Haliburton has now been to more ECF than embiid.
As the first option also
TJ McConnell who played with Embiid now has a ECF appearance before Embiid 😭
Embiid holding up his MVP trophy like, "🥲🏆"
And got carried most of the playoffs lol
@@rileymcphee9429he knows he's a fraud with that stolen MVP trophy
from a 35 win team to the ECF in one year. Gotta give the pacers credit
not too much though they’ve only beat star injured teams
Still not an easy feat
I've got a younger friend at work that thinks the Pacers organization is trash and I had to explain to him that we've actually been a pretty decent franchise overall. We've had our high moments during Peak eras like taking Jordan's balls to Game 7 in 98, the team that made it to the finals in 2000, the team we were bringing to the floor in 2004 before the brawl in Detroit happened, taking Miami to the Limit a couple of years in a row in the mid-2010s. We have never bottomed out completely or tanked. Are bottoming out was getting the the 9th or 10th pick in the draft or some shit.
And now we are set up for the next 5 years to make a run especially if we can add a piece
you do not, they beat a team that had neither of their 2 best players who completly carried the team, and then then beat a knicks team with 3 players out and 4 others on pain meds to just play, they are a meteorke team who isnt even gonna win a single game against the celtics
@@UpNextSiahtheres an excuse for everything. let them have their celebrations.
Indiana really got the best case scenario. All of the pieces lined up perfectly for them to get this far.
Until Boston
@@Kirby_ethan02 Imagine tatum gets hurt😆
@@Ramparkenny God forbid
@@tomassantos4508i think we’d still win wit kp coming back wit brown & white, wld go 6-7 tho prolly
@@Ramparkennybro if he does 😂😂 send the pacers to the western conference, don’t want to see them in the east again 😂
Being born and raised in Indianapolis and not winning a playoff series since I was 13 and now being in the ECF is so crazy. The Nap is up rn !!!!
I stg
We locked in
Shout out Nap town coming from kokomo indiana
317!!!
Y’all gonna get gentleman swept by the Celtics enjoy it while you can
The Pacers bench depth is incredibly underrated
And their 6th man is out rn
@@skinnytimmy1fr
And their best scorer is out (Mathurin)
TJ McConnell low key should've been in conversation for 6MOY, the way he played the second half of the season.
He was, he was third in voting lol
WAIT HALI MADE IT TO THE ECF BEFORE EMBIID 😭😭😭
raptors vs 76ers? or im tweaking
@@smgcap tweakin
And here comes the hate to embiid…
@@mikeysbusy bc he’s a bum in the playoffs…
@@smgcap 2nd round 2019
As a Pacers fan, I’ve prayed for these days. 😭😭
The most undeserved conference finals I've ever seen lmfao. The knicks and the bucks missing all of their crucial players
@@michaelshryock226ok? Next time the Pacers should just forfeit right? You play the teams in front of you. Nearly every playoffs there’s injuries that create a easier series. It’s just ball
@@HeyImGeorgethey are gonna disappoint next year though, they did what they had to but I don’t think they are on par with the teams left in the playoffs. Their expectations next year are going to be ecf again but who knows with injuries anything’s possible like this year
@@michaelshryock226so are they just posed to lose?
It's scripted. Your prayers were worthless
Those who were hating the Knicks are happy they are out but will never give them credit how hard they played all season.
Usually how it works when people hate teams
ive never met a knicks hater in my life
The refs gifted them the entire series against the sixers and tried their hardest to help the knicks against the pacers, they cried and complained their way to a second round exit, they don't deserve any credit for what they did.
@@prestonspratt1 well now you have
All teams worked hard all season what the hell are you talking about? Knicks don't get extra brownie points for playing hard 😂😂😂
As a raptors fan, I am so happy for siakam.
NMSU alumnus, also happy for Siakam.
@@noconsentI did not know that that's dope
Raptors fans are with you indianna. Get Pascal another one for us.
