  1. Did u guys watch the game?!? lol his intent was to drive ans get to the basket but Hart poked the ball out and he had to reset and step back to get a shot up

  2. The officials sure attempted to help NY win and why are commentators so afraid to criticize officials, especially when they make bad calls? It takes away from the game because it's obvious that some officials are bias.

  3. Pacers returned the NBA to playing basketball and playing like a team. Tyrese is a classic point guard who has the lowest turnovers and can do ALL the other things, too: block shots, steal, play defense, rebound, ever get multiple triple doubles (which very few point guards are physically capable of getting). He is the NBA now!

  4. Halliburton's shot was even LUCKIER than Kawhi's to beat Philly way back then–it was a clear miss. But Indy deserved to win, not giving up and coming back from big deficit. If Knicks win Game 2, this could still go 6-7 and they might still have a shot at winning the series. A game 2 loss could mean an ignominious sweep.

  5. Good for the Pacers. It took two years and 5 series to get a win against a team with no injuries. Biggest collapse in history of NBA. Can blame players but I am blaming Thibs.

  6. Up 14 and playing fast as if you’re down 14. Shooting early in shot clock. Throwing it up for fast breaks. Missing free throws. Letting one player get off 5-6 threes. To be fair, refs miss a goaltending call and somehow reverse a clear foul on Siakam because it was a “loose” ball. Make it make sense. 🤦🏻‍♂️

  7. The Knicks didn’t collapse. They were up 7 with 50 seconds to play, and they scored 5 more points. That should have been enough, but the Pacers just hit everything.

  8. Knicks didn’t choke last night. They were annihilated by a reign of 3’s in the last 6 minutes that The NBA has never seen! Go Pacers!!

  9. Nobody talking about game tying shot……..bounced straight up 10 feet and straight in, nothing but net. That’s the universe in charge, not basketball. Knicks won’t win this series

  10. Reggie Miller did the choke sign in 1995, NOT 1994.
    It was Game 1 of the 2nd Round of the Playoffs in 1995, the game where Reggie scored 8 points in 9 seconds.
    The Pacers went on to win that series and play Orlando in the ECF.

  11. Unbelievable how they don’t give him credit. What if what if. He ducking did it though. They won! Damn

  12. Not gonna lie.. i stop watching pacers when miller retired.. Paul or O'Neil i didnt care for watching. But now this team is the best pacers team ever.. not talking ABA days

  13. Dan’s assistants need to help get him better info since he obviously has never watched the Pacers. Nesmith has been at the top or near the top of the NBA for several years in 3-point percentage.

  14. Can it not be that the pacers are just better than the knicks, why is the story always the Knick’s collapse blah blah blah. Shut up with that bs the pacers won because we are better

  15. Holy shit they’re talking about a game and not where Giannis is going to play when he’s 37 years old!?

  16. Indiana had 1 mission, steal 1 game in NY, I don't see this series going 7 now! NY is coming off a 7 game series! The Pacers are young and vibrant

  17. The pacers only had 7 turnovers for the whole game and overtime. That is sound fundamental basketball, hoosiers love sound fundamental basketball! 😂

  18. If you guys would have took 5 minites to watch Halis presser, he said had he known it was a 2 he wouldn't have done the choke sign, and he shot the 3 becasue Bridges poked the ball away on the way for the 2. With all due respect you guys are debating things everyone already knows the answers to.

    Why cant I get paid stupid money to talk about sports, lol

  19. Why is out playing someone a steal ?
    Knicks lack endurance and conditioning.
    The Pacers are built to run.
    The Knicks play 7 , the Pacers play 10 .
    They're gonna gas them…

  20. It's funny how people reacted to choke sign but it was still a choke your up 14 with less than 3 minutes and still lose

  21. I hate how people are making this about the Knicks choking more than this Pacers team, showing themselves to be one of the most resilient NBA playoff teams that we’ve seen in recent memory. This is literally the 3rd come back they had in this playoff where they rallied back in the final minute. It would not surprise me at all, if they got to the finals, and even somehow won the whole thing.

  22. Hali said that he was planning on taking a 2 until Bridges tapped the ball out of his hands just for a second. Then he saw Mitch Rob right in front of him and that's why he backed up and went for the 3.

  23. Knicks did everything to win and it wasn't enough. Don't bash the Knicks….. The Pacers did something extraordinary… Stop the " Knicks choked" nonsense….

  24. Hali did the same thing in Cleveland during game 2…instead of going for the tie he went for the win. And Hali is 12-14 on game tying or winning shots this season total. Every time he shoots a late game shot it's a "good" shot.

  25. There's nothing special about the garden. Let's stop slobbering all over NY starfish.

    If the Pacers had played in Detroit repeatedly, and Reggie had done the choke sign there it would go down in history the same. Legends are made in the playoffs, at the highest level of competition.
