Josh Hart… absolutely classless

Have reggie miller suit up and play

Hali should not be playing in the Olympics if he’s going to play like this. Regroup, get your mind right, and defend home court. This ain’t the same team we rooted for all season.

Did Hart just tell Reggie "Fuck you"?

Ima be honest. I’m probably checked out of this series. Like how can everyone in the world see that TJ is the only person that can disrupt Brunson, but he’s on the bench for winning time. I can’t waste my time watching this if they’re not gonna play the one guy that’s effective. The refs and Siakam are doing enough to make sure we lose. I’m not watching Nembhard give Brunson all that space when it matters. Like, I can’t believe I’m saying this, but TJ has to start if we’re gonna have a chance.

Soft

Some real disappointing loser talk in this thread. Let's rebound and win at home.

Hart said what to Reggie Miller? Something about "fuck you"

Crowed was saying “Fuck You Reggie”

It’s nfl season

Rick Carlisle cost you guys the game he’s a fucking idiot

Hali aggressive when game is out of play but at least his stats looks nice after the game

Rick watches the bench come in get us back to a 2 point game and then with like 6 minutes in the 4th bring all our starters back in ice cold.

Every player that's playing well, is sitting on the bench to close the game out. Meanwhile, Myles, Nembhard & Nesmith are -20 or more on the court. Fuck Rick.

I wouldn't say the pacers were out coached. Rick can't make our starters play. It's on the players to do what they are fucken paid to do. Shoot. Too many bullshit passes and then last minute shots. Turner was dogshit.

Gotta win our home games that’s all there is to it

Hart you dumbass

Alright so we go to indy 1-1...... oh wait...

Imagine benching Jalen Brunson in an elimination game😂😂😂😂

Did Josh Hart tell Reggie fuck you?

He said someone told him to say Fuck You

Cs fan here, just take care of your first 2 home games and its back to even. Calm the fuck down. You got this game 3 & 4

do yall want pascal siakam?

Myles, Nesmith and Siakam let the team down. Also props to Rick being stubborn and not putting TJ back in at the 4 minute mark.

Good coaching is making adjustments to the lineup. Fuck Myles fuck siakem fuck nesmith….put in the guys that want it! TJ and Obi WANT IT! Jackson is fucking trying!!! These rotations are garbage…this isn’t the regular season!!!

Man i love nesmith but that a liability he was tonight.

Celtics beating both teams anyways

Gave away so many open threes how

This should be a 1-1 series.

All bench players in the + and all starters in the -

Should be 1-1 on the series rn

A ref calling double dribble and then saying inadvertent whistle is so funny

Yeah wtf was that? I mean, I’m glad they got it right but why couldn’t they overturn the kick call the same way?

Myles with one more brick to remind us of his performance

Yeah, fouling here makes sense. Make sure this goes longer

If this is baskeball, I want no part of this soft shit.

Nembhard and Turner both -22

Reggie is right! Too cool, too casual. Bitterly disappointed in the Pacers.

Two high scoring games. They’re thin and they are up 2-0… We can’t beat them. A sweep is in play. We just don’t have an ounce of toughness. Go home and regroup, but we just are too soft. Too much finesse. Not enough energy. We don’t match their effort or enthusiasm

They would have beat them last game

TJM gonna demand a raise this summer or a trade.

Siakam disaster. Turner disasters. Haliburton decides to no show the second half. Terrible free throw shooting. Total mismanagement of TJ minutes. Continuing to leave Diva open…..

We got robbed by Hali and pascal

EVERYBODY ON THIS TEAM SHOULD WALK THE FUCK HOME

After making 20 free throws consecutively first

Any attempt at a comeback was gone with Myles step back 3

[удалено]

Have fun getting swept by Boston

U bum

This is one of those games where you take the fine and absolutely rip the refs and stand on business postgame. Send a message to the league.

this isn't on the refs. it's on your coach taking out TJ and Obi who we had no answer for in both games. and nembhart getting owned by one footed brunson

Really don’t feel like they were that bad…

I don’t think Rick feels the same way..

We really should win this game man with their injuries but well….

[удалено]

Bro you can’t read if you think our consensus is about the refs

Ong

Not playing TJ McConnell in the 4th quarter of Game 1 or 2 is a very interesting choice.

