What I like is the heart of the Knicks for sure and they play hard and remind me of the basketball i grew up with. I have nothing bad to say about them or how they play. I still think Brunson is a stud and a flopper and that is what it is. Many in the current NBA are that way. Our young Pacers and franchise in general has had more success the past 30 years than your beloved Knicks. The front runner comment is very true. Jets fans and Knicks fans etc only show up running their mouths when things are going well. Most Jets fans were already buying their Super Bowl tickets and 4 minutes into game 1 they all went into the witness protection program. Same as the past 20 years for the Knicks. I just don't like when fans try to pump up their team by belittling their opponents. In doing so you are actually saying your team beat a much inferior team which they probably should.. They are the #2 seed correct?? If the Pacers make it to the next round by "luck" or magic or rubbing the Genie lamp I can guarantee it won't be a sweep. The will not win the series but they won't get swept. 

As far as NYC its my favorite city in the US and can't wait to get back there. 

Most teams in the NBA have had more success over the last 30 years than the Knicks so that's not saying much and please don't even get me started with the Jets.  As a Jets fan, I am just waiting for the sky to fall.  And yes, these Knicks are  #2 seed and they over-achieved to get there (injuries to Randle, OG, Mitch, etc. etc.) and that's why NY has fallen in love with this team.  As far as NYers being more front-runner than any other fans - sorry, but I have to disagree.  What fan speaks up when his team sucks?  Not me - I suffer in silence and wait for my moments to crow (and trust me when I tell you they have been far and few between).  And I don't hate this Pacers team (although Halliburton looks pretty heartless right now).  I hate Reggie Miller but that's another story entirely.   I appreciate your love for NYC and despite what some may think, I'm not here as a troll (although I've been trolling the last week - but as the string will show, I only joined in when I heard endless excuses for the Knicks wins in game 1 and 2).  I'm here because I became a huge fan of IU and Hoosier basketball during my daughter's four years in Bloomington.  She loves Bloomington and IU and so do I.  Let's go Knicks.

Definition of front runner( and I saw  your Haliburton comment so you can save time and not repeat it)  Hide for a week and keep mouth shut when losing but  then puff up chest and gloat after a win. Just like most NY fans that i know.  Knicks outplayed them and won the game on to game 6. Brunson is a great player but if you don't think he and Harden flop and get BS calls I got nothing for you. Just 1 example when that semi truck ran out onto the court and hit Brunson and knocked him back 10 ft and they called the 3rd foul on Neismith but overruled it and called an offensive foul on Brunson. dude is either 80 pound wimpy kid or a flopper you decide. 

Lol - NY frontrunner is funny.  I’ve been a Mets,Jets and Knicks fan my whole life and I’m in my 50s.  I f-ing hate the Yankees.  Always have.  You can feel free to insult NYC all you want but “front runner” is just downright silly.  I love this Knicks team because they play with heart, guts and never make excuses and neither do I.  All of you “ Hoosiers” who think you have some sort of license on basketball should appreciate this Knicks team for the same reasons that most of the unbiased pundits do.  Heart, guts, hustle and resilience.  And you should love Brunson for the same reasons.   I know it sucks when you get your hopes up about a young Pacers team who lucked into the second round due to playing a real team with too many injuries to overcome and then your star absolutely disappears and shits the bed under the bright lights of Broadway.Maybe you manage to pull out game 6 & 7 - in which case, I won’t blame the refs, the injuries, the big market script or anything else.  I will tip my cap and then watch you get swept by the Celtics.  LMFAO.

I think we already know the answer, but will you be around when IU has games next season, or did you only make this account to sh*tpost? 

Ngl, enjoying the sh*tposting but will be right here with you shoulder to shoulder to support the Hoosiers next year.  It’s why I was here in the first place.

Funny how you show up when your team shows up and disappear when they get boat-raced.

Weak man...really weak.  You won't get any respect here acting as immature as you have.

Funny - sounds like you are describing Tyrese Halliburton to a tee.  Good one!

Why did the Pacers leave Halliburton in Indy?   Oh, my bad.  He’s there.  He’s just invisible.  Meanwhile Brunson flopped his way to 33 pts so far midway through the third quarter.  LMFAO

If you think that's a foul then you should just go watch golf or tennis. 

