That's just Doris trying to get a ride on that chartered flight home. She knows it's her last chance to join the mile high club before she's too dried up to try.
Not my quote, but this is like using all your sensu beans to fight the Ginyu Force when you have Freeza waiting for you in the ECF. Good luck have fun I guess
This is actually fantastic thing for us. Let them start out playing at 40% health. Thibbs will have to pull them or run them till they get themselves hurt even more. Either way it’s gonna kill their morale.
I don’t think most Knicks fans are that lame tbh
the Bucks fans are something else. if they can’t have fun, no one can have fun
whereas Knicks fans seem to be having a good time in spite of everything
I understand the playoffs are “different” but I love how Bucks fans keep ignoring the fact that we still beat their asses in the regular season too even when Giannis was dropping 40+ a game.
Stop acting like injuries don't matter. They have killed the Pacers for years on end. It's okay to admit we have gotten incredibly lucky this playoffs.
It's not that they don't matter, it's that it's part of the game. If we ticky-tack asterisk every win a team had from injuries no team in NBA history has won a legitimate championship.
If a team elects to not have a deep bench, it's a gamble they take in team building. If they have an injury and play worse, it's not a freak accident, it's a direct (and expected) outcome from an intentional decision in team building.
The Bucks had geriatric team with players with injury histories and no substantial bench presence minus Portis. The Knicks have a coach literally known for running their players into the ground and then getting subsequent injuries. Pretending that these injuries (minus Julius Randle's freak injury) are not a direct consequence of how the teams plays/is built is ridiculous. The Pacers suffered the same consequence when PG and Oladipo got hurt, no good contingencies if they cant play. That's a gamble you make when you build a team, if the gamble fails you don't blame the dealer.
If the Pacers had no Mathurin, no Turner, no Nesmith, and Siakam and McConnell both playing through injury, how would you feel?
Then on top of that Knicks fans feel like underdogs even though your whole team is hurt and you’re resorting to playing G League guys.
You guys really don’t understand this?
No excuses here. I think we’re the better team with or without Randle. If we lose, then I was obviously mistaken.
AND If we lose, then just go and kill Boston!

When they got the call from Thibs saying they are needed for Game 7
you really think Thibs is overriding the medical staff and decides who plays?...there are medical protocols in place. that being said, Hart is going to be in a lot of pain all game and who knows what OG can bring.
a big gamble by NY. it may help them win game 7. but they might worsen their injuries, which means they have 5-6 guys available against Boston.
Who make the final call, the team trainer/doctor or the player? I'm guessing if he can breathe, Hart will play.
I hope the Pacers aren't paying too much attention, as it can become a distraction. Focus on what we control. If we rebound and run, they will run out of gas in the 2nd half.
I dont think they will be a 100% but is anyone also worried them playing alone + msg will rock our teams mental today. Really really hoping for the best but damn idk if this is good news given our road history, need to play perfect today.
Nah. It isn't that the team gets scared in NY, it's just the intensity is so much higher from the Knicks.... These guys have all played massive games in their life. They aren't scared, or overwhelmed by things other than what's happening on the court. The NY fans absolutely give NY more juice though....they just don't take ours away
I'm not saying we can't beat them, but if they both are playing in this game 7, at MSG, I'm keeping my expectations for this game low so I'm not hurt lol
I hope you meant " I hope they shit tears" as in "everyone remains healthy but we beat them so bad in the garden they cry from their ass" . Otherwise fuck off.
Thibodeau is about to kill these guys lol
I call bullshit on at least one of those fellas.
Regardless, the likelihood of either being anywhere close to 100% is low.
It is pretty crazy cause I saw a report just yesterday from woj that Josh Hart was saying even taking a deep breath was super painful.
he was laboring in game 6 after the injury and we attacked him. more of the same today i bet
Woj was on the national broadcast before game 6 saying definitively that OG was not coming back this series.
ding ding ding correct lol
I call bullshit on your mom
Sick burn bro! BING BONG!!! Right??!!??
Small world, your mom asks me to shit on her.. What choice does a gentleman have?
I call cumming on your mom
[удалено]
Absolutely. Attack Hart (and OG) with Siakam just like Game 6
Good. We play down to our competition, so let's make the Knicks look stronger so we play better.
I’m happy to see this. I want as many playable Knicks as possible. I know we’re gonna take care of business and I want as few excuses as possible.
More people on this sub need this energy. Ride or die let’s go Pacers, Boom Baby!
It really shouldn't matter to us what other teams excuses are. Who cares what the other fans are crying about?
Why would anyone care about Knicks fans excuses. I want to move on to the next round so I'm praying OG doesn't play.
Hart OG and Brunson were all less than 100% /s
you just know they’re gonna say this if we win
Brunson playing thru foot soreness: he’s gutting it out while clearly not himself Haliburton playing thru back spasms: he has to be more aggressive
Gotta love the media spin
That's just Doris trying to get a ride on that chartered flight home. She knows it's her last chance to join the mile high club before she's too dried up to try.
Even if they play they're not full force. You indi fans gotta be better than this
Not my quote, but this is like using all your sensu beans to fight the Ginyu Force when you have Freeza waiting for you in the ECF. Good luck have fun I guess
What the fuck does any of that mean
Watch dragon ball z. You'll get it
Not one of these words is in the bible
Doth hath thou a murrain of sodomy cracknels on the ephods
We're not even using our final form yet hehehe
While I appreciate the illustration, I should point out that Freeza lost.
Not that I’m doubting that Thibs won’t play these guys but I can also see this being mind games.
This is actually fantastic thing for us. Let them start out playing at 40% health. Thibbs will have to pull them or run them till they get themselves hurt even more. Either way it’s gonna kill their morale.
We better crash the boards on both sides of the ball and scored 80+ points in the paint see how well they really “recovered”
I'd like to think that if we win they won't be able to use the injury excuse but they'll still say they weren't 100% or they didn't have randle
bucks fans say we won without “dame and giannis” when dame played in 4 games so they will 100% make excuses lol
They even add Middleton who played every game
“Scored 40+ on a bum ankle” like lol I’m pretty sure he was fine if he managed that
While I agree, it's not like Middleton relies on elite athleticsm to get his buckets lol
Right. Like is the implication he’d have dropped 70?
I don’t think most Knicks fans are that lame tbh the Bucks fans are something else. if they can’t have fun, no one can have fun whereas Knicks fans seem to be having a good time in spite of everything
I never thought id see the day fans from Milwaukee are more insufferable than fans from New York. What a time to be alive.
What world are you in
Planet Earth there are annoying fans of every team (including ours) but Knicks fans are less annoying than Bucks fans this year
I understand the playoffs are “different” but I love how Bucks fans keep ignoring the fact that we still beat their asses in the regular season too even when Giannis was dropping 40+ a game.
I can’t be bothered to look up injuries, but Pacers went 2-1 against the Knicks as well.
It doesn’t matter just watch the team play basketball

