"desperate times call for desperate measures" 😂
H
Knicks getting calls? I’m shocked
Everyone crying again? Shocked.
Knicks vs wolves is what the NBA wants
Facts!!!
Really ??@@brazy6191
I love the NBA these players are highly skilled win or loss
Dallas let a beast go…happy to see him open up more and show his talent being explosive 🧨
This dude Jalen Brunson is on another level and what are they putting in his Gatorade the boy is going nuts
Lack of good defense will do that 👍
@@Nite2012Marestop hating bro he killed every defender this year on him that guarded him
spaacejam juice he prob drank MJ sweat lol xD
@@floxkb he hasn't met good defense in the playoffs yet and he manufacturers fouls like Harden used to. I never said he sucked 🙄😂😂
@@JoinTeamSammy spacejam juice is off the charts
Calls get missed everyday B. I been here since Ewing missed the finger roll. Year after year we weren't getting calls, now we are. Booo hooo!
No one said a thing about calls when Embiid shot 21 free throws and the entire Knicks team combined for 19 free throws in game 3 last series or dirty plays. Just focused on his 50 points
Nor were they going this hard about Maxey traveling and it not being called before he hit the game tying 3
What does that have to do with this?
Jalen brunson is the truth
Big shot Brunson
Facts he's trained to be a champion
No he's not Paul pierce is. 😅 but he's real good. Just needs a different nickname.
@@danielperry6557 ✋️🍆🍽
Legier sounds SALTY
Just I want to tell firstTake crew guest host co-host that thank you guys for the commenting and analysis the games.. Love you so much…God bless you guys and your families 💜💜💜💜
The call should be made. The problem is the 99% of the time where its not called. Now the refs can stop any play they want at any time they want because an illegal screen happens on every play. And they'll be in teh right. One of the biggest problems is illegal screens not being enforced. By the way the knicks got called for 2 illegal screens this game before this. So was it enexcusable when the knicks had 2 plays stolen when the pacers had 1? Call the fouls correctly.
Haliburton scores six points on 2-6 shooting with 4 turnovers, but the refs are the reason indiana lost. Every team has bad calls/non-calls go against them at various points throughout a game. To be a championship team, you have to be able to find ways to win even in games where you're getting screwed by the referees. Indy wasn't able to do that
The calls made during the last 2 minutes have more weight. That kickball was horrendous in which pacers was on the verge of a fast break opportunity. So knicks fans can say whatever but pacers got screwed by the refs bad.
@@julianfoddrell9370jalen brunson scoring 43 was a bigger reason they won than the refs blowing a few calls
@@gmen1055 calls late in the game when pacers had fast break opportunities is vital. Not 43 points lol
@@julianfoddrell9370one bad call followed up by 2 good calls
Indi got screwed out of 2 points and that’s all
Play defense instead of bitching the game was tied too. 😂
@lightningjuniorsuper plus the shot clock violation on haliburton which he got it off on time. But late calls can determine the game, basically what I'm saying and it did. Gave knicks the momentum and chances. Let's be real here
Brunson proved again last night why he is the best player in these playoffs
Brunson burner is cooking, but if he doesnt have it going the Knicks are in trouble, they really do struggle to produce offense without him.
The knicks won the first two games of the philly series when brunson wasn't himself. But I agree, eventually it won't work out for them.
I mean they have McBride who is also a tough cover! And The big RAGU, The pacers have to keep the knicks off the GLASS AND limit THE OTHER PLAYERS IF THEY GONNA LET JALEN GO FOR 43 the rest should have 25 among them!
for sure, this is how its been since randle went down. even more losing a bench scorer like bojan last series
sure didn't have a problem in games 1+2 v PHI when brunson was cold as ice and the knicks found a way.
His offense is so reliable tho the way he gets to the line
Devo got called for the same foul earlier in the game, wheres the outrage, stop, ESPN is embarrassing, he cant screen if player cant see opposing player, plain and simple, leglar is a clown.
BSPN all day bro!!!
Exactly!!!
Calling that the “exact same” is just incorrect though, wym.
Calls finally going our way now everybody mad foh
All media today forgot to mention the screen was challenged by Carlisle and failed. How is it a bad call if it was challenged and failed?
Same moving screen flop was called against Devo and Knicks @2:30 left in fourth quater. We were up four points. Nobody cried then. Go watch replay. 2:30 left fourth quarter
Unpopular opinion: They need to replace Haliburton on USA with Brunson. Especially once the Knicks win this series ‼️ he’s been horrible in the playoffs and since he came back from injury meanwhile Brunson playing like a superstar
They already have enough scorers.
