Truth be told, had Game 1 not been gifted to the Knicks by the referees, this should have been closed down already. The Pacers essentially had to win 5 games to win the series.
THANK YOU
Refs in NY was always calling it for the Knicks. It was obvious. Pacers were paying against the Knicks, the refs, Steven A and Punk Lee along with the crowd.
None of that injury talk has nothing to do with the Pacers record breaking shooting, so stop with the excuses
Beat the Celtics 😅 none of these teams beating them
Yes it does. The Knicks had an amazing defense before the Injuries came on. No way the Pacers get that many shots up playing like we were before. Don't worry, the Celtics will humble y'all.
Facts 💯, the pacers were the superior offensive team! Case closed!
Are you restarted? All those injuries to key players and defensive stars helped the pacers shoot better over undersized and tired reserves. Fully healthy Knicks team would smoke pacers. Randle Mitch Bojan Hart Brunson OG is about 70 points and almost all the biggest and strongest players on the team.
@@Alterbridgewwedx we does players healthy, Knicks would’ve won the east
Instead of dwelling on the injuries give pacers credit everything was against them today crowd home court and they beat them soundly
No one credits pacers. They should have swept the Knicks. Yet, they let it go to fame 7.😂😂 pacers performance was an absolute clown show.
Right! Indiana can't help they stayed healthier. Tyrese wasn't in perfect health either, injuries are a part of the grind
@@RahimmacDonaldPacers defensive inabilites wont let them sweep anyone
@@RahimmacDonaldyea a clown show is 67% from the field. Go cry about your L. Knicks going to Cancun buddy go join them
@@RahimmacDonald👋 👋 👋
As a Knicks fan. Please don’t use injury as an excuse. We played Phili with embiid injured. Everybody is injured. We just lost to a better team.
Great effort. On to the next year.
As a Pacers fan thank you. Your team gave our young guys an amazing run and I now have a new most hated player in Donte. This was a very fun series and now you can join us in hating on Boston.
Celtics will beat the pacers. I’m no Knicks fan but I will say pacers had an easy ride all playoffs. The will stop at Celtics
The Heat is coming to take back their Eastern Conference crown next season. Enjoy your little runs. Boston will sweep the Pacers easily then Boston will get swept in the finals.
Why would Boston sweep Pacers when they couldn’t do it to Butler-less Heat and weak ass Cavs without Allen?
@nikpetrovic3877 Your right Boston in 5
Smith and Spike Lee jinx the Knicks
Big Perk jinxed them too😎
He picked to go to the conference finals you know it was a matter of time before they didn't go to the conference finals
Stephen a don’t even care. He’s prolly happy he can get his views up for ESPN tomorrow with his fake rants
It wouldn’t be the first time
I absolute despise this culture of using injury excuses, as if winning the NBA title has never been about being the last man/team standing. To win a title you need to be able to handle injuries and still remain standing. Also let's not go crazy with the moral victories, you need to beat 4 teams to win a chip, Knicks beat 1, settle down.
Now they blame it on injury. Wasn’t talking injury when they was winning lol
They were****
I feel sorry for the Knicks they need help they had a chance and it gets so close and then decide to choke
Dey where*
@@GeorgeNicholls-ox2bgI think they were just ran into the ground
Lose like men! The pacers beat y’all! Benny math was our second best player all year before he went out for the season and we didn’t cry like you all once! Go Pacers!!!
Right! Tyrese had back spasms and hamstring injury earlier but played thru
No he wasn’t. It goes Hali, Siakam, Turner, than Benedict. Pacers played with a lot of hustle but damn y’all had it easy. You had to face an injured Bucks team than an injured Knicks team. Now you guys have to face the Celtics and there pretty healthy. I wish u guys good luck.
Our entire bench turned into our starting roster. Idk how u can compare. If we have healthy randle,Robinson, hart, Brunson, bogdonavic and anunoby. All healthy u are not winning
@@1268bbbBoo hoo maybe don't trade your depth for often injured players. Those guys will never make it to the playoffs healthy in the same season. Poor roster construction.
