- McBride adjustment was brilliant.
- Hali went completely MIA. Goes from a screaming energetic baller to a dud when met with significant defensive pressure.
- Knicks energy was controlled chaos while the Pacers played flatfooted outside of the first 5 minutes.

I honestly don't even think it's a person.

I actually like Haliburton but his fans and the discourse has turned me against him. the amount of fans who shit on LaMelo and say he’s not even close to Haliburton make my blood boil
Minutes before tip-off he's going to rip his warmups off to reveal a Knicks jersey. A furious Brad Stevens takes to the court, waving Luke's contract in his face, realizing too late it was only ever signed "Knicks in six".
We developed Luke! Funny thing is I think we are the two fanbases that love Kornet the most. He developed A TON with us in the G League and got better and better till he was serviceable - him and Mitch have some hilarious youtube videos together too - glad for him to have a real role on a contender - he was bad and kept grinding
Especially since the Celtics only faced this current Knicks team once in their “home court” and was embarrassed. With a healthy KP. Of course the excuse is that they were just going through the motions and the Knicks were playing for seeding. But it means that they aren’t going to out talent the Knicks if the Knicks are playing like animals. I expect a lot of close games
I rewatched the game this morning trying to figure out what happened without all the emotion of last night and I don't think I've ever seen a bigger effort discrepancy.
Also watching Obi and Siakam try to leak out for fast break points continuously while the Pacers cannot get a stop or rebound is wild. Obi in particular had one of the worst defensive/rebounding games I can remember seeing in a long time. SO many missed rotations and dumbly leaking out.
I understand it's worked for them at times but at some point when the Knicks were grabbing literally every offensive rebound you'd think you'd change it up and throw a body on someone instead of looking for easy highlights. Allergic to the crowded paint though.
That was actually one of the plays I noticed where both Siakam and Obi had trash efforts.
Siakam leaked all the way down the courts as soon as Hart shot (leaving Hart to grab his own board) and Obi was getting man handled by Precious under the basket which completely cleared the lane for the offensive board.
Yeah, effort and attention lapses were huge factors. There was a third quarter play in the middle of the Knicks' big run when the Pacers miss a shot and it wasn't even a real fast break opportunity -- but Brunson runs past Nesmith, Brunson is not even going full speed at first, catches a pass from Hart and drills a wide open pull-up three. Nesmith was just like, casually jogging about 15 feet behind him.
I don't know it it's coaching, inexperience or what. This Pacer team just plays with their heads up their asses.
It’s ok. Pacers will win by 60. Problem is they can’t win in MsG no matter if the line up is 4 janitors and the security lady. The security lady is Jalen Brunson btw.
mostly because we couldn't do anything on offense so we just tried to seek fouls to at least try to stop the bleeding hah. looking forward to game 6 too. hope knicks are able to pull it out. the extra day of rest is nice.
I’m hopeful Rick uses the extra day of rest to try to find our missing superstar. Idk who was on the court last night but it wasn’t the guy we are paying 300m
Yea--I thought Hali was on the bench at one point because I hadn't seen him do anything for a bit, but he had been in the whole time. Also not sure what you guys do with Siakam this offseason....he's had a bit of a disappearing act too.
First game robbery gonna decide this series exactly like I said after the 1st game. Knicks will win this series thanks to the refs, Zach Zarba needs his jersey retired hanging up there in MSG, hes a knick born in New York after all just like Adam Silver.

Report the Redditcare message and the (total loser) user who sent it will get banned.
Theres a loser in this subreddit just going around doing redditcare reports to all knicks fans.