🫡🫡
So happy for Siakam
Bro us in Indiana eating real good😂
I been refreshing since the game ended to see if Kenny posted let’s gooooo
🤖👎
LeBron type of lie
Klay Thompson went scoreless in an elimination game vs the kings

Tobias Hariss went scoreless in an elimination game vs the Knicks
Klay has 4 rings one bad game past his prime doesn’t define his legacy L comment

cool
I had to time my work break wit ya vid drop 🤣🤷🏽♂️
Dedication
The Pacers were 4-1 vs the Bucks and Giannis in the regular season and they were 3-2 vs the Knicks. The Pacers only won 3 games less than the Knicks. The Pacers were 2-3 vs Boston, but they they haven't made the playoffs for 2 years. I'm just happy they landed in the Eastern Conference finals. I already provided evidence that this wasn't as big a fluke as people claim based on the regular season head-to-head. Brunson broke his hand down by 22...in game 7. That sh*t was over.
Very underrated comment. Plus they have a great coach. Incredible team.
lol it was a fluke
@@ericgarcia3231 cope
@@ericgarcia3231you’re crashing out hard in this comment section lmao
Why we using regular season scores as evidence for your claim? By your logic the suns should have beat minnosota. The playoffs and the regular season is two different games to the point where they hardly correlate
People are forgetting that they made it to the Final in the In-Season Tournament. They've been showing up
IST means nothing, ask the Lakers
Not sure if you read the ESPN article on sleep deprivation among NBA athletes Kenny, but it laid out how there actually is a science to freak accidents being much more common with fatigue and sleep deprivation. People understand degenerative injuries from overwork or too little rest, but that article referred to a study of athletes in the offseason and in-season about how they got so sleep deprived during trips that their testosterone levels fell to the level of old men, and that low testosterone and sleep deprivation made athletes much worse at proprioception and spatial awareness of all the various parts of their body as well as reflexes, so it was much more common for things to happen like them landing after a jump differently than their muscle memory normally would so the force of it damages their knee more than it does every other time, or them not getting their body parts out of the way when falling down the way they reflexively would, or the muscle memory of how exactly they'd roll when falling to not hit their shoulder/tailbone or how they'd be able to get their face out of the way of someone's elbow when at the rim being a bit off, or them planting their leg in a slightly off way when pushing off for a non-contact tendon injury, etc
So it's not a coincidence that freak accidents seem more common later in the season or when players are more overworked. Thought you'd find this interesting because it's a pretty big aspect of NBA basketball and you know ball
At the start of the season I never would have guessed the Pacers would end up here
I’m a Pacers fan and I was swearing we were gonna be a first round exit until I found out we matched up with the Bucks. Then I expected them to lose in 6 here 😭 just a matter of having the best case scenario and actually hooping when it matters most
@@silversoulkenyeah it’s cool and all but you guys now have expectations and I’m not sure they will be able to replicate this years success but who knows? gonna have some new expectations
Giannis injured entire series, Dame out part of series. Randle out entire series. Annunoby out most important games of series.
Pacers have had a cake run thus far. To top it off... Porizingis is already out first two next series.
I do still give credit to Pacers. Mathurin is also hurt and Turner, Siakam, Halliburton are looking great
@@silversoulken Knicks fan here idc what the other fans are saying about the Pacers you play with what you got and who's in front of you. Great 7 game series and hope yall upset the Cs
@@starjbarrett6329finally somebody reasonable
As a Pacers fan I’m just happy to be here. This is close to the best case scenario for this season already. But the arrow is still pointing up! 2 of our 3 highest upside players didn’t even play in these playoffs. Still a really young team.
I’m so proud of my guys. Yes the Pacers benefited from injuries but you can only play who is in front of you. A team full of 23 year olds in their real first playoff runs took care of business and earned this. Even if they lose to Boston this was a hell of a run in year 2 of the rebuild
🗑️🗑️🗑️🗑️🗑️🗑️
@@lxnelymsft🤡🤡
Indiana Pacers should be given the noble peace prize for having prevented us from seeing Stephen A. Smith happy. That is an act of sainthood right there !