@@Talking_ComicsKnicks weren't a deep team until after the trades...they just got hurt it's that simple...relatively healthy NY beats the Pacers...after the the trades the Knicks were the 2nd best team in East roster and record wise..injuries play huge part and the best team doesn't always win because of it 🤷🏾♂️
Anyone with half a brain knew the Pacers could make noise in the playoffs. They’ve made me A LOT OF money.
Anybody with a full brain knew the Pacers would beat a bucks team missing their Batman n Robin
@@slapshot68the bucks were trash even with batman and robin
@@asare240 kappachungus.Only team to win a game without their top two scorers in the history of yhe nba
@@slapshot68Pacers were 4-1 against the Bucks in the regular season. 4-2 in the playoffs. Dominated them all season long Bucks fans cry almost as much as Knicks fans
SAS is going on vacation for a week now,First Take new host, Reggie Miller 😆
First okc lost now the knicks he’s gonna retire 😂😂
BOOM BABY.
Not Reggie... Whoopie is the new sas.
No one was beating the Pacers today. Led by Tyrese Haliburton's 26 points, the Pacers shot 67.1%, the highest field goal percentage in any playoff game in NBA history. With six players reaching double digits in scoring, Indiana became the first team to have five players with more than 15 points in a Game 7 since 1987. 🤔🤔🤔
Knicks love to parade the injury excuse, but will quickly discount the fact that they overplay their players
Knicks got bodied
Pacers been lucky all playoffs. Celtics will humble Tyrese and beat the shit out of pacers in terms of scoring and physically as-well
Indy bout to get spank then lol
I think you mean Celtics but Denver or Minnesota will humble Celtics @@RahimmacDonald
Love to see their cringe fans get humbled and make excuses the entire time
@@michellesummer6926 yep 👍🏾 sorry I meant to say Celtics.
Stephen A will jinx anything . Before the playoffs started , i knew injuries would plague NY because stephen a was cheering for them. Hats off to jalen brunson. Humble warrior.
I don't see Stephen A reacting lol
Right pregame he was a loud mouth one sided scum made it all about the Knicks wow pacers won when he finally show a pair wonder what excuse he comes up with I don't respect him hearing him run his mouth about teams for years so who should take him seriously he has no credibility
Your fake thumbnail made me never watch this channel again
By
@@ran510bro I think you ment bye not by smart guy 😂
There were no title dreams. Winning 1 game against the Celtics was the best they could have hoped for.
Stephen A your the jinx
Regardless of the Brunson injury they were losing this game anyway because the pacers were dominating
I think as impressed as we all are with Jalen we knew the Knick’s could not sustain that playing style. I mean 45-48 mins, playing through injuries, running their offense through him every game….
Shout out to my guys good work
How about now wally? How's the wannabe all star? 😂😂😂
He already said he was wrong like a year ago lol
Love this Knicks team. Very proud but sad fan 😢❤
America owes Brunson a debt of gratitude for bouncing the 76ers
Not brunson, but the refs*
Philly was injured and not 1 of yall mentioned injuries when the Knicks won.
Hard for Knicks to win a series without the refs...
@@larrypound5247 facts their the best foul baiting team in the league and flopping. The officials didn’t save them like games 1&2 but the Knicks had way more foul attempts than the Pacers
Exactly noone gave the sixers grace for their injuries I dont want to hear the injury excuse now
Knicks got their asses spanked, and Stephen A Smith can now shut up. Tired of him, he thinks he's Mr. ESPN. I use to like ESPN but they given this cat way to much power. Thats why NBA on TNT is the best pregame show around. Somewhere Skip Bayless is laughing it up
I’m not using injuries as an excuse but. People fail to realize the Knicks whole starting line up was hurt. The only person from the starting 5 in was hart, and he was injured
Sounds like you're using injuries as an excuse haha
Doesn’t matter. How about Knicks build their trash bench instead of y’all fans hating on a fire pacers team with depth
@@kianaboo81 they ran through the bench too that’s why the 3rd string achiuwa was in
Yeah you right...The knicks are soft. That's why they're all injured 😂😂😂
Yes, because your coach is notorious for running starters into the ground and refusing to rotate in bench players often, as to where the pacers make sure their bench players are quality so they can rotate often and keep their stars healthy
Pacers beat the knicks and the story is how the knicks lost… wtf
Brunson is a 1B Knicks won't win a championship if he's there best player, they need to make a trade to find that guy for Julius Randall and the first round picks. The scoring was there for brunson because he was a high volume shooter but the efficiency wasn't there multiple games so he tried to foul hunt hard to get points.
