Tyrese was beyond passive on O, and embarrassing on D (as usual).
When these games become emotionally charged like this it becones more and more difficult to win on other teams floor. Why that Game one might turn out to be one that got away because they pretty much played exactly how they are going to need to in order to win A game in new york.
Just dont see it happening. Itll take ALOT of things to go right.
A scenario i can see that might be able to pull it off is for Myles and Haliburton both to not play well game 6 but Pacers still win.
Myles rarely has two bad games in a row or two real good ones. But hes responded to bad games the following game all season.
Not in my wildest dreams did i think this team would make the conference finals this year. A game 7 would be amazing just to have a chance albeit a small one.
We NEED OG to play game 7 to get this team COMPLETELY focused and to be able to have a chance to shut these dumb ass idiots up.
Burks is averaging 17ppg last 3 games
Mcbride is averaging about 15ppg the last 3
But knicks fan and national media somehow buys into this narrative that multi million dollar paid player coming off the bench are scrubs and cant play.
Knicks must have the greatest doctors in the world to cure the entire team off all their ailments and injuries the knicks fan base bitched about all week.
When You lose take the L. They whooped Pacers ass tonight. They did what they were supposed to do at their house.
See how easy that is. Never seen a fan base in my entire life bitch about and make so many excuses when their team loses.
Ive literally lost ALL respect for knicks fan base and media. I honest to God HATE that team and their fans at this point.
Just dont let these crybabies close on Pacers home floor. One more ass whooping to shut National, Pacers and knicks media the hell up and hear them make every excuse there is after they lose.
I feel like our players expected them to be completely gassed and when they came out hitting shots we just panicked and didn't get good looks just threw shit up
Idk siakam just be playing underwhelming to me. Like he misses layups too much. Always falls to ground after every shot. He has hart on him and just tries to over him. Haliburton was way beyond passive and it was irritating . Myles is our center so its always gonna be a gap with rebounding no matter the situation and I know he helps alot when our defense collapses. Myles seemed like he was scared to try to block any shots in the 1st quarter i guess to not get foul calls. Carlise will put in a nonproductive lineup that he sticks with way too long but he tries to make an adjustment. Pacers dont never box out they just stand and look at the ball. Team as a whole had too many silly turnovers. Better hope they play better in game 6 or they staying home for good. Coaching staff didnt do a good job preparing them in my eyes. On to game 6.
I'm done arguing or criticizing fans when or how they fan. They can obviously fan any they want to.
But Reggie was drafted In 1987 and didn't get out the 1st rd till 1994. Chuck Person could never get us out the 1st rd.
Oladipo nor Brogdon nor Sabonis did or could either.
Tyreses FIRST playoff experience he has this team knocking on eastern conference finals door.
I berate Tyrese in private and call Him profanity laced names too but I'm not about to put him on blast when this is his first playoff experience ever.
Jordan got swept his first THREE playoff series. SWEPT.
I understand fans wanting him to do more and expecting Him to but once this season is over fans will realize what happened. Were just in the heat of the battle now.
Of course I want to win. Absolutely. No telling when Pacers will get this far again. You just never know in today's NBA. Nothing is guaranteed
Demoralizing loss. Focus adjust and shut these punks down
Pressure shifts to the pacers
It comes down to the Knicks having a bit of extra rest. Indiana is not on the Knicks level when the Knicks are healthy.
Knicks get an extra day of rest.. THATS HUGE
Awful effort. No sense of urgency.
I mean the real adjustment and why the knicks won is because brunson was healthy let's be honest
I just don’t understand why Tyrese completely disappeared. He didn’t even look like he tried. It wasn’t that he was even shooting bad or something, he just didn’t do anything, specifically in the 1st half.
Ultimately this series is irrelevant because no one in the east is beating the Celtics in a 7 game series, but I just hope the pacers learn from this experience
The horrible turnovers, horrible rebounding, and passiveness by Hali took us out of this game.
Passiveburton
Why did they draft Jarace Walker if he never plays and they refuse to develop him. I hate Pritchard and CARLOSER
Let me preference this by saying I'm a Pacers fan for life… BUT… If Pacers can't beat this busted-ass Knicks team missing so many of its players… Then NY most definitely deserves to move on to next round 😒
Well it was a fun season. Too bad the league wants these foul baiting clowns to get swept by Boston. At least I hope we can force it to 7.
Haliburton is a bum.