They aren't making the conf finals after this for the next 5 years😂
@itshurtt395 looks like a hate comment from a knicks fan🤣
My sixers couldn’t make it to the conference finals before the pacers tried 3 different teams
Sixers need to blow it up. Embiid is never going to be healthy
They scored every basket they took , insane efficiency
Interesting perspective, got me thinking!
thanks for sharing, you inspired me to try something new
Pacers are having an incredible run! They have so many games where they just couldn't miss. 70% from the field is ridiculous! Their defense has stepped up a ton from the regular season as well. I can't wait to see if they can keep it up against the Celtics defense.
The coaching and pace were better for the Pacers. Knicks fan don’t give no acknowledgement of the discrepancies in foul calls when they win but cry about injuries when they lose. Keep the same freaking energy
Celtics really sleep walking to the finals
Nesmith trying to guard Tatum or Brown is a massive massive advantage for Boston
Lol watch the Pacers shit all over them
Indiana in 7....
Come back to this comment when I'm right.
@@mrincredibleisthagoat lol
@@mrincredibleisthagoat hey it’s possible. I’m all for some competitive basketball
Knowing the Pacers luck Jayson Tatum and Jrue Holiday are going to go down for the series in game 1
😂😂😂 bro fr. My Knicks just got to many injuries. But oh well hopefully we comeback healthier next year
Frfr 💯 That's the only way they would even make it out😂😂😂
soon as i saw ts for mitch and og i was ready to cry then fuckin hart man
@@noahreyes5241Check your coaches resume of player injuries then come back
Who would have thought that a coach who plays his players 48 minutes a night would result in players getting hurt!
Pacers played extremely well in the last 5 games
Don’t forget game 1 which was stolen from them
Aka, when OG got hurt. Indiana outplayed the Knicks that were on the court but cant forget they had a lot of help via injuries and refs (Halliburton traveling on every 3, no fouls for Brunson)
😂😂😂😂
@@SteveNY823 they could’ve literally called off every single Halliburton 3 and you still would’ve lost
@@SteveNY823you sound very salty right now
Gotta feel bad for the knicks they were so fun to watch this season. Tough:(. Riddled with injury the entire year
I think im addition to talks about mins i think we should talk about how the players played in those mins. Trying to draw fouls constantly through contact or even flopping is going to result in injury. Idk if that is on Thibs or the players though. Personally not a big fan of how the knicks play but it sucks this was how the season had to end.
Shoutout to them man. No one thought they were going into New York and winning that game, especially there way they did
When you got Brunson playing with a broken hand for some of the game and having to sit out the rest you know it's written in the stars lmao
i genuinely would fucking hope they did. a team that injured and they still made it a game in the 2nd half for a lil bit.
@@Luis-kv8zcI mean they were down 17 when Brunson broke his hand
@@ihonestlydontevenknow4359not once did I watch that 2nd half and think the Knicks had a chance lol. Stop downplaying how the pacers played
Anyone here waiting on the nuggets video?
Literally me
Pacers did it fr😮 wild turn around
Great pickup with siakam
Their offense didnt go down because of the siakam trade lol it went down because of haliburtons bad hamstring injury that happened around then, haliburton just recently started being able to shoot well again. With siakam and haliburton healthy they still have by far the best offense
knicks fan here, it’s very bitter to lose to injuries and the nba playoff record best fg% and i don’t think it was all thibs at all - hopefully ‘25 is better but this one might be the one that got away because our rotation was decimated
Definitely not on your coach. Knicks easily move on if just OG and Hart avoid these injuries. Hated playing against y’all but I really like that NY team was rooting for them hard (Kings fan here). I know injuries are always a key part of the playoffs but man Indy couldn’t be MORE lucky
y’all win it all if the injury bug doesn’t hit.
you actually lost to the pacers but no worries
Brunson is a baller but if he’s your number 1 the Knicks aren’t gonna ever make it out the east
Pacers are like the 2021 hawks when they made it to ECF
Where that twolves vid Kenny we need it!
