Indy will come back strong. McConnell and Halliburton are not blaming the refs. They know they have to play better and probably will. They are such a fast team. Skilled and actually fun to watch.
It will be tough.
We need OG healthy.
The national media gives us no respect, in fact has antipathy towards us. Instead of telling the story of how this team has battled to second place in the conference after losing 3 starters most of the season and now, depleted and with a very small rotation, is winning against tough conference rivals and sending them home, they talk about how much they want us to lose and how we can’t last.
But. We know. We know who we are. And what we do. And it’s undeniable.
We have a special team. And that team is led by this person ⬇️.
I like our chances.
"Game 1…29 plays…clearly called wrong way…Didn't submit…[Tonight] Haliburton's got bad back & Hart comes up & shoves him…all over Twitter…no whistle…shocking. Many others; I can promise you we're gonna submit these tonight. New York can get ready…Their physicality is rewarded & ours is penalized…Small market teams deserve an equal shot…"
–– Pacers coach Rick Carlisle who was ejected at end of Game 2
The Knicks just won a playoff game without
• Julius Randle
• Mitchell Robinson
• Bojan Bogdanovic
• Jalen Brunson for 1.5 quarters
• OG Anunoby for 1.5 quarters
Shaq and Charles Barkley on the Knicks postgame:
“I would love to see they ass get stomped by the Celtics, that’d be great… New Yorkers y’all deserve it… y’all ain’t that good in New York, you’re overrated.”
Game Changer + Change Manager = Big Body Brunson

The Greatest individual performance in Franchise history.
Carry the hell on…
