Pacers in 4
Boston had too much hubris
"Losing to the Knicks feels like death"!!😂😂😂😆😆😭😭
Congrats to the Knicks. They were the better team down the stretch of almost every game and they made it count. However, I noticed them celebrating last night like they won the championship. The job isn’t done, and if they go into the ECF with the attitude like they won already they’re gonna get swept
Losing to the Knicks is like death sheesh 😂
He said losing to the Knicks feels like death 😂.. Put the nail in the coffin bury his a$$.. You lost to NY go kick rocks.. 🧡 and 💙 skies
Knicks in 5.
I rolled up a blunt last night about 8 in long and just finished smoking it for the Nicks in 6 ⛽⛽⛽⛽⛽⛽🥶🥶💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯🫡
Saying the Celtics quit is incredibly harsh and unfair….they lost their best player and SAS bashing them and Kornet just doesn't make sense
All the media over exaggerated how well they thought Celts would do and now they're criticizing them for not meeting the unreal expectations that they set
NY on that crack high ✨ 🎉!!!!!
Brunson trying so hard not to laugh at Kats voice
11:39 “Gender free basketball” is wild
Not a knicks fan but how good is their bench man did not sub his starters a lot
Porzingis didnt even play much the whole season and still was useless in this series smh
Pacers , Knicks , Celtics , Bucks , Hawks have all made it to the conference finals before Embiid and the 76ers
Appreciated
Nova Knicks in Six! They got the clamps
Wrong again Stephen. Knicks in 5!!!
SAS 😅 he knows Indiana can put em up in BUNCHES!!😅 Indiana became my 2nd favorite team last season
Thibathoue and Knicks deserve this
The switch up is crazy😂 but hey, I understand what it is. It is what it is. You gotta feed the dumb people.😂
Jalen Brunson another nico harrison reject.
Thibs doesn't get enough credit. He has such a good culture in NY. He's pulled a lot out of KAT and Brunson
Really good, fun team to watch
What are yall talking about
Knicks have a top 3-5 starting line up in the league
How did they fail to make 4 straight conference finals, and they won the chip last season?
Just how we like it as underdogs as pacers fans. We just gonna keep shutting the haters up
If I'm the Knicks I'm feeding KAT often against the pacers. They don't have a frontcourt that's defensive minded
Knicks have two All NBA type players. How don't they have high end talent?
I got Knicks in 5 or 6 against the pacers
Why do people think it's an "excuse" to mention a team losing can also be due to that team losing their best player to injury? Reality is not an excuse, it's the truth.
10:16 how can Stephen A forget to mention Pascal Siakam, who’s probably the only player on that Pacer team who’s a champion. And their coach in Rick Carlisle is a championship coach as well.
The Celtics Got Gasses up last year from the Injury Riddle Playoffs .. that chip they aint really deserve it
for all teams they choose to lose NY this will marked big time, rivalry 101
Cs fan here. Knicks did an awesome job since preseason with the acquisitions. I don't care what the regular season records were we were evenly matched. When Tatum went down there was absolutely no chance they were beating a healthy Knicks team. SAS is totally off by saying they quit. They were just not going to beat the Knicks twice. I think they have the best team left with all the weapons of Denver is knocked out. Good luck to NYC.
Why is no one talking about the Timberwolves
The knicks still would have won even if tatum didn't get injured. They were built to beat the celtic. And the pacer were built to beat the cavs. The regular season doesn't matter. It's important to do well and make the playoffs but at the end of the year, it's the playoffs that matter more. We see it in football all the time in the playoffs when divisional rivals play in the playoff and one of the team sweep there divisonal rival 2-0 that regualr season, usually the team who lost twice in the regular season wins the playoffs bc its hard to beat a team 3 times in one year in football.
I was scared of boston i will be honest but after the knicks went up 2-0 i was less stressed. Boston is a great team and honestly they are better they have a higher potential but thats why we play the game to see what happens.
I am scared of the pacers and the cavs. Even detroit and Orlando scare me. Pistons and the magic are taken leaps next year they need their young player to reach their primes.
Again the pacers scare me they are tough especially if they play their game and the pacers are always in the game even down 20.