Thibbs really be killing his players😭😭😭😭😭😭
Kenny we love yohh
Pacers fan, I understand the injuries in both series and I hate that for those teams but thats just apart of basketball. Not going to let it take away from the first ECF trip of hopefully many more for this team, Boston is extremely tough so Im not expecting anything out of this series, but Im extremely excited for the future of this team. Great series Knicks fans🤝🏻
You should let it take away from it it’s not legitimate
Congratulation, Pcers. They have done well for themselves. I congratulate the Knickerbockers, as well, and hope Thibodaux will commit to can developing young players to help them in the playoffs next year.
As a 25 year old Knicks fan, I'm not upset. A bit disappointed considering how well we looked all regular season, especially after we acquired OG but more than anything i'm glad that I enjoyed this season and can actually go into next season with some hope for the future.
Bro already got a video out🔥
The Knicks were a Cinderella story, and it was a lot of fun to watch thrm battle to get as far qs they did this season as a Ny'ker
Pavers are missing mathurin
mathurin is nice… HE AIN’T AN ENTIRE TEAM’S STARTING LINEUP tho
@@ihonestlydontevenknow4359facts. would’ve loved seeing him in a playoff atmosphere, Steps up in big games
My dawg Kenny
The Indiana Pacers gotta give a statue to the opposing teams’ medical staffs😭
so it our fault that your teams couldn't stay healthy
@adrianhooks3440 no its not but atleast know that your never making the conf finals for atleast the next 5 years. This type of injury crisis ain't happening again
@@itshurtt395 never say never.
Game 2 in the Garden Haliburton scored 34pts
I just realized there was no vid about the Celtics beating the cavs
i did not expect the pacers to get here if healthy i woulda had the knicks but hey the pacers that is a great achievement
98% would say that because 85% don’t watch pacers ball, and the other 13% just follow the majority,
I’m so nervous rn, time for the real series Wolves in 7 baby!!! 🐺🐺🐺
Thibs has a tendency to just play his 6-7 people like crazy. I think that’s a big factor in the injuries. If he played 2k was fatigue/injuries off he would be elite
Brother when are we getting another episode of the podcast
Kenny doing tricks on the Knicks
Waiting for timberwolves nuggets
GO TIMBERWOLVES
Knew this vid was coming
I'm pretty sure most people had the bucks with the lowest odds because of giannis being injured and Doc Rivers' record
If Indiana doesn’t make more moves this is gonna be a 2021 hawks situation
Not true. The Pacers are young and have guys that haven’t met their ceiling, unlike the hawks. Mathurin has been out. Jarace Walker is a rookie projected to be big time. A lot of our rotational guys are 23-24 or younger.
HAHAHAAHA you clearly don't know ball.
Pacers have a better 1 2 players in hali and siakam and a super deep team thats young. Mathurin out for end of season and playoffs and walker waiting in the wings.
Team is in a drastically better position than the flukey hawks.
@@RealFlankenBerry this guy gets it
@@RealFlankenBerry I know ball better than you and ur mama
@@Jose-st3fq don't quit your day job. Best bench in the league. Mathurin hasn't played since shoulder injury and walker hasn't even gotten to show us who he is.
I understand that comparing to ATL 21 is a lazy casual take. Hence why you said it but for those that watch and understand ball its just ignorance.
Good game
I am so proud of the Pacers 💙💛 Let's get Boston now 😤
Some teams that've made it to the CF from 2017 to 2024: (aka before Embiid)
Pacers, Hawks, Blazers, Clippers
Idc if we got lucky and ECF is and ECF
Lets go Pacers 😭😭😭
The fact that you had to state all of that at the beginning of your comment she'll let you know they 🗑️🗑️🗑️🗑️🗑️
The fact that you had to even say it like that should let you know that they are buns and will be out next round😂😂😂😂
At least u know its luck and just appreciative of making it so far instead of talking shit I respect it
@@barkleysmall2363 I know. I’m happy we are here, but I hope Pacers GM doesn’t take this as an excuse to not do anything in the post season. There is room for LOTS of improvement.
