The Pacers have been on a generational Mickey Mouse run. No hate but I mean damn. The Bucks were missing Giannis/Dame and the Knicks lord have mercy, Randle out, Hart with a strained knee, Mitchell Robinson knee stress injury, OG hamstring, Bojan Bogdonovic broken wrist and broken foot, now Brunson broken hand. Good lord help the Infirmary Knicks😂😂😂
@@ChupapiyayayaThe OP is just pointing out that a team doesn't often get that much luck from injuries during the playoffs. We'll discount Randle being out, since he was gone since January, but Mitchel and OG getting injured was seriously favorable for Indiana, because it left Hartenstein and Hart with the duty of crashing the boards and slugging it out with bodies everywhere. We don't have to state the impact that missing Dame & Giannis had on the previous series too. And, as loathe as I am to say anything good about Boston, Indiana is seriously mismatched against them. Holiday and Derick W are going to agitate those guards all night, leaving Brown & Tatum to roam freely on the other end. Siakim is good but him and Turner don't have the capacity to match up well with JT & JB. Not in a series.
@@amrey3628 Yeah like I mean damn. Have we ever seen better postseason luck than this from the Pacers? It’d be one thing if the 9th or 10th man was hurt but literally every important player in round 1 and 2 were hurt. The Pacers are on a generational Mickey Mouse run💀💀💀
@@user-jh9tq6rt8dthey did it early in the season..as yaw that the in season tournament was a fluke...players play when 750,000 are at stake..that showed me their mentality as a team..if LA'S REEVES wasnt wore down (coaches stupidity midway)..& Dlo stopped dissaperring..LA had leads but lbj & AD needed more help. So after Ind got over trading buddy held..Halliburton had to adjust...but they knew from the tournament what yhey had & kept winning..BOSTON'S next..its a great match up...MCCONNELL & JURE HOLIDAY are the keys..watch!!. My Pacers must be ready to deal with the refs as underdogs, & that crowd always get what they want.
In agree with Nick....no one can say definitively that Thibs allowing these guys to play so much contributed to their injuries.....But if your playing a lot then that's more wear and tear.
I get the over work analogy, i used to work at a pizza joint where i had to take and make the order then deliver it. Plus clean up at the end of the night lol Shit wears on you
Not that anyone cares but in my preseason standings predictions I had Boston Milwaukee NY and Cleveland in that order. So basically what I’m saying is I should be on tv 😂
NICK is right! I was thinking the same thing the coach was over using Brunson & new he couldnt keep that energy since the 76ers win..& last 3gms I saw it..b/c my guy the tireless MCCONNELL..(our coach rested him at times for the last round vs NY) He literally wore Brunson down you msy get 30 but yaw gonna feel it..hes the only guy with the foot work & stay in front of him & the double was effective ...either give it up or keep dribbling & guess what imma still be in front of you..shorty..(thats they key b/c he dosent reg shoot over the top of his head its out & up.
Thibs is like the Kyle Shanahan of of the nba. But tbh the old school philosophy of pushing as hard as you can and getting every bit out of a player is to me the best way to build a great team for the playoffs. It can be costly with some bad luck as nick is alluding to, more time in the game the more chance to get hurt, but you can’t gameplan around bad luck imo. As for “over- worked injuries” I genuinely think there just needs to be more responsibility put on the players to be in the greatest shape you can be. I just don’t see how guys can be paid as professional athletes and a preposterous amount of money and not be the very peak version of their fitness. There’s a reason Tom Thib teams have a certain roster construction of players because he doesn’t tolerate guys who don’t take it as seriously as they can.
Goat status requires hardware. 2 things can be true at once, he hasn't won enough yet to be considered the goat and he's the best player we've ever seen
@@swish52621 Demar is not washed up, he has Knick DNA, underrated, tough in the same quiet way Brunson is, & he’d take the scoring pressure off of everybody else. There isn’t many people that fit in as a Knick, he’s the one guy that can upgrade this roster without taking away from it.
@@DJJ616 brunson hasn’t either lol, embid is a super star and hasn’t led nobody to winning……. There is zero argument for kyrie not to be considered that the only thingis having the media on his side which will never happen cause of the dumb thing he is done before
@@angelo_mdc7798 I don’t know if you’re new to basketball but literally every time kyrie has been asked to take on a leadership role , that situation has ended in disaster He’s either left or demanded a trade away The shit Brunson is doing rn , kyrie ain’t even done as the number 1 option , this nigga is not that guy , he’s never been that guy
One of the best Monday shows they’ve had. Definitely top 5 😂💯
Top 5 all time
Gobert junper is like Jokic making those crazy shots vs Lakers last season. Glad to see him on another side.
The difference is Jokic is a tough shot maker. Gobert is not a shot maker, period.
@@NBAStatsGuruexcatly
Gobert cant even hit a ft
This was wild
Except Jokic routinely hits stupid jumpers that seem like they shouldn't go in, Rudy doesn't.

I love this response from Brunson too
I played Bobby in an all-American tournament in HS. I’m a line cook now makin $16/HR… life is cruel 😂😂
Empty gym is crazy 😂
Nick would run a Ponzi scheme 🤣

Did Nick just describe Amazon 😂
Yes yes indeed
Hate that 90% of the discourse about this series is about the team that LOST. Give Indy some love people!
I love how Nick has hate for Reggie Miller and takes his constant jabs ever few episodes lol.
Mad take on the Celtics and Mac’s comparison. Yes they both have two stars. Cancel them out. 4 out of the next 5 best players are Celtics.

Brunson shot 33% last 3 games

Brunson was 6-17, not 7-16 FG.
They like the knocks because of Tom. Because how hard he makes them play. They over achieved
“Best we’ve ever seen. He’s not the GOAT though.” Say you’re a clown without saying you’re a clown…

@@abezzzy121 no
This offseason is Demar Derozan or bust for the Knicks! Get rid of Bojans contract and we’ll have the money! DEMAR DEROZAN 🗣️
Adding an older demar to an overworked Knicks team? No thank you. Not to mention he’s a notorious choker in the playoffs.
@@swish52621 Demar is not washed up, he has Knick DNA, underrated, tough in the same quiet way Brunson is, & he’d take the scoring pressure off of everybody else. There isn’t many people that fit in as a Knick, he’s the one guy that can upgrade this roster without taking away from it.
I wouldn't mind him as the 6th man would be a great addition
Brunson is a super star but kyrie is not?? Make it make sense………… besides being a better all around player kyrie is more marketable than brunson
Marketability isn’t that important, lamelo is a popular guy , doesn’t make him a superstar
Kyrie has proven that he can’t lead a team
Kyrie isn't better than Brunson, sorry

Thibs is not to blame.
The albino guy is happy that the Knicks lost
Nick is still so salty his boyfriend LePookie got dominated by the Nuggets
You love chewing Jordan don’t you
Bron better than you your old as dad and I keep on going
You and that salty as coach need some sauce for them nuggets
Say something
I’ll would put the heat of fire to Jordan you gone cry for ya daddy
