Thibs needs to be fired running these players to the ground
The basketball gods are coming for this DIRTY TRICKS Knicks team😂😂😂😂 Told yall.
Just ask Chris Paul and embidd how their DIRTY TRICKS comes back to punish them.
Toppin!!!!!!!
NBA has been rigging “important” games for big market teams, for DECADES
Proof in point, Google rigged 2002 WCF , Lakers vs Kings.
Look up the court transcript from Tom Donaghy testifying that NBA gave orders to make sure Sacramento (small market) does not advance to Finals.
NBA wanted ratings cash cows, Shaq & Kobe in Finals instead. So parts of series was rigged through bad officiating.
NBA has become the WWE (fake)
Mitchell Robinson should retire
Ah just this is great theater. I’m a Pacers fan and I’m mad we lost but come on let’s appreciate the intensity from both teams and their fans. This is what’s been missing in the NBA the last 20 years. We need more rivalries in sports it brings out the best performances in players.
Hali getting hammered in the back was wild lmaoo
Can someone inform this garbage channel that JOKIĆ IS MVP?!
Game is rigged there are at least 30 calls that you can point to where the Pacers aren’t getting calls for clear fouls lmao 😂😂 heart literally pushes Tyrese Haliburton in the back, shoves him across the court and they don’t qualify just one of the 30 cost. They missed tonight give advantage to the Knicks at the free line and the Pacers not aggressive when they need to. it’s the easy way to determine a game.
Looked to me like he took a stinger to the nuts and not the foot. That's how he was able to come back once the pain faded.
Pacers played a team that has 3 injured players out….2 injured players in the court….and they still couldn't beat the Knicks. It's not the refs fault….
The refs didn't blow the game for the Pacers in game 2. Knicks and Jalen Brunson played their butts off and came away with another win.
Play defense.
Pacers should worry about rebounding and defence instead of crying about a call or 2
Windhorst is fuming about the McRib being taken off the menu
NBA hates Pacers. Want to see Reggie coach the Pacers and get that ring with us Reggie.
Blaming the refs again???? Knicks did not have Brunson for a quarter and a half and OG missed a bunch of time and the knicks still rag dolled the pacers LMAO that tells u everything u need to know…. Cry harder…. Did not see any “crazy” missed calls
No no there was SERVERAL calls that went against BOTH teams in game 1…. Not just the pacers…. We all saw the 2 minute report lol these ppl are unbelievable…. Pacers acting like they had game 1 in the books and won lol they still had to make a shot and do more to try and win it … what a joke
If hartenstein actually double dribbled I would understand. But he didn’t. It was a terrible initial call and the OTHER official corrected it. Tf they complaining about now?
Not Pacers fan nor KNICK fan, but we stopped watching NBA games because of the officiating 😂
Game one was trash officiating. They got three calls wrong or no called in less than a min of play time. That's the NBA today though it's broken the refs choose who win and Super soft Silver dosent have the intestinal fortitude to do anything about the refs or the adult children whom are the players acting out in the league. Not to mention the lack of accountability due to Joe Dumars underwhelming punishments handed out. From now on I'm going to address the bad boys team as the bad boys and Joe Dumars he doesn't deserve to be grouped into the bad boys.
Soft teams that can't handle the way Knicks play cry about officiating…it's crazy….these coaches filing greiveances and sending the league videos..😂 It's playoff basketball.
This is what Thibodaux does. He only knows how to coach a six players deep. He's a career maker and a career killer as a coach.
Yeah they deserve fines for this NBA needs to put a lid on this whining
When will Thibs learn to play his bench.
I think they should be worrying about their ability to hit free throws not the officiating😂. This was a winnable game for them officiating or not but they threw it away by missing their free points.
Funny thing is if Indiana was up 2-0 it would be the Knicks fuming about officiating 💀
Sixers fan here and there’s something to this.
They injured Brunson then they injure OG then they blow a 12 point lead?? And they’re still cry???
Pacers don’t get the bump calls and the physical calls the Knicks do. Terrible officiating in both games. Knicks should feel fortunate
Pacers will never win a championship, quot crying and play ball. TJ McConnel will get cooked he will not save this cry baby team
Knicks are a better team but the refs are awful
Refs are bad in all sports, the unions are the problem.
Thibs stop playing these guys 48 minutes
So is Rick and his pacers gonna cry all series about the refs? I guess this is his strategy to get favorable calls in Indy, maybe? I found the officiating balanced last night. Once again the Pacers blew the lead in the 3rd and the Knicks marched on in the 4th. Hey Rick, your team was a rotten 10-17 from the ft line while the Knicks were 18-22, only 5 more fts. Your team was out-rebounded again 44 to 34. Indy defense allowed a scorching hot 57% shooting by the Knicks. You are pointing your fingers at the wrong people, look in the mirror…. (BTW, F*** reggie miller).
I GUARANTEE YOU Pacers wouldn’t be crying if they had won both games. 😂
Funny pacers coach is fuming about the officiating but doesn’t acknowledge all the no calls as they bump, elbow, and hack the entire Knicks team every possession on a full court press for the entire 60 minutes of game time. I saw at least 20 fouls not called, at least. GET THE F OVER IT, YOU LOST!!!!
the refs been on their knees for the knicks lol
Screw job
Obi and TJ had there way. But you went away from it lol. That's what you need to be more concerned on. I bet you if the Pacers won this wouldn't be a topic. Man please your coaching has been suspect
Pacers coach took absolutely no accountability.
😢😢😭Pacers crack me up!!! Which of these teams have lost a player due to a dirty foul……🦗🦗😂😂😂😂😂
Home cooking 🫕🫕🫕
The Pacers play a healthy team finally and are getting beat and the first thing them and their fans do is blame the officiating. What a loser fanbase.