Now it's the Celtic's time to fight against the Pacers' Plot Armor
I hate the Knicks but you guys gave us a wonderful series. Good trash talkers too. Now you can all cheer us on and see if we can mess up Boston a bit!
LFG PACERSSSSS!! unbelievable showing today
Pacers got so lucky this year
Pacers impressed me frl ngl
Played a team who had no one left playing a disabled team... Let's see how well they play Boston or if they make it to the finals no doubt denver or Minnesota gonna sweep them
By that comment I'm guessing someone's hat matching their jacket would impresse u as well huh😂😂
look you can't assume the Knicks would of won if they wasn't injured. they injuries just happen at the wrong time. and they only can play the team in front of them.
Injuries are very real man, but you can’t fault them. They can only play the teams in front of them and they have been relatively healthy. Congratulations Pacers ✌️
My boy hali is niiiiiice cmonnn
So when people were saying kings won the trade… what we saying now?
Toppin rj and quickly would have sure been great this series.
Not worried about the knicks they can heal while they sipping margaritas in cancun
Lets go 317!!!
Double upload please
Go Pacers!!!!!! Keep doubting us!!!!😂😂😂
Pacers fans knew we were going to be good and really thought we could make a run after getting Pascal siakam so the rest of the media simply missed it.
I didn't expect to make the Conference Finals but I put our ceiling there at the beginning of the season
Celtics vs Pacers is a weird series where I don't think we can predict what will happen. Celtics are scary, but the Cavs and Heat both took a game. Meanwhile the Pacers are one of the most unpredictable teams in basketball, and you can give some credit to injury luck, but it wasn't just that that got the Pacers here. Anything could happen in this series and I'm here for it.
FINALLY! LET’S GO PACERS!
Talked more about the Knicks lol VERY surprising
@kennyforreal same kind be said for Derrick Rose “freak” injury. The longer you play the more likely your are to get injured.
so you think the Knicks would of done better.
Never seen a team lose as many guys as the knicks did in the last couple of weeks. Unfortunate that now we get to see the celtics blitz the pacers and prolly win in 5 if i was guessing
6 I think the Celticss blow game 2 as per usual, and the Indy crowd guarantees at least one home win for them.
WE DID IT
Wolves and Pacers finals would be crazy
Just imagine an Indiana Minnesota final
Gotta admit, I was not expecting them to make the conference Finals.
LETS GO FINALLY my pacers get a video!!!!
Celtics vs Mavs pls
My dream final: Pacers vs Timberwolves. I need it.
LETS GOOOO PACERS
I feel so badly for Knicks fans.
Just to get swept
Availablity is a quality, and its one that the Knicks were caught lacking in.
people are injured, like wtf kinda comment is this? they didnt choose to be hurt dummy.
HAHAHAHA KNICKS SAID GIVE US BOSTON
I like haliburton, i thought he was great for the kings although we know that fox is already there and is the main guy but its good to see that haliburton is florishing as the pacers main guy in a trade where both teams won
PASCAL SIAKHIMMMM🔥🔥🔥🔥
knicks fans dont get to cry they would be a 1st round exit with embiid healthy
they would've also been a 2nd round exit with milwaukee healthy
Are u sure
Because last time I checked both of them had way less injuries then what the Knicks had to deal with like you sound goofy 😂😂😂😂
They also tried to take embiid out, oh boy hit his knee
@@lxnelymsftMilwaukee had an injured Giannis and eventually an injured Dame. 76ers an injured Embiid. Knicks might have had more injuries but the 76ers and Bucks had by far more impactful injuries.
@@lxnelymsft someone sounds mad my lxnely enjoy cancun buddy
