Rick is a whiny diva 🍼💅🏻
Yeah, that NBA is at it helping big market teams again. Lord knows it's the big market teams that win the lottery year after year. It's the big market teams that always win the 'chip.
Games are rigged…….that is a fact
Adam Silver is a native cheating New Yerk Knix Knats fan. Which makes him a rigging cheating loser. Not only he tries everything to rig all the games due to ratings but he also tries to rig it for his favorite team the New York Knix. Stern did the same thing too. Adam Silver, Scott Foster, the Tony's, etc all need to be replaced with people that call all of the games in between as it should be
Knicks are the Cowboys of the NBA. Back to the void with ya!
Somebody call a wah-mbulance for Rick Carlisle. 😂😂
The difference was not one official saw that the kicked ball wasn’t a kicked ball, and the double dribble was called by a referee who was only seeing the back of Isiah, and the other two referees quickly and correctly overruled his incorrect call. 29 calls against your team, but how many not called against Jalen along? Bad losers complain, and so far, no respect to Philly and Indiana! Small market teams deserve a fair shot? What the f? Knicks haven’t won since 1973-74? Idiot coach!
Rich it's okay as thunder fan. The mavs people are saying the refs are rigging it for us. They just can't stand it when they're overrated team takes an L much like the Pacers.
The NBA should make the refs do post game interviews
Do people know what the word inadvertent means? It means accidental or unintentional? So there was no cover up! Ref was out of position and anticipated the double dribble as he saw Isiah right hand moved to the ball. The problem is Indy didn’t get the correct call in game one with the bad kick ball call and Knicks did in game two with the waving off of the double dribble, so they feel they are being screwed!
Nowadays if something doesn’t go your way, you just yell conspiracy!
This Pacers coach is an embarrassment
Rick Carlisle is just crying because Jalen Brunson, who he only played 10 minutes in a game 7 loss a few years ago, is beating him
It's funny all of a sudden the NBA cares about NY because of "big market teams" but the last 25 years they didn't give a flying F about the Knicks. No superstars, no number one pick, no media attention. But NOW they do lol yea OK.
nba official can't tell you the color of their uniforms in 10 secs. now you ask them to review a play in that time?
Pacers are a fraud. They only beat the Bucks because no Giannis and no Lillard. Half the Knick team is hurt and they still lost.
The rules don't apply when rich is a fan of the team.
Brunson goes down in the 2nd. OG misses the second half with a hamstring. Here's a idea Carlisle, teach your team to play defense! OKC and Minnesota are small market teams!
🫤 Correction, Sir. Not only did they file a "mixtape" of grievances, they dropped a whole double album of complaints! 😭😂🤦🏾♂️ "The Indiana Pacers have submitted 78 instances of incorrect or non-calls to the NBA that they felt put them at a disadvantage in Games 1 and 2 against the New York Knicks, a league source told ESPN.6 hours ago"
NBA has been rigged for years
We have sports gambling with granular analysis. It is impossible for the nba to pick who they want to advance. They would be cutting their own throat.
Yes Josh Hart pushed him but they were playing bully ball on the end the play right before that where he got the rebound
@chrisbrockman. You can have your conspiracy theory. But you should tell Reggie Miller to sit this argument out. A couple refs make calls that should always be called but aren't in the nba today doesn't make it a conspiracy just means they accidentally had integrity.
Man take the L and keep it moving last night game wasn't even that close at the end
It was the same way with the Philly series. New York is getting all the calls
Any unbiased fan can clearly see the officiating heavy to one side.
Of course Knicks fans will pretend that’s not the case, as would any other teams fans that were getting favorable calls.
Knicks fans are just more classy about it, because we all know how classy New Yorkers are.
Miggt as well put Knicks jerseys on the refs. If those calls were going the other way Eisen would be singing a different tune.
Carlisle failed to capitalize on the (temporary) absence of Jalen Brunson.
oh come on rich you're better than this
its pretty obvious refs are making incompetent 1 sided calls in favor of knicks
they've done everything they can to hand this series to ny
filthy garbage officiating
Because people cried when they didn't review the kick ball. So they reviewed the double-dribble call, and people still cried. The double-dribble call, btw, was a lose-no effect situation on the Knicks, and not in their favor in any way. If the call stands, they lose possession on a wrong call. If the call is overturned, it's still their ball anyway.
I watched a ton of hoop this year, and I have to be honest. The officiating was absolute garbage in both games. Rick Carlisle is completely correct.
Coach Rick Carlisle looks like the 80's Max Headroom……
That double dribble call was ridiculous thabk god they reversed it usually they dnt that was the worst call ever
They also F’d the Sixers too.
Just sad that people can’t enjoy watching sports because they think internet culture is more important.
There are stats showing how certain teams benefit from these whistles. Whether it's the huge gap between first and second team in the league for free throws which favours the Lakers.
Looking at the Last 2 Minute reports and calls favouring teams over others sees the Nuggets benefiting the most two seasons running out of 30 teams. Odds for that are astonishing.
The amount of soft bunny fouls the pacers got is insane. WTH they talking about
Everybody treating the Knicks like a make a wish kid 🙄. You're paid to be an analyst NOT a "fan". 👍👍
What a fn cry baby. Looks like Jim Carey acting. Your team choked and you made poor personnel decisions !
I know all the officials look alike but these are 2 different crews. They should be differences in the way they call things.
have we all forgotten that the refs screwed Philly out of game 2 against NYK??
Jim Carey is a hell of an actor! Impersonating a coach… no wonder he keeps making poor substitution decisions down the stretch! Hey Carlisle keep Tj & Obi on the bench. I appreciate it
As a Knick fan I agree they could’ve overturned that call in game 1 as they did in game 2 but that was two different referee crews. If it were the same crew making that call I’d say something was funny. The crew chief didn’t take over the decision in the 1st game
