Lettuce NBA!

Lol wtf was that entire sequence
And bridges even fouls toppin on the dunk for no reason
Sorry mclovin, pacers in 3
Fine by me. I got Pacers 80-1 to title after G1 vs Bucks.

All I saw was the last few mins of OT. I saw a replay the absurd shot to end regulation. No idea how they blew a 14 pt lead with less than 2 mins left.
But yea this has never made sense to me.
1) it's the NBA they're almost never gonna foul him out
2)you're guaranteed he misses a lot of the game by taking him out rather than he almost always doesn't and occasionally fouls out.
I agree, but it didn't matter in this particular case. McBride played fine, and the Knicks significantly extended their lead in fourth while Brunson was on the bench.

Yea I have no clue what happened in the 4th quarter besides the last shot. Was just commenting on the strategy of it which makes no sense.
McLov was always a Toppin truther iirc. Couple sick dunks to close it.
Those last three pacers baskets were cause NYK were gassed, imo. Losing guys on back doors and not boxing out.
Taunting occurred after the final buzzer in regulation. I don't know what the rule is, but I suspect that the Knicks would have shot the free throws in overtime if Halliburton had gotten a tech for taunting.
Pacers repeatedly getting lucky
Maybe they’re just ****ing amazing.
They’re winning it all.
Ahem

This is actually the rule. Knicks would've opened OT with a FT, then they'd have jumped it
unless they changed the rule, it's fine to taunt the crowd? like how reggie didn't get t'd up, and how mutombo was fine after changing from finger-waving in the face of the guys he blocked to turning and doing it to the crowd instead, making it more of a celebratory thing
Nesmith is a bad bad man.
When a dude keeps hitting killer clutch threes vs you. You don’t want none of the team he is on.
Only reason Knicks are still live in this serious after this massive collapse is because of Brunson the captain who can lead and right the ship.
That was the best Pacers playoff game I've ever seen live. It's 1a 1b with 8 points in 9 seconds.
That was my first thought. Which game was better. My mind is too blown right now to decide.

Toppin truther indeed.
Also im totally fine with no taunting tech (and it woulda been shot before OT started). He was no where near any Knick.
If he did it in Brunson’s grill, then yeah T him up.
Also that Hali shot to end regulation is the luckiest NBA shot made since Kawhi’s triple bounce in to eliminate Philly en route to the title.

This is better. Because they had to prove it after the comeback + ridiculous shot and win in OT on the road.

You should be allowed to take a dump on the teams court if you come back from 14 with 1:40 left.
Lol at actually just handing Towns the ball there that's just rubbing it in would've been epic if he made the insta release invalid shot.
Could Towns have punched it into the basket?

Probably true. Plus this is the ECF vs. 8p9s was the ECSF, but it's close either way.
I think if that Tyrese shot is a 3, it's #1

Okay how about this
If this leads to Pacers winning it all.. then this game is #1.
