Ok thanks for clarifying I mean they had a couple other insane comebacks and Haliburton is a monster but yeah that was historical biblical shit last night.
As a Knick fan that was heartbreaking as it gets and I have hated the Pacers since Reggie and Rick Smits and the Davis boys but I’m not worried about it.
Knicks played better than them the entire game basically, even when Indiana started off shooting 70 fucking percent in the first quarter, Knicks were right there toe to toe handling it, they don’t need to make many adjustments now (aside from removing both hands from around their necks) they just need to keep doing what they were doing, Pacers are not winning this series, fuck them.
Even if NY ends up losing this, which they won’t, they have gotten farther than anyone gave them any chance of getting, they were never supposed to beat Boston that’s for sure and at this point they are by far the most entertaining team in the playoffs so far, almost playing with house money at this point but they will bounce back.
EDIT: I should have mentioned when I was talking about adjustments that I hope Thibs is making those guys shoot extra free throws in practice today, they missed 12 free throws last night and that was huge. Huuuuuige.
If they could have cut those 12 misses down to like 6 or even 8 misses, they win the game outright.
Example if OG hits both free throws instead of one with 7 seconds left in the game, they win. It’s over. The lucky bounce shot doesn’t help because the Knicks are up 3 instead of 2 and the choke gesture never happens.
I know I know, if if if if if , if only this if only that, you can say that about so many little things.
The Knicks absolutely choked but Indy still had to make all those shots down the stretch, they absolutely deserved to win.
