But pretty amazing performance. IF OG can't come back, obviously we're in trouble, but us so undemanned, it still took everything they had to get a win. Hell of a performance from the NYK.
You can't ice out your player who is nailing everything and only score 16 points in the 4th. Ridiculous. I understand Brunson is gutting it out but that ball never moved in the 4th. Minimal passing.
Siakem gifted them a few but hart and Brunson missed 2 big ones as well that could have made that last possession a lot more manageable. Oh well.
Even severely short handed the pacers can barely beat the Knicks in their own building.
We could have used a call or 2 but it was right there for the taking and we couldn't grab a defensive rebound. Gotta make the plays at the end of the game. With this thin lineup it's just so hard. Too many mismatches when we go small and it kills us on the boards, but when we go bigger there's not enough shooting and offense. Tough winning the war when your ammo is limited. We have OG this is over in 4 or 5.
and the officiating this game was gifted to the Pacers and they barely won. But, this was a blown opportunity for the Knicks. A battered lineup going deep to the bench and a shot to win on the road. They needed to seize it because there is no guarantee they can muster a similar effort on Sunday.

This is what I’m worried about. It took a crazy Dante game and the corpse of Burks playing well to keep it this close. If Brunson doesn’t bounce back and Deuce give us more, Sunday could be ugly.

Maybe OG can find a way?
I 'm worried also. And I wouldn't be surprised to not see OG the rest of this series at least.
It would be nice for Thibs to blast the refs in the press just once. I mean…every other coach does it to stick up for their stars. Just take the fine man. Play the fucking game.
Now what was the point of playing these guys now? Should’ve punted the game.
Anyone suggesting a team should punt a game in the playoffs should be banned from watching the playoffs for good. What an asinine take
There was no way they were winning this game with their injuries and the refs. They were better off charging up for Game 4 and be ready to close out at the Garden. A smarter coach would’ve seen this coming.

That being said tough game. Knicks made mistakes down the stretch. Couple bad calls but ultimately can’t lay blame there. And it took an absurd shot from nembhard. If that doesnt fall looking at 3-0 series. Such is life
No matter how this series unfolds. I am so damn proud of this team and how hard they’ve battled. That being said. Fuck the pacers. Fuck Haliburton fuck Reggie miller. Go get game 4 Sunday
Both teams looked gassed the last 5 minutes and with the short turnaround Sunday afternoon it will be very interesting to see who has better legs. The Knicks are the best conditioned team in the NBA so my money is on them.
Will be interesting to see how Haliburton is. He was not the same player after he turned his ankle. They are toast if he struggles.
Burks contribution was huge tonight. This could really give him confidence and we're gonna need him again Sunday
Turner badly outplayed IHart tonight. Stein needs to be better especially on the boards of we're gonna win Sunday

Imagine how aroused swizzle got when they hit that parking lot 3, knowing he could come here and post about what a wasted effort it was for the Knicks to have taken the game seriously.

Pacers emptied the clip to win that game, Knicks looked like they got gassed but at the same time Brunson missed shots he normally makes in crunch time..
Pacers will come out with some energy in game 4, but if the Knicks can withstand i could see Pacers running out of gas again
Yup.

Gonna be a hard team to keep off the glass with Deuce in there instead of OG. May need more precious minutes.

Deuce has to do more on offense.
The wide open 3 he missed down the stretch was massive

Carlisle's bullshit worked. Brunson got mugged all damn game.

Yeah Deuce has to be better than this if we're gonna win the series. A lot of things we needed went right for us tonight that's why this is painful.
Even severely short handed the pacers can barely beat the Knicks in their own building.
Really frustrating bro… would have been huge to go up 3-0 and rest Sunday. Ahhhhhhh

they are going to need every single other to play big with brunson hobbling and no og.

Love this team, but the slow starts are annoying AF.
4 starters are injured and it’s a make up game for the refs and the Pacers. no shot we win this game lol
You also said no shot they were beating the Sixers
Thanks Steve. We’ll see I guess.
Well, Steve. Looks like I was right with game three against the sixers AND game three against the Pacers. But…thanks for the call out?

Because you play to win every game in the playoffs. If it was called evenly, we win this game running away.
You are so ridiculous. Go troll somewhere else.

Punting a playoff game is for pussies. These Knicks are not pussies
What? Huh? They nearly won the game...smh.
Th fact that they almost won for starters. Secondly they figured out some rotation things and some things on defense.

I'm sure he'll play but maybe he won't hit 7 three's in the first half next game like he has the last two.