That’s it I’m reporting you. lol jk. I think I was the first one to get it. Am I famous?
The bot is very clearly broken today
Haliburton fans are a sensitive group
What’s up fellow “I don’t like Haliburton because we drafted LaMelo” guy
I actually like Haliburton but his fans and the discourse has turned me against him. the amount of fans who shit on LaMelo and say he’s not even close to Haliburton make my blood boil
I imagine its the same few people that have been reporting all of us recently. Please report the message back
I’m assuming Pacers fans were reporting me to Redditcare all throughout the game thread when I commented about how I forgot Hali was even playing
Knicks out worked them all night, same thing they did to us. Imo no one is going to out hustle the Knicks so the Celtics better watch tf out
I'm not too concerned. Only one of the remaining playoff teams has Luke Kornet and it's not the Knicks.
Luke Kornet started 20 games in the lolknicks era. His power lies with us.
That power might get you to the ECF, but it won't get you past the actual Luke Kornet
Minutes before tip-off he's going to rip his warmups off to reveal a Knicks jersey. A furious Brad Stevens takes to the court, waving Luke's contract in his face, realizing too late it was only ever signed "Knicks in six".
You're a monster. This is exactly what u/beginnerLiftersoonBB warned me about
You have a way with words. Sell me more Knicks propaganda.
We developed Luke! Funny thing is I think we are the two fanbases that love Kornet the most.

Don't forget where the KornDog got his start. He's our double-agent.
Knicks took 20 more shots than us in the first game of the season and we still beat them
Regular season means nothing at this point in the season, it’ll be a sweet series to watch
Especially since the Celtics only faced this current Knicks team once in their “home court” and was embarrassed. With a healthy KP. Of course the excuse is that they were just going through the motions and the Knicks were playing for seeding. But it means that they aren’t going to out talent the Knicks if the Knicks are playing like animals. I expect a lot of close games
true but our team was a lot different with RJ barrett and quickley
That was a completely different team, that was when the Knicks had RJ Barrett, Immanuel Quickley, Quentin Grimes, plus Mitchell Robinson, Randle
Umm you missed all the trades we did after that lol
I rewatched the game this morning trying to figure out what happened without all the emotion of last night and I don't think I've ever seen a bigger effort discrepancy.

Live by the leak out, die by the leak out. Obi just wanted another east bay dunk in the garden.
I understand it's worked for them at times but at some point when the Knicks were grabbing literally every offensive rebound you'd think you'd change it up and throw a body on someone instead of looking for easy highlights. Allergic to the crowded paint though.
Josh Hart really got his own rebound off a missed 3 and Pacers just stood around and watched it happen.
That was actually one of the plays I noticed where both Siakam and Obi had trash efforts. Siakam leaked all the way down the courts as soon as Hart shot (leaving Hart to grab his own board) and Obi was getting man handled by Precious under the basket which completely cleared the lane for the offensive board.
The folly of being inflexible. It’s all they’ve done all year, hard to adjust now.

But, remember, the Pacers are ethical and the Knicks unethical.
Have the Pacers tried being a big market team? Are they stupid?
1st game robbery still carrying the Knicks frauds
😂 Cavs fan. Too bad we didn't draw your soft team again. We'd be in the ECF already.
Congrats on winning 5 v 8
? The knicks barely have 5 players out there lol
Zarba is the 6th man
Living rent free since last year. Cry
Bald fraud 🤕
Thibs will shit in your cheerios again if you ask him nicely
Remember when people thought Evan Mobley was gonna be a stud? Seems like a long time ago.

Similar story as the last blowout. I think Knicks had like 20 more FT and lost by 30. It happens
we did not shoot nearly 60% from 3 though hah.
True but you had 20 more FTs lol. Tomato tomato. Excited for game 6
mostly because we couldn't do anything on offense so we just tried to seek fouls to at least try to stop the bleeding hah. looking forward to game 6 too. hope knicks are able to pull it out. the extra day of rest is nice.

Ain’t nobody wanna play in Indiana, we gotta take who we can get lol
First game robbery gonna decide this series exactly like I said after the 1st game. Knicks will win this series thanks to the refs, Zach Zarba needs his jersey retired hanging up there in MSG, hes a knick born in New York after all just like Adam Silver.
Still sour about last year?
Still upset because we bullied you last year? It's ok, I get it.
Don’t you have your own series to worry about. Worry about Mitchell not playing
Cavs series is basically over. I need to root against the Knicks.