FIBA refs are different than NBA refs, that's why Brunson wasn't invited to the USA Basketball team
Tyrese is a pass first guard, they dont need another scorer
Brunson can facilitate as well🤝🏼 he’s got 12+ assist this season and post season. The Knicks need a scorer that’s why he scores. He’s a better player then Hali
@@masongreen1371 ☝🏼
Thank you Shannon
THANK YOU ESPN for leaving this in 😂 12:55 “Oh this is oxtail, plantains, cornbread..” - Shannon Sharpe. I love Shannon bruh
"well congratulations here's some cookies and milk for you" 🍪🥛
😂😂😂
If there's anything that the Pacers fan should be mad about, it should be that Halliburton barely showed up for the game.
Exactly. Bench scoring 46 - 3. Why were Knicks that close
Tim asked to see it again at the 10:30......nope😂 NYC baby in the wrong ESPN studio dawg 😂
nyk being protected by mafia refs. 🤧😭
Right😂
Stephen A smith just chilling. Another iconic meme created 5:36 😂
“It’s an illegal screen but it shouldn’t be called” make that make sense please
im a knicks fan. you have to give the pacers a chance to win the game unless the screen is egregious. you dont call that. youre taking the ball out of the players hands and putting the outcome in the refs hands. im happy they won but it felt a little cheap
@@LAMEHERC1you’re not a Knicks fan 😂
@@LAMEHERC1 i get your point but two wrongs don’t make a right, just because they made a mistake in one call doesn’t mean they shouldn’t make the next call just to compensate for previous mistake
@@canucan i really am a Knicks fan. It’s called being a competitor and wanting to win straight up. You would feel good about your team fraudulently winning a championship? Knowing they didn’t deserve it?
@@LAMEHERC1 Bad calls happen nearly every game to nearly every team. So yeah, this isn't the one to feel like it's a fake win over.
I'm with Legler on this. That screen call on Turner was bogus, and I was even rooting for the Knicks.
Pacers fan here. Hali's two turnovers down the stretch killed us. I'm just laughing think about all of the casuals who were already talking Knicks/Celtics, talking about 4-0 or 4-1 on this series. Its going to be a great series. If I had to bet my own money, I'd take the Knicks, but the fan in me says we leave Indy after game 4, 2-2 and anything goes.
Media just hates giving Knicks and Brunson and flowers. The disrespect for this team and this player is historical
So to Tim’s logic guys should just commit all types of violations and as long as it’s late you shouldn’t call it
I really don't understand the argument. Everyone agrees it's a moving screen but yall are saying they shouldn't call it cause the game is on the line??! Makes no sense. Go knicks baby
Excellent point. If that is the case then the refs should not have called a foul on Mitchell Robinson on Tyrese Maxey.
It’s cause they it’s the Knicks, it’s New York. They hate New York cause they ain’t New York.
That kick ball was definitely the wrong call but when calls in this game and in the 6ers series went against the Knicks it’s not brought almost at all. It’s ok for the Knicks not to get calls but when other teams don’t get them get boats ready for the rivers that are going to be cried and call the wambulances
I think the issue is many of those same scenarios go uncalled throughout every game so why call in when it dictates how a game finishes. The refs were baited by Donte on that one.
They’re saying if you’re going to call that call it consistently or let everyone get away with it.
Brunson should be the story of the game. But they rather focus on missed calls. Knicks had 15 turnovers to Indiana 8. Knicks managed 22 points off of turnovers and Indiana 13 points off of turnovers.
The Knicks have had questionable reffing all year lol
Against them lol
@@vision8641word!!!!!!!
@@vision8641we must’ve cost Vegas a lot of money by playing hard and winning
@@vision8641both but they don’t want to talk about the other side or barely do. It goes against their narrative.
I think the only call that has been argued the Knicks way is that Joel should’ve been ejected which probably makes that a sweep. Every thing else barely gets mentioned if at all.
Yeah, going against them forever
Carlisle is somehow once again underrated
one of the elite coaches. they may have lost but his coaching is way above thibs
Great coaching job
This went on the whole Sixers series too. Fix is undefeated.
The Knicks have gotten the brunt of bad calls against them since the 90's... yall stop! NBA says it better when the Knicks have a good team... but the entire league is against them. 🤷🏾♂️
Thank you Shannon timing of the game should not matter whether you should call a foul or not it was a moving screen so you have to call it. Someone tell Leglar to go cry in the car
He said " I'm not talking about the officials ", and then immediately talked about the officials!
Was that Rick Carlisle or Jim Carrey playing Rick Carlisle?
Kicked the ball with his hand, that's crazy
Jalen Brunson's scoring run is on another stratosphere right now! Sheesh!!!!
