indiana actually is a small market team, they are ranked 22nd in terms of TV audience/market share. To be fair though Milwaukee and OKC are even lower so I don’t think it’s a valid argument from Rick, but going by raw population size isn’t how you judge a team’s market share

    Their Coach is definitely getting fired after this

  22. Tasty-Concern-8785

    imagine losing and then throwing a tantrum about it as an nba head coach

  23. Dazzling_Ad_5596

    It’s because he knows he can’t beat the Knicks. I’m surprised how poorly they have played at times

  24. Afraid-Ad7379

    I mean do these sore loser cunts not remember the 20+ years of misery we have suffered through ? But now the cards are stacked for us ? Hobbled and fighting for every basket ? GET THE FUCK OUTTA HERE

    I was in Indianapolis recently, if the population is actually that high, the city limits must go far into the suburbs, it felt like there was actually no one there the entire time.

    Actually went to a Pacers-Nets game too, paid like $15 for a ticket.