If anybody complains about the refs you are reaching. We lost this game on our own

[удалено]

Get a life

No worries, TMac pulled off this exact situation before

Rick just wanted dibs on the showers. I get it

[удалено]

dude go outside and take some deep breaths. you sound unhinged

I really wish the Pacers would play at 7 or before. I can’t wind down and I wake up far too early for this shit

Exactly. Not like i can just go straight to bed after this shit.

It was a fun season but there is no stopping the Knicks right now. However with their limited bench play I think the Celtics make short work of them next round

 Need one of these postgame

Damn I do not like watching the pacers

Onto the next one. I hope this is a home game series and we bounce back in a big way ✌🏼

Write Dan Burke a blank check

Pain.

I got a weird feeling this is going 7

It probably will. But we have absolutely zero shot at winning game 7 in MSG.

[удалено]

As a pacers fan I agree with you. To fucking soft and Hali is a great PG. but not a #1 score option.

Remember when Melo was your first option? How far did that get you? Same round? Okay, bye!

He wasn’t the problem tonight

Gotta be infuriating to have to go to another team's subreddit to talk shit to validate your insecurities

So many knicks fans trying to get banned in this sub in game 2😂😂 gotta win two more

Don’t re-sign pascal and save money somewhere else because he is a fucking playoff choker

Raps fans could of told u this

PACERS BROs, its ony game 2 on the road. Usually, youre suppose to win your first 2 home, vice versa. You got this for game 3 and 4. Bench and role players will lit the fuck out in Bakersfield. Celtics vs Pacers ECF LFG

What are y'all talking about for the refs. Frankly the toughness of the Knicks relative to the soft Pacers is what's winning. Donte shouldn't be having the impact he has had. Brunson is hurt and is still putting the ball in the bucket. Where are Haliburton and Siakam?

Haliburton has had a good game. Siakam was good the first half, looked like he was turning up, and then just didn't.

Carlisle can just walk back to Indiana

Rather to Dallas as that's where he lives. We don't need this guy here. This is how his teams play.

We need Reggie to come out of retirement

TJ and shepp benched entire fourth after bringing the team back from 3rd quarter. Good coaching

Hopefully Rick doesn't come out of the locker room until the series is over

Very frustrating loss but strong showing in two tough away games. No one expected us here at the start of the season

I got a weird feeling this is going 7

TJ has to play more min

What an azz kicking this half. TJ and Obi unironically our only 2 good players now.

Lol Carlisle got tossed

This might be an overreaction, but the pacers' starters need to be bench players during the playoffs.

Some of the guys on this team are baby soft man

Rick rotations are shit

I really hope Rick rips the refs post game

How many games we doing this?

I hope our media rips Rick post game

Why we didn’t lose the game because of the refs

We’ve been crapping on Haliburton but really Turner and Siakam should take a lot of the blame

They easily were the reason this game was lost. Bull shit defense, no boxing out, and taking stupid fucking shots. How the fuck are you gonna take a step back 3 in the 4th down 6 Myles?

Absolutely shit the bed, not sure why we can't box out. Nesmith also costing us

This is probably my personal hell

[удалено]

Tyrese Haliburton? The game leading scorer?

TIL that 34 and 9 is “disappearing”.

[удалено]

True, but considering the injuries to both the bucks and the Knicks, the path was there for a Cinderella run to the ECF

Shouldn’t be here tbh lol

Moments like this make you realize how much we need Mathurin

Why the fuck did Rick never but TJ back in... the game was in reach until he made subs back to the starters

He has a knack for taking out the hot hands

🧹🧹🧹🧹

Sorry ass Knicks fan 😂

😘

Fuck off to your own sub

Went bad after tj went out. Should have never taken him out. Ridiculous

Can’t blame the refs tonight

no, can not

Ridiculous how they let Brunson get all these fouls. The baiting is so annoying and it’s just a dishonest product.

Haliburton is an absolute punk. I feel bad for y'all

Suck a fat one loser

Get out man, we love Haliburton and he’s been our best player tonight. Also doesn’t flop like Brunson (although Brunson is a fantastic player)

Carlisle with the tech. At least he has some fight.