Damn never thought Stephen A name will be used as Click Bait lol
Pacers had a key player injured…. Nobody brought that up
Don’t talk about it, be about it. PACERS!!
They got Out-Paced gg knicks. we'll see you next year
If you were previously following the Raptors, you'd know OG was only planning on playing 5 minutes before he even stepped on the court.
A team that plays heavy ISO and banks on extra possessions was never going to win a chip in modern day basketball anyhow. This was a 90s throwback team. They also faltered in the exact way everyone expected under Thibs. No surprises here.
Brunson average 32 point on 26 shots per game ... 44% fg and 31% from 3. This is not a superstar as much as he's fun to watch. He plays exactly the same with a healthy roster. Been saying it all year, he looks more a number 2 on a contender like Kyrie.
The future is looking better for the Knicks. I am glad.
Now Szczerbiak want to try give pacers props. GTHOH
Think about this the Knicks waited 29 years and got smoked. The Celtics have like 2 game 7s a year
Like Draymond said Noone was saying when they beat the cars Kyrie or love was hurt. Or when they lost klay and Durant was hurt. Its what happened let's go indy #BOOMBABY
Brooklyn made it to the eastern conference finals with a depleted team..no excuses..
When was this lol
@@JeebyTube the 2021-2022 season if I'm not mistaken.. when Kevin Durant toe was on the line..
@@brianwilson1608 that was the 2bd round gang
Dahhhh, The Nets only got to the second round. Dahhh
As a knicks fan myself, injury in comparison does matter, I dont care what you say, we had Jalen Brunson play through Injury, Og play through (Barely), Josh Hart play through, our best bench player out in Bojan, and our 2nd best player in general in Randle out as well, who were the pacers missing? When Embiid was injured we still was missing Randle and lost Bojan in what, game 2? All im saying is if you put a bunch of crippled players forced to play at an NBA caliber then of course some records will be broken, for sure
As a cowboys fan ,love what happen to Stephen a smith😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I respect the original post your realistic I am a hoosier and was a pacers fan since 1985 when I was old enough but knowing Knicks fans are passionate but harassed pacers fans I mean seriously it's only a game
Pacers has a player out for rest of the year....pacers are good. & well only get better
GET RID OF THAT COACH!... You running all those guys dead and guys on one leg getting injuries left and right in one series, now you know what Philly was dealing with but the Knicks did it to themselves.... Tom Thibedeaux did this, coach did this to his own team so it's a self-destructive process from training camp to when the season ends... this guy Tibbs can have 10 deep but he'll play 6 or 7 and wear out the squad...sad.
I'm not a Knicks fan but come on they have had a slew of bad luck with people hurt.
Knicks... They were gonna lose anyway. No matter if Brunson played or not
This team will not get this far again.
I'm sorry but it was absolutely disgusting how ESPN, and all of sports coverage had the Knicks back... Pacers are a 6th seed, they don't even belong here... New York was a 2 seed and y'all acted like Indiana was a goat that needed to be beat... The fact Indiana made it this far, is a story itself... Not new York being eliminated in a game 7... It's about time this league takes notice, Indiana is a very young team.... Give them credit because all series not even ESPN gives them credit....
And you Knicks fan better not compare what Reggie did to you, compared to Tyrese.... Reggie did it for years, Tyrese just began.... After all didn't u pass on Tyrese in the draft.. it's not comparable yet, but yeah he's definitely barking...
If I were Knicks, I would start trading and get rebuilding...there's is no way you guys can beat Boston or Denver (at full health). Best to tank, to get the best assets and get out of the way of of these dynasty teams
Knicks never stood a chance.. and they shouldn't..
I pray my Pacers add a piece defensively over the off season because the Knicks are gonna be scary.💯
Jalen 'Linsanity' Brunson, the cheap and physical play will not lead to success. Definitely the end is here, Jeremy Lin only lasted a year this team will be out of the playoffs the next 10 years.
