This is eerily similar vibes to the last time these two teams faced in the playoffs.
Nah, Pacers gonna outscore them 750+ to 600 in points. It will be a 5 game Pacers series win. Knicks have good 1 vs 1 defense but Pacers play to get the open man the shot. Good luck
Jalen > Tyrese
Dante > Andrew
Hart > Aaron
OG < Pascal
Hartenstein < Turner
But the Pacers have more depth. I am hopeful for a good series.
Pacers beat Knicks 2 outta 3 times earlier this year so what's different now?
volume is a little low fellas good stuff tho!
pacers will win
people really overlooking the pacers. i love it
Pacers in 5
Knicks in 5
Pacers don't play defense
The disrespect is crazy to me. The Knicks barely beat the 76ers with Embiid at 50%. Look at the series numbers on the season 🤣🤣🤣
Everyone is saying the Pacers have no defense, but you do realize the Pacers are going to make the Knicks look like they have no defense when there offense is flowing, and everyone is getting touches. If the Pacers play there pace this series, they will be very hard to stop.
So the Pacers are the better team beating a Giannisless and basically a LILLARDless Bucks while Embiid averaged 27pts in the series and the Knicks still won. Make it make sense please.
Can dude on the right stop interrupting every sentence
Pacers played against the bucks without Giannis , the Knicks played the toughest 7th seed in in nba history .
Knicks fans out here thinkin' they 'bout to step over the Pacers on the way to the ECF.
Historical 90s rivalry renewed!
This series needs to be can Brunson and Anaboyo beat a PACERS Team.
You can't look at just stopping two players and win it. This is a WHOLE TEAM.
Knicks vs Pacers is more of a rivalry game than Knicks vs Celtics.
Bums haven’t watched a pacer game all year.
Brunson gonna average 40 on these dudes. The sixers was our test. Pacers aint been tested . Until now with us . Og gonna dominate pascal pascal handle still not tight enough to be a first option . Nobody on that team has the skill level of naxey or embiid. We gonna dominate them dudes
The guy on the right won't stfu, so the guy on the left can make his point…gees
If this is a track meet, pacers win.
Knicks are a top 10 team both offensive and defensive rating …. #1 in offensive rebounding, best rebounding % team… Pacers are by far the worst defensive team in the playoffs, were 24th in defensive rating, 24th in rebounding. It's a total style of play difference, but the Knicks are solid on both sides and the best at rebounding… while I'm sure Pacers will have their runs and will score, you can't flip a defensive team around in the playoffs as easily as you can flip an offensive team.
Can you let the man talk sheesh, I’m off this
Afro Baldy seems like a Pacers fanboy who doesn’t watch much basketball.
Knicks fan here. Knicks are not overlooking the Pacers. It will be a good series. Pacers are a great offensive team but play no defense. If Thibs doesn’t play a 9 man rotation Knick will be in trouble.
Siakam will have OG and Auchiwa to deal with. While Haliburton will be up against Donte, Hart, and McBride. Knicks can also play small ball utilizing Auchiwa and Sims switch ability on defense. Knicks are the more physical and better defensive team.
The entitlement of Knicks fans can be unbelievable at times, especially for a franchise that only has two championships in 77 years of existence, and none in the past 50 years. The Yankees they are not. That said, these biased prognoticators are consitently forgetting that even though this is a 2-6 matchup, the Pacers only finished 3 games behind the Knicks in the standings. The East from 2-8 were all very close in record. Indiana is the same caliber of team as the Knicks, and aren't dependent on one player the way the Knicks are. New York tries to play slow with a 7 player rotation. Indiana plays fast with a deep bench. Indy's speed and depth are going to wear the Knicks out over time. The longer the series goes, the more it will favor Indiana, because their players don't play the minutes the New York players do, plus Indiana is probably better conditioned from running all the time. New York may win, but the odds makers are clearly stoned, heavily favoring the Knicks so much.
Y’all say this like the Indiana Pacers just didn’t beat the bucks because they didn’t have their best players. What are you talking about lol
So what Harris didnt score. Buddy hield scored 17. FOH with them stupid a$$ glasses. 🤓. 🤣🤣🤣
This ain’t going no 7 games! Them boys soft! Them boys coming to the Garden to get beat with bats!
The Knicks playing 7 deep and 5 players heavy mins,if the Knicks win this series they will have earned it against the up tempo Pacers.Only way the Knicks win is if they keep Halli and Siakam under 20 and stop the Pacers bench can they do that four times?
Sixers would have beat the Pacers
Knicks in 5 🥱
Pacer fans watch on with bemusement as the over-hyping homer New York national media are already analyzing Knicks-Celtics, as if Indiana's not even there. We are hoping that deep arrogance and overconfidence filters down to your team.
Probably won't — your coach and team leaders won't let that happen — so we can expect a long, tough, hard-fought series, may the best team win
But If it does, we will ambush you and finish you off quick. Series will be over before you even know it. Knicks better not be looking ahead (but we hope they are).
Footnote: Michael Smith was right the first time — the officials are compromised. That's already baked in. A huge challenge. But we've played through that all year, including the last series. Hopefully we can play through it this series as well.
I’m looking overlooking Indiana to
