Jalen Brunson's last four games:
Game 6: 41 pts
Game 5: 40 pts
Game 4: 47 pts
Game 3: 39 pts
Putting the city of New York on his back 🔥
Yeah, but is that SUSTAINABLE as they get deeper into the postseason? I don't think so. Other guys gonna have to step up. Pacers have a DEEP bench. They don't have to rely on 1 guy to get them buckets.
@@RemmyRiffs he just dropped 40 again
Shannon: Its really hard to pick against Jalen Brunson because he's been sensational
Kendrick: Then don't do it
Shannon: Well I'm bout to
😂😂
As a raptors fan it’s weird hearing Siakam going against OG after watching them play together for years 🤣
not even a raptors fun but this is dope asf
Tune in tonight bro and make sure you cheer for the right team 🤝🏻
Big Perk "Tobias Harris came back with a bag full of napkins and straws" 😂
wasnt one lie told either
I'm not a 76ers fan, meaning I don't see much of their games, but man, I always thought since he got to Philly, he's been doing nothing but stealing money out of that organization
lmao.. That was Epic!
Perk finally making sense
Perk always makes sense....Thankfully JJ isnt in this segment because the wytegaiz would be glazing him in the comments
@@HamAndCheeze exactly
“Well don’t do it” 😂😂Perk hell lmao
This series hopefully brings the energy of those 90s Knicks Pacers series
Oh it defintely will
Yup
I’m not underestimating the pacers but the Knicks should win in 6
I got them in 5 but depending on Hali health I can see 6
Hicks vs. Knicks. I hope it’s just like old times
Perk been on point lately. I agree, Knicks in 6.
How can they omit the number 1 element in this series??? In the game of basketball, what do you need in order to initiate a fast break? REBOUNDS!! How can these folks ignore that when previewing this series?
This is ESPN they’re not gonna dive into game strategy lol
Or steals
If u watch pacers,u no they run breaks on made field goals
Perkins said the same thing about the bucks winning even w/o their star player Pacers in 6
Pacers in 6 with love baby 🤟💯🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Pacers in 6 💙💛💙💛
Haha is Perk wearing the exact same outfit from yesterday’s NBA Countdown? 😂😂😂
I feel more comfortable with Perks knowledge than the other 2.
As a Celtics fan, the only Eastern conference team that has made me nervous this season is Indy. They're young, fast and force teams to push their tempo beyond what theyre used to which leads to mistakes. I can see them being a Cinderella team in the ECF.
Also, of all the remaining teams, Indy vs OKC would be the most exciting finals matchup. It'll never happen, but it would be fun.
KNICKS IN 6ix
It'll really come down to if Indiana's offense is greater than the Knicks defense or the other way around. The Knicks have no chance if Indy gets to run the way they want, because they just don't have the firepower to match them. If the Knicks defense slows Indy down and the Knicks beat them in the margins, Knicks run away with this series. It'll be interesting.
Nah I got the Knicks in 6
Oh wow, Perk said that exact same thing as soon as I commented😭
Pacers in 6
did we all watch the same Pacers struggle vs the Bucks with no Giannis and half of Dame??
You can't play with pace if the opposing teams grabs offensive rebounds lol Knicks destroy Pacers
@@NoName-cn3cpyou can’t crash the boards as hard when a team plays fast. You gotta get back on defense
pacers have played to their competition all year, nothing new
Was an inexperienced playoff team supposed to sweep Milwaukee? I'm confused. Not to mention, Milwaukee still has 2 former All-stars in Middleton and Lopez.
@@byt865 this is the truth
Perk and Stephen A: Talking about basketball
Shannon: "WHEN YOU PLAING PATRICK MAHOMES..."
It’s called an analogy
They act like the knick was in the east finals last year ..it's nothing to convince if you haven't been good in 20 years.
Pacers in 6. Bench beats NYK.
I really do think its either a 4 (maybe 5 on a luck thing) or 7 game series. Either one team is going to dominate or this will be a close matchup and require a seventh game. I don't feel this is going to be an in between. I have been proven wrong though.
It comes down to 1 thing....who controls the past. Who does that wins. Pacers struggle in half court & NY can't run/score like Pacers. Control pace for 4 games wins.
Perk making sense continuously after getting punched by chuck and shaq
Unc doesn't understand, its slowly heading to 90's style of BBall, and the Pacers "picking up the pace" isn't going to work when there is a strong NYK Body on them forcing a change
Build up the opponent to make the win seem bigger
The way they title these videos lol
Also the fact that SAS thinks anybody in the Knicks locker room, cares anything about what he has to say, is even more hilarious. 🤣 🤣
SAS living vicariously through Tom Thibodeau on ESPN 😂
Like the Knicks players are saying “turn on ESPN we need some SAS motivation before we step on the court”. Lol
This guy is top shelf entertainment 🤣🤣🤣😂😂
Well “Pace” is in the Pacers name I got Knicks too but they can’t get too comfortable, don’t sleep 😭
Big Perk "maybe LeBron should retire and be the head coach" 😂
Big Body Brunson… nuff said
The thing about it Philly on has a duo
The pacers got multiple players, obi toppin definitely gone be a problem off the bench against his old team, McConnell gone continue to be Steve Nash, Myles gone shine this series defensively.... Pacers in 6
It’s going to be an aswome series, I can see it going to 7 games…
Let’s be real. Both of these teams got a break in the first round. The Knicks went 6 games against the 76ers, with Joel hampered. And the Pacers didn’t have to see Giannis.
Crazy as hell how many people are sleeping on the Pacers. Most PPG and 2nd fastest pace definitely counts for something. Gonna be a tighter series than what most think it's gonna be.