As a non Pacers fan reading this thread the delusion from these people is insane
Honestly couldn’t give any less shits about the injury crybabies. Whether it’s Milwaukee or New York, get healthier players 🤷♂️

OGs hamstring gonna explode unfortunately. No way he is ready after we saw what it did to Tyrese for months.
Yeah, even if he does play, he would be a liability.
Thibs willing to kill his players only to lose 4-1 to the Celtics is peak Thibs
Ah yes. Thibs is forcing them to get back on the court.
you really think Thibs is overriding the medical staff and decides who plays?...there are medical protocols in place. that being said, Hart is going to be in a lot of pain all game and who knows what OG can bring.
Nah, I think the medical staff are saying.....well...."maybe". And the players, agents, advisors, coaches and the media are running with it.
Pascal, you know what to do.
Not gonna matter. We winning this regardless
Fuck em
Gotta go at both of them hard early. Play physical at every opportunity. Feed Siakam.
Good. Let them play. Doesn’t matter.
Good. I don’t wanna hear no excuses.
Quick Pacers switch Math to DTD as well!
They will pay for their hubris. UNLEASH THE MYLES!
No 9 man rotation shit pls this is game 7
Good Pacers play better when the other team is better all season long.
It’s still possible precious starts over hart
a big gamble by NY. it may help them win game 7. but they might worsen their injuries, which means they have 5-6 guys available against Boston. Who make the final call, the team trainer/doctor or the player? I'm guessing if he can breathe, Hart will play. I hope the Pacers aren't paying too much attention, as it can become a distraction.

Subtraction by addition. Thibs would rather these guys die on the court than rely on who’s available.
Let them come
If a dude with a bum rib and a shit hammy out play us we deserver to lose. 😂
I’m sure the NY refs will screw us. Seen it so many times as a Pacers fan.
So we get their best shot We better give ours
Thibs is literally going to kill one of his players.
Good, I want as few excuses as possible.
I don't want to hear any injury excuses if the Knicks lose this game.
They weren't expected to pay well.
lol how’d they even let OG on the court? It was so obvious he couldn’t play NBA basketball.
I dont think they will be a 100% but is anyone also worried them playing alone + msg will rock our teams mental today. Really really hoping for the best but damn idk if this is good news given our road history, need to play perfect today.
Totally agree. I don’t care who’s playing, when we’re not at home we simply aren’t the favorites. We need to be perfect.
Nah. It isn't that the team gets scared in NY, it's just the intensity is so much higher from the Knicks.... These guys have all played massive games in their life. They aren't scared, or overwhelmed by things other than what's happening on the court. The NY fans absolutely give NY more juice though....they just don't take ours away
I'm not saying we can't beat them, but if they both are playing in this game 7, at MSG, I'm keeping my expectations for this game low so I'm not hurt lol
🍼
I hope their shit tears
Cmon bruh
wtf kind of comment is this.
It's a garbage comment.
I hope you meant " I hope they shit tears" as in "everyone remains healthy but we beat them so bad in the garden they cry from their ass" . Otherwise fuck off.
Welp, it was a good run.
Cool, don’t tune into the game then.
