These guys have no quit, AMAZING game across the board. Utmost respect for all of these guys, and super special kudos to Isiah Hartenstein he was simply bonkers.
Doomers have been proven wrong yet again, NEVER, EVER say shit about these Knicks. They do not give up, they will absolutely never give up.
1 more win and we put these hicks away!
That’s how a contender fucking responds
Obviously Brunson is the savior but felt like every time a big bucket was needed Burks was there
Just so you guys know, I wasn’t able to sit in my lucky [chair](https://www.reddit.com/r/NYKnicks/s/ncTJoNJFLl) for games 3 and 4… BUT I WAS BACK IN THAT BITCH TONIGHT! LFGGGGG
#WE ARE THE NEW YORK KNICKS
For all you dumbasses that thought the Knicks getting the 2nd seed was a bad idea, the Knicks are 5-1 (Real fans know that we’re 6-1) this postseason in MSG. Best home playoff record in the league.
If you wanna beat the Knicks, you gotta go thru MSG first and that crowd loses to no one. Don’t even need to worry about injuries when the Garden never misses a game.

KNICKS IN 6
GET IN HERE, Knicks in 6
THAT’S HOW YOU RESPOND
Big Market Bias stopped the Pacers from getting rebounds
Alec Burks in his second stint as a Knick:
Regular season (23 games): 30.7% FG%, 30.1% 3P%
Playoffs (4 games): 51.7% FG%, 50.0% 3P%
iHart made MILLIONS tonight
Job’s not finished
Jalen Marquis Brunson **IS A 1A** and anyone who said otherwise **is 1 STUPID B.**
6 is still on the table and the boys got me screaming **THEY NOT LIKE US, THEY NOT LIKE US, THEY NOT LIKE US.**
If you told me we’d win by 30 with no OG and Donte scoring 8 pts and in foul trouble I would believe you because Indiana is S O F T
Burks had more points than Hali.
Team looks rested and is going to get 2 days off
Pacers fucking suck, and are lucky to be here. They’re somehow down in a series vs a crippled team
Close it out Friday with Brunson looking like himself again
Knicks in 6!
Knicks got 15 more offensive boards and shot 30 more shots, that’s the way to win, smother them on the boards
The Black Jokic game
Brunson had to remind everybody who the FUCK he was, don’t ever doubt my MVP
“this is a long fucking series”
Some thoughts:
* McBride starting was a great adjustment
* Great sign we won with nothing from Divo
* Zero worry about Brunsons foot. You could see the difference that it was fine today.
* Hartenstein must be resigned
* shout out to Burkes. You couldn’t have any expectations and he has stepped in and looked very competent in big minutes
* Pacers have to strategically leave Precious open when he is out there.
Feels weird winning a game comfortably this playoffs. KNICKS IN SIX
The pacers got blown out AND held under 100 by a team missing half their rotation.
Best win of my adult life. I was a kid in the 90s. Now let’s go back to Indiana and rip their fuckin throats out on Friday.
We lost by 32 and responded by winning by 30. Fucking poetic
Man, a lot of people had us dead in the water.
We even managed to get some rest tonight and now have an extra day of rest in between. fuck yea
KNICKS IN 6
We have officially gotten farther into the playoffs than last year!
GIVE HARTENSTEIN THE KEYS TO THE CITY SO HE STAYS
Josh Hart played less minutes than Brunson lol
##ITS A LONG FUCKING SERIES
Fuck Reggie Miller, fuck Myles Turner, fuck Tyrese Halliburton, fuck TJ McConnell, fuck Rick Carlisle, and fuck the entire state of Indiana
Knicks were so amazing tonight.
So glad we started with our death lineup and brought Precious off the bench.
It unlocked a new power to our offense and spacing.
iHart absolutely fabulous with the second chance rebounds.
Brunson looking good is the most important hope moving forward.
Where’s the guy who’s wife surprised him with tickets?!
E: better be on that Knicks bed already bud.
Bucks fan coming in malice. Finish these soft ass bitches in Indy
I’ve been a Knicks fan for 30 years now and this might not be the best team of my lifetime but it’s def my favorite
Brunson when guarded by any Indy player:
Combo over rice, chopped cheese, baconeggncheese, cream cheese bagel, dollar pizza slice
What a response from Deuce. The 1st 4 games he looked lost and to get asked to start in the biggest game of the series and to guard Halliburton how he did… while also giving us the momentum in the 1st Quarter. I think this has to be one of the best games from him especially the circumstances
NOT A LOT OF SHIT TALKING NOW YOU REDNECK PIECES OF SHIT!!!
Apparently Halliburton’s face is being printed on the side of milk cartons in Indiana.
Pacers celebrated like they won the championship after their blowout last game. Knicks acted like it was just another day and they had more work left to do. Knicks more focused.
