I'm stunned.
And btw, someone does need to put Hali on his ass for his taunting.

I was yelling at the TV don’t foul when we up 3 with `13 seconds left in regulation.

Make them knock down another 3 - the worst that happens you are tied with the ball.

You start fouling and you given them points and stop the clock.

They miss the 3 with 13 seconds left and we are likely up 5 after a foul and FTs.

Don’t care if Nesmith hit 45 3’s in a row —- don’t stop the clock and put them in the line.

Come on man OG (Mr Butterfingers) bobbled the initial pass for an easy dunk —- no way we were getting that call especially after Siakim make clean initial block and OG fell to the floor like 5 year old girl.

I'm not too annoyed; it's a child's act. But there was no defensive adjustment after a couple of made 3s by Indiana at the start of their run. Same thing happened in Game 5 in Boston. The Knicks putrid Q4 defense earned them this loss.

“99.7 win percentage when they led by 14 points with 2:51 left”

An ALL TIME COLLAPSE which only the Knicks at the garden could be in losing side of - PAR FOR THE COURSE.

Brutal —- everyone just losing people.

And once again another scrub has a career game —- congrats Andrew Nesmith
NYStateOfMind @ 5/21/2025 11:29 PM
Supposed to be a tech these days, but of course, they didn't call it. The one possession where JB got clobbered no call, then the touch foul on JB on Hali was disgusting and a joke.

That’s what lost the game. Nembhard made 30 straight 3’s and no adjustments

LivingLegend @ 5/21/2025 11:33 PM
We also got extremely lucky in OT after made FT where everyone runs up court leaving only Jalen to receive a pass then he gets ball and gets doubled and jumps in the air and just bounces the ball on the floor.

We get lucky and OG comes back to get it but what are we doing.

No Payne in 2nd half?

“NBA teams were 0-970 in the playoffs over the last 27 years when trailing by 14+ points with under 2:50 left in regulation.
Tonight made it 1-970”
Panos @ 5/21/2025 11:35 PM
Can we not use Precious to give some hard fouls?
VDesai @ 5/21/2025 11:36 PM
Its probably the worst disaster in sports history.

Most improbable come back in sports history.

Just have to put it behind us, but that is one of the worst memories of my lifetime already.

Yup. You play the percentages. Stick to Hali and Nesmith and maybe Nemhard. But Turner, or Obi or Siakam's not gonna make 6 straight threes. Let em drive. But stick to the 2 guys that can make the 3s at pace.

I know OG bobbled but that stuff happens. 38 points in a quarter doesn't let you win. And that's what we gave the Pacers.

Knixkik @ 5/21/2025 11:36 PM
All time collapse. Can’t really say much else besides the series just started. Have to just play better.

20 pts in the last 2:40. Worst part is we were playing great defense and then we let Nesmith turn jnto a god

Perhaps the worst 4th quarter play I have seen in a while. We’ll, since the Celtics 4th quarters…

Like all he has to do is subtly tackle and take out Nesmith, right?