But he didn’t prove it in the playoffs he had back to back horrible games and the kickboxers were not even competitive in back to back playoff games .Cancun is nice losers
You guys need a center, someone that can be a bill russell mindset and a defensive general
the Knicks is the Dallas cowboys of basketball, The Accident Waiting To Happen, 'What can go wrong, will go wrong as a cowboys fan love it Stephen A. LOL
Unbelievable...nobody gave us a chance, now that we won y'all are still talking about rhe LOSERS and making excuses! 😂😂😂😂😂
Didn’t hear nothing about these injuries before the game all these idiot Knick fans were saying they were gonna win but they lost so now it’s the injuries
Oh I don't want to hear it. Injury this injury that. Pacers are a good team
Knicks got karma for trash talking F Miller
overhyped overconfident
Literally pacesetters got y’all no excuses
Lmao, they had no fight today, they made baby run with Brunson and didn’t get close . This is the end of the Knicks , the hawks of 2016
All i hear is their excuses. The Pacers are the better team.
The New York "BRICKS!" Lost!!
Your title dreams were over after game seven win or lose
Yeah, I hate to break it to you Steven even if the Knicks were healthy day ain’t winning that game with the Pacers shooting 67%
With the Knicks healthy it wouldn't even be a game 7
Hey Brick, Sonny would like to have a word with you. You bet the money he gave you on the Knicks & he wants all of it back!
Donte Divi is a bad dude he got me a lot of money against pacers
Shit Indiana was beating y’all even if y’all had Spreewell and Houston out there along with Melo and Linsanity . Brunson going down had no effect on that ass whooping !!!
All networks fully disappointed lol
video got reported as missleading
Why not give the PACERS their props?
😂😂😂😂😂As much grief Stephen A gives us Cowboy fans this feels good, holler!!!!at cha boy!!!!!
It's always the LOSER NBA PLAYERS that blame injuries on loss and say there is a bright future PLEASE Knicks had injuries during season and still got 2 seed so give me a break what a CHOKE the CELTICS haven't had Porzingis since early 1st round and they knocked both of their opponents 4-1 so give me a break
Pirzongis is their 3rd or 4rth best player...Boston 2 best players and Holiday still available...terrible comparison
Denvers -Indiana NBA Final
😂😂😂 Knicks cowboys Lakers Celtics fans all delusional
No said anything bout my Heat being injured tho when did they understand our situation 🤔
Miami can say that too with injuries
Oh they're knick homers that explains it.
holy shit I lost a lot of money
Lack of depth ruined your chances. You team is bad
What is wrong with you dude all 5 started out and you say it has nothing to with the win what world are you in ??
Stephen a smith this what u get when you dance on Dallas cowboys grave 😂😂😂😂
so the NY KNICKS have 1 player on the roster who is clutch. where are the rest of them? HART IN nice. but that's it. I think OG IS A FREE AGENT, SO HE'S GONE
Click bait
Maaaaaan 🛑 with the excuses! It’s playoff basketball 🏀,where the refs are equally shitty on both sides! Injuries happen (gotta adjust) and the only reason Indiana won is cuz they shot 🔥 balls all game! Y’all were down by 16 when Brunson hurt his hand. No excuses allowed Steven A!! And by the way, this is the year of the 🐜! Y’all are just pieces in his story! Go wolves!
They lost stop singing the praises the pacers won talk about that no its always bout the bum knicks
I said it before the series began that the knicks are the worst 2 seed team in the Playoffs
that’s what the knicks get for trying to rigged the playoff, karma got to this mediocre team, nice fluke year though!
Pacer’s are trash they will be going nowhere wow the beat two teams filled with injuries let’s see how they do against a healthy Celtics team
Knicks are Overrated
Pacers are overrated as well
F all that we want B, let's see you Pusha P
Hey Wally! You remember what u said. What you saying now?
Congratulations Pacers
Stephen yeah 3-1 a few days later 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
They was up 3-2 tho
NBA si Sim now
They are desperately looking for the new superstar and no one has it
Yeah but what does Sizer think of his wanta be all star. How does that crow taste?😢
Overrated
So much copium
HOW BOUT THEM NEW YORK KNICKS 😂🤣🤣🤣🤣!