I think I don’t cry about fouls like Pacer fans.   Pacers won a game.  I move on to the next.  And I’m going to watch some golf this afternoon.

floppy flop floppersons @HoosierDaddyNYC

 

Convenient editing.  Watch the full play where you see Nembhard hit his arm.  He only shot the ball because he felt contact.  If you can’t appreciate Brunson for how good he is, I don’t want to bother with this.
 

Pacers barely pulled out a game at home against a severely depleted and hurting team.  They got all the calls tonight and won on a crazy lucky three pointer from a guy who was  more surprised that it went in than anyone

The difference is Knicks and their fans won’t cry and whine about the refs or the venue or the NBA or having to get up at dawn to plow the fields.  Knicks will win this series regardless so enjoy your win.  There won’t be many more.

Pretty much and he pushes off to get space to shoot. I still like him.as a ayer but he gets away with a lot of stuff.

Has Brunson always been a huge flopper?

By “huge flopper” do you mean the best player on the court and it’s not even close?

Take Pacers and Knicks fans out of the equation, and the overwhelming sentiment of unbiased NBA viewers is that the Pacers are getting screwed.  And to be clear, I'm not talking about anything the Knicks players do or don't do.  I'm specifically calling out the officials for a biased whistle and firmly believe that they want a Knicks / Celtics Eastern Conference Championship matchup.  

Let’s see what happens the next two games in Indy before you all go down the conspiracy wormhole.  NBA reffing (which I have always acknowledged is an impossible job) always leans towards the home team.  It’s a simple fact.  It’s also a fact that the best teams figure out a way to overcome adversity and win regardless of what is stacked against them (like losing Randle, Bogdanavich, Robinson, Brunson for part of the game, and now OG).  No excuses.  11 point lead in third quarter.  Stop blaming the refs and sack up and finish the job.

Idc who you blame when IU loses. Watching those games and thinking there is nothing wrong with how poorly the games are officiated and absolutely detrimental it's been to the Pacers is some biased shit. 

I think Brunson has turned into a complete douche. 

Facts are--- He's a flopper. 

 

 

And then you think about the 4 missed calls at the end of game 1... how could Pacers fans NOT think there is a conspiracy? Tf lol 

Whatever gets you through the night.  Copium is a powerful drug.  
 

Anyone who claims to know basketball and has watched Brunson at all this season knows better.

Stay bitter my man, stay bitter

You sound like a troll. Trolls usually confuse facts and excuses. But yeah, deal with it. lol tf

More grit lol... more toughness lol... more heart lol 

Truth hurts sometimes.  Facts are facts.

i don’t blame the refs when IU loses.  I won’t blame the refs if Pacers win next two in Indy.  And I try to understand why my team lost not seek some convenient excuses and conspiracy theories.  Until Carlisle showed his true colors I was impressed with Pacers players not blaming refs for losing.  Was hoping that they could take the loss with class.  Not like Philly. 
 

How about recognzing JB and Hart and Donte and OG for the incredible game and season they are having?  If OG had those three with him when he was at IU, we’d have two more banners, not Villanova

Oklahoma City and Minnesota are kicking ass in the playoffs but the NBA favors large markets...yeah, that must be it.

Best player on both teams missed the entire 2nd quarter....

Second best (healthy) player on Knicks missed the entire 4th quarter....

Pacers blow an 11 point lead and Tyrese disappears again....

Knicks scored 130 points on 92 possessions.....

Knicks outrebounded Pacers 44 to 34.....

Pacers missed a ton of clutch free throws down the stretch....

Carlisle inexplicably benches the only guy who seemed to be able to slow Brunson for last minutes of game....

Pacers were whistled for just 3 more fouls than the Knicks....

OMG - stop with all the whiny excuses.  Knicks beat Pacers again because they are a better team with more heart, more toughness, more grit and more talent.

Pacers fans need to face facts.  You are down 2-0 because the Knicks kicked your asses and are better and Brunson is twice the player Halliburton is.

Deal with it.