Legs is sooo mad. Hahaha!
pacers fan here, we did not finish the job that simple. Knicks have a squad its gonna have to be a dogfight. Brunson is incredible dude gets where he wants to go his playstyle is so unorthodox but he does so well
As a loong suffering Knicks fan happy we got the win, hoping we we win game 2
You have to stop Brunson from doing this. You have to stop Brunson from doing that. You can’t let Brunson go here. You can’t let Brunson go there.
39/47/40/41/43…
Ik right I guess they don’t pay attention to the scouting report
Go back a couple of plays and pacers flopped on Donte and got a call so he did the same and got the call
Rick look like Jim Carrey brother no cap 😂😂😂
they even reviewed it.... how are they disagreeing it?
What about when Hali got called for the foul on Brunson and it was challenged. But the ball was kicked and the Pacers still got possession
Yeah I didn’t get that call at all I’m watching the replay thinking it’s still gonna be Knicks ball regardless and then they say pacers ball and neither refs or commentators explained why it was pacers ball when the reason the pacers got clear possession is because the ball was kicked
Forget reffing, where was Haliburton?
did he even play last night?
He went MIA
As a Pacers fan it's been driving be nuts that TJ McConnell isn't having more minutes. Hali is hurt with his back spasms. McConnell has been playing awesome! Several games we've seen TJ using his speed to drive past bigger defenders and get easy layups. Hali isn't attacking the paint enough (because he's not 100%) but if he attacked the paint he'd at least wear Brunson out so he doesn't get 40, possibly get fouls on him, and Hali needs to remember he has midrange! Hali is taller, but not as strong. I hate the officiating in game one, but the Pacers have the tools to win if they would just balance minutes better. If Brunson has 43 on 14/26 and Hali has 6 on 2/6, Hali isn't being aggressive on offense, which means Brunson isn't wasting energy on defense and having lots left for offense.
You can't say it's a moving screen then say it's the worst moving screen call makes no sense
Rick Carlisle might go down as being the most underrated coach in the history of the NBA!
So is the gambling having an effect on the refs🤔?
3:01 this is why Analyst with bias shouldn’t be on TV - SAS a corn ball
Pissed we lost but it was a good game
Now I WONDER-- who would the NBA like to see win this series? The Indiana Pacers...or the team in Americas largest city/media market (that plays right down the street from the NBA's world headquarters). Hmmm.
Funny how when they blow more egregious calls against Knicks and they lose it’s a non story but when it’s in Knicks favor it’s the headline all day
For two straight series refs gives Knicks all the calls smh Knicks getting carried by rigged refs
Business!!
This is a good lineup for the show. Ship it.
4th quarter Knicks really is a thing!! Let’s go knicks
Nesmith had 4 fouls guarding brunson, Newhart had 5 fouls😂😂😂legless is totally lost
League feels that if Knicks doing well, Nba doing well. So no surprise a bit of help from officiating. But Pacers are good, Knicks gonna lose this one. But if not, will be happy if KP will be back on time to shine again in MSG and send them home in conference finals
If thats the case why havent knicks been winning in more than 20 years?
@@shadowdef10468 everyone hate mr. Dolan :D but be real. Knicks are lucky Bucks, 76ERS and Miami with injures. Cavs and Magic even looked better then Knicks. Pacers had a chance to steal awat game and they may still do it
@@kri6635let’s be real then
The Knicks can easily go to toe to toe with those teams even at full health
In fact when fully healthy the Knicks have either split games with those teams or trashed them
No. Pacers gonna take the series. But hope im wrong. Would be nice to see KP back in MSG for conference final.
Pacers is not winning bro
It’s kinda funny how Knicks fans don’t have a problem with the officiating when it benefits them and they say “get over it “ but when it goes against them they cry about it like children
That’s literally every fan base in sports…
@@hisuiangengar8169 fair point but I just feel like Knicks fans are worse
@@jordantrejo9776 yeah maybe, my guess is they are just excited right now cause they haven’t had a team balling like this in a looooong time. I’m not even a basketball fan but I live in the NY area so I’m supporting them. But even I know this is the Knicks NBA finals cause no way in hell they are beating Boston next round
@@hisuiangengar8169 yeah I guess that’s fair but I’m not counting out the Pacers, they could win this series, they beat the Bucks granted it was without Giannis but Dame was playing, Halliburton must be better for them to win
Related news: the sky is blue
Brunson is a beast. He gets bucket everytime. Pacers lost because Hali left. On top of that, Pacers lost like 2-3 crucial ball position last 3 minutes of the game. Stephen A had to hide under those sunglasses coz he knew. lol
Rick looking like Jim Carrey
Tim Legler makes no sense, “Yes, by the letter of the law it’s a good call, but at the time of the game it’s terrible” that makes no sense.