Haliburtun to score 50 tonight pacers win 114-111 Brunson to get 31 but turns the ball over late
Lol no way Brunson 50 NYK win!
The only thing comes to me when miller time went crazy on them
Brunson is definitely like that but the pacers have a deeper roster. Not having Bogdonavic and Randle are gonna hurt them in this series. Couldn’t say the same for the last series because outside of maxey and Embid they didn’t have much fire power especially in the 4th quarter.
Philly has better one on one players especially in a half court setting.
Shannon: Its really hard to pick against Jalen Brunson because he's been sensational
Kendrick: Then don't do it
Shannon: Well I'm bout to
😭😭👏🏿 love it
Stephen A is right use the bench in keep these guys fresh ...
Pacers in 6.
I'm a Warriors fan but I'ma go for Mr. Branson ha
Shannon: ITS REALLY hard to pick against Jalen Brunson because he been sensational...
Kendrick then don't do it.
Shannon: Well I'm about to!😂
Cheer up Kendrick
Why they don't have their own show A
we gonna see two raptors go at it I cant wait. OG vs. Pascal
Perk saying no one is giving the Knicks respect when two out of the 3 picked the Knicks 😂
Because still it’s only sneak jabs being taken
i hope the knicks make it to the finals. go up 3-1 and lose it.... the reaction from SAS would be legendary
Knicks are a really good team, they beat us last round. But let’s not over hype the Knicks as some defensive juggernaut. They gotta keep up with the Pacers and keep it close and Brunson has the ability to end it in the Knicks favor.
Hell back yard
A hit that hot sauce bet he can't have none.
I have no horse in this race, but I must mention the blantant bias shown throughout the season for the Knicks. Disgusting
Stephen A. is a BUZZ KILL💯
We could fight for 1 million every Friday.
It's Miller time❗️🙏❤️😁
That's grag money
SKIUUUUUPPPPP!!!!
ONE MAN CAN'T GET IT DONE NO MORE. THAT SEASON IS OVER. If new york CAN'T OUT SMART U it's over. The PACERS ARE MUCH DEEPER AND THAT MATTERS . I'm with unc 💯
Stephen A is getting ready for his fake "told you so". Of course you never feel confident in a series with the Knicks but they should win.
Love when we hear the other opinions when chatty patty S.A. ….let’s them ..😅😅😅😅😅
So nobody else caught what happened in the beginning of the video?? 😭😭💀
Knicks in six... however if you pick the Pacers.. have them win the final game on their homecourt ..Pacers aren't closing out the Knicks in a game 5 or 7.
We stole that game last night!! We really shouldn’t have won that but we always take a win!! No matter how ugly the game 1-0 baby
Pacers in 6
Pircken i cee u picking on that old man what that's why we need to have bet fights so we can settle these type of things.
The New York Knicks in 4 games.
🥷🏾🥷🏾🥷🏾🥷🏾🥷🏾We need to talk to Embiid for real for real
It's the Knicks in 6
Pacers in 5
Who is perks sound crew? How he have the same mic he using since he started showing up on first take? Perk needs an upgrade, he keeps breathing into his mic, grunting and sighing after only adjusting in his seat. This has been a problem every time he's on...
I'm not the only one that is bothered by it am I? If I am then oh well I guess
Have a baby see yo self stay in line.
I still got my Knicks winning this series. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🤞🏼
Knicks in 6
Defense > Offense
I hope the pacers win just to see Stephen a unhappy
Do the Knicks play like Thibs is running them to the ground or do they look like they’re conditioned like m’fking killers? 🤦♂️ FOH SAS
Literally no one calls him big body Brunson
LET UNC COOK
I got the Pacers winning in 6 games. It could go either way. If the Pacers want to win Haliburton has to play a little better than he in the first round
Knicks are gonna mop the floor with the pacers
Knicks will need more than seven players to advance, Pacers in seven sounds more realistic.
LETS GOOOO PACERS TYRESE HALIBRUTON 🔥🔥🔥🔥PACERS IN 6 BOOOM BABY
He should be nervous cause thibs bouta run them nova boys into the ground especially bruson
Another casual. It's called elite conditioning, nba players are soft.
If they’re used too playing so many minutes that means they have an advantage lil bro they have top notch conditioning, Knicks in 6/5
@@DWade-hh1tp he never played basketball in his life.
@@Klla420 Exactly, you could tell who never played ball or owned a gym membership by certain comments
@@DWade-hh1tp alot of armchair athletes these days. Lol.
Pacers in 6 or 7
Pacers in 6 or knicks in 7
Perk has CTE
Don’t sleep on the Pacers! Pacers in 6
I think the Knicks are going to win this series
Pacers won the season series and will win this series too. Let's be real here. New York doesn't have bench.
The Knicks weren’t healthy in either game they won.
The suns swept the T-wolves in the regular season, how’d that go for them? playoffs are a different animal. Experience plays a part.
OG didn't play in those games
Pacers beat taj gibson in the regular season buddy. They have to deal with og and Robinson now
I got the Pacers in 6 games
Kendrick change up his story every round, first PACERS WON'T BEAT MILWAUKEE NOW KNICKS!😂
Knicks in 5 bro
R im i wrong about a lot
Sure knicks look good but nobody remembers they vsed a 1 leg embiid? Now it’s a fully healthy team they gotta play
not fully healthy, Bennedict Mathurin is out for the year, he missed like the last month or so
Pacers need to Amp up the Pace, and put the Knicks to bed.
Knicks in four because we madd now🤬hold your head Mitchell Robinson 🫡
Knicks in 5, Pacers play no defense!
Sharpe just gonna keep on picking against the knicks cuz he was wrong about brunson
Knicks in 4 I see it no other way. FO'REAL....