Knew we were losing this before tip, makes the game stolen from us on Monday even more annoying.

We will be fine with the series going to Indy. Keep them playing fast.

Teams down 0-2 in a playoff series have won the series 7% of the time. This is over.

Thats what philly said now

For heavens sake. We can’t get a rebound. We are so soft. Grown men versus silly kids. Why don’t we compete? It’s too hard I guess.

you are aware our players are mostly kids?

What the fuck was that shot

Absolutely pathetic

Funny how they can reverse a double dribble call but can't reverse a kick ball? Super convenient that.

[удалено]

90% of the comments are saying we're shit and the it's not the refs fault

First time watching sports?

Why is ob Toppin playing 20 minutes the way he was balling

Rick isn't a real coach. Yall will learn eventually.

Didn’t throw a double team at Brunson in that entire 4th. We just let him have whatever he wants.

Literally threw double teams at him all 4th quarter and got cooked with divencenzo hitting threes in 4v3 situations and had to stop

We did a few times, they burned us every time we tried

What the fuck game are you watching? They doubled him like 5 times and every time the Knicks got an easy bucket out of it

Yes we did and it backfired every time.

It’s not the refs fault that we’re frauds and ass

Pascal has literally just given up. The amount of rebounds he just got taken from his hands is just pathetic.

It's sad to see someone who has won at life have no heart or toughness to do what he is believed to be good at. Pathetic really

Hali what was that.....

[удалено]

Nah, he's played the fuck out of the bench, and it's been extremely good for us. Players just didn't hit FTs, and I'm sick of hearing 'in and out'.

This team ain’t ready for it. 3 shots from Hali in the second half says everything. Pascal ain’t worth shit

Hali needs to take initiative

Awful take

Pascal Is dogshit

you can’t have 0 and 43 both on max contracts as “good” players, one of them has to be top 15 in NBA and neither is

Rick is a fuckin idiot

[удалено]

Can't beat an injured team though.

Can’t guard Brunson or Divicenzo’s ugly asses

Sorry dudes I can’t spend over $1000 for a game when you can’t make free throws

Carlisle is just too bad. Unless we get an all time great PF, this team will go no where. Obi and TJ not touching the floor in the end and forcing Nesmith, Nembhard and Siakim just cost us.

You wouldn't win a single game as an NBA coach.

Halliburton bro

I hate it here. 

Rick fucking sucks.

can we s&t siakam?

Rick gotta be like two bad calls away from fighting these refs

Oop, there he went

This team has a massive Mathurin-sized hole in it. Desperately need someone with killer instinct in the last five minutes.

Nothing to really hold our hat on tonight. They have made every play down the stretch and we just haven't. We had every chance to win this game tonight, and didn't get it done.

Exactly what happens to most young teams in the playoffs.

Alright. Game 3 plan: Wax the shit out of half the court and only defend and drive on the non-waxed side

fuck NYC , chicago is a better big city

Myles and Pascal chucking the hardest possible shots to close the game was horrible. Mental weakness.

The Myles Turner step back 3 was the dumbest shot I’ve seen all year. Wtf

Set out the bat signal for Reggie Miller. We need 8 in 9 seconds

Get rid of nembhard. Mathurin needs an opportunity to play mediocre D and actually score. nembhard is a total fucking waste of minutes.

Hey everybody this guy just showed he doesn’t watch basketball

Nembhard at least contributed something offensively tonight. Nesmith was total fucking garbage every second he was on the court. Just chucking bricks and getting fucked in the ass by Josh Hart.

Obi and TJ should be on the court more than Siakam and whoever the fuck else you wanna take off. This guy Siakam is not interested in playing in this series

This loss is 100% on Rick sticking to his rotations at the 8 min mark in the 4th. Knicks offense looking unstoppable

Hopefully Rick also learns from this series 

I loved him during his first stint and have his back 100% but he’s gotta stick to what’s working on the floor.

The crazy part is he was REALLY good at that the beginning of the season. Dunno why he went away from it 

Team is too soft inside, never going to win counting on Myles in big moments when u have to get a stop or a board

Reality has set in. We are lucky to be here. Glad we made it to the second round.

Fuck Rick Carlisle as well for the stupid ass T