Exactly! I don’t mind the argument about the call being right or wrong, legal or illegal cause that is debatable. But to say the call was right but be mad that they called it is just utter stupidity. They should be mad at the defender for committing it at that moment in the game
@@hisuiangengar8169 it doesn’t make sense cause you didn’t listen. He said the call itself wasn’t the issue, BUT THE INCONSISTENCY of when they call it. It’s really that simple and if you don’t get that, watch more sports
@@luisquinones7511 interesting, you tell me to watch more sports cause I allegedly “didn’t listen” to what he’s saying. I think your comment should be telling me to listen again rather than watching more sports. Wow lots of bad takes today, must be something in the air
@@hisuiangengar8169 no you need to listen more AND watch more sports. Type less comments and the world and your sports intelligence will be better for it
It makes sense when for the last 15 years, the NBA has said that screen is okay. Makes even more sense when you see the Knicks got away with a much more egregious moving screen within that same minute of play.
Mpv race is between Edwards and Brunson!!
But it seems like if he doesn’t score 40 they lose Kniccs go as Brunson goes it’s like iverson in the sixers he has to put up big numbers to win the game ….. in that’s just burning him out Truth In the Details
Miles Turner gotta know not to foul in that situation. Don't leave it in the Officials hand. Simple.
It’s hard to believe that ref didn’t have some kinda money on the game when he missed and made the 3 most egregious plays of the game
In a row at that
The coach of the team said he doesn’t wanna talk about officiating because he doesn’t expect to get calls in his favor and yet the analysts decide to make the segment about the refs 🤦🏿♂️.
Brunson playing as good as anybody in 30 years, historic run.... and we are talking about refs.
Jalen is playing great, but MIL and IND aren’t exactly defensive juggernauts…
Only The Warriors are allowed illegal screens
Shay Shay on point
The world hates that the Knicks don’t suck 😭😭
What you know about oxtail?😋😋😋😁
The nba want the Knicks in the finals
Those two crucial CALLS were the difference makers because it was towards the END of the GAME..
Pacers 4-1 in the last 5 series vs ny lol
Leading the rivarly ez
And winning the eye test now.
I love the knicks as a pacer fan, got a softspot for em
Nothing better than this era change as all the old heads on vacation than knicks pacers kicking off another decade of eastern confrence playoff matchups!
It's crazy how easily he draws fouls.
I don’t care about the time of a call… if it’s a violation, it’s a violation period 🤷🏽♂️
Ok what about bro doing the same thing
Media still hating on the Knicks as usual 😂. If the Knicks lost due to bad calls we would hear nothing about it and they would be praising the pacers. Now everyone talking about the officiating. Sure, those calls were bad but it goes both ways over the course of the game.
Enjoy Stephen A. You aint getting those calls against Boston. NBA desperate to get a big market east team in because there are none out west left.
He was not moving especially since it just happened on the other end. Should have never been called. Go Pacers.
Ok, so if Indiana does the same to NY as Minn is doing to Denver, then it's a wrap....but we know that's not going to happen.....Go Spike Lee🎉🎉🎉🎉
Shannon is so wrong it makes me want to scream ! The time when a foul is call does matter. Making one that can decide the game can only happen in a tight contest at the end.
Funny how they make such a big deal about a call that is the right call(at the wrong time however) but when Embiid pulled Mitch Rob leg they barely mentioned it. Pathetic.
The Pacers lost by not making it one key adjustment. The Knicks were singling out baby face Nembhard all game long. Why he was in the game as much as he was is crazy to me.
It’s fine if they call the Turner screen but they should have called the DiVincenzo screen AND the kickball. Makes it hard to root for the Knicks now.
the bench argument doesnt work for the knicks its 6 ppl that like actually play
That offensive foul was BS. Anyone who says otherwise is full of it and made a huge difference!
Brunson dropped 21 in the 4th quarter alone. Pacers should of kept TJ in the game. He was a pest all game and hitting some clutch buckets. But at the end the knicks wanted these games more at the end
Let me say it again. Brunson has been doing the same things every single game since he joined the Knicks. Every single game! It's only " new " to the Media because they haven't been watching ! As usual, the Media especially the " Pretty Girls of ESPN '" wouldn't know " what time it is " if a clock fell on their heads! Men did not ask our sports to be taken over by pretty women who knew nothing about the sport before getting the Job! Facts!
Sometimes I forget the nba is an entertainment league, they want Boston vs New York
PEOPLE CALLING IT A MOVING SCREEN SERIOUSLY NEED THEIR EYES CHECKED 🤡🤡🤡
Legs, no one on the Pacers can guard Brunson one on one, they need to double him so he can give up the ball. Knicks in 6.
