Carlisle ripping the refs in the post game interview

[Nuntius]

He is saying what we are thinking

I was thinking he needed a pacifier.

He's just making sure they get the home-cooking in games 3 & 4

Yep. That's what this is about.

[Nuntius]

Weird Flex. The Josh Hart shove on Haliburton was a legit compliant, but I also thought the refs let a log on Knicks players being fouled on multiple occasions tonight (ie DiVo and Josh Hart)

RC and the Pacers had a legit beef and criticsm of the refs in game 1, tonight the Knicks did earn their win through sheer amazing will power and grit.

Brunson's heroics tonight is something I will remember for a long, long time, The Knicks version of The Terminator.

Brunson was amazing tonight indeed and the Knicks absolutely earned tonight's win. It's what cgf is saying, imo. RC is trying to make sure that we get some home cooking as well in Indiana.

[BigShot Bojan]

He's just making sure they get the home-cooking in games 3 & 4

Right, but at the expense of making his team look weak.

I dunno. He didn't come off all whiny like Nurse did. That reminded me more of a classic Phil Jackson officials rant.

Agreed! Nurse is just absurdly devoid of any self accountability

[reload141]

sounds like a loser that knows his team, that plays no defense, is dead in the water

knicks have to win 2 more, pacers need to win 4

The push on Haliburton was a pretty big miss.

Game 1, yeah I agree the refs favored the Knicks pretty hard.

But at the end of the day, Knicks earned this win through being the tougher and no-quit mentality as they have demonstrated throughout the playoffs.

I’ll need to check the maths on how many games each team needs to win though…

They also earned the game 1 win. Not our fault Haliburton only scored 6 points.

I mean… yeah it’s not your fault, but even you can admit if the refs called it both ways in Game 1 this series could easily be 1-1.

There’s no real issue here, game 2 was all fair

[Vampirate]

OG outplayed Siakam, it isn't even debatable that that's why the Pacers lost basically.

Even if Siakam had 4-8 more FTs, they'd still lose.

Siakam went 7-18, 14 points, 0-3 from 3, 0-2 from the FT line.

The Pacers shot 10/17 from the FT line. Shooting under 60% from the FT line isn't going to win you games.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ i'm a Raptor fan here so no real preference.

[NotaHypeJob]

The refs still owe the Pacers a game from the crap show on game 1. I think we all hope the refs help them win a game to make up for it

No I cant admit that. We had the same amount of calls go against us.

[durden_tyler]

Carlisle just making sure they get the calls in Game 3 to avoid the sweep. They’ll get the biased calls at home but New York should get one of the next two before finishing in 5.

I see.

We obviously didn’t watch the same game, all good!

Think what you think mate

[the_process]

The refs have been in favor of the Knicks for obvious reasons. We all have eyes, you can admit it, it's fine.

Regardless, props to Brunson for being the man.

Well, you also recently called Haliburton "Michael Carter-Williams 2.0" and claimed that a player who has been a 40% shooter throughout his entire career will, from now on, be a 30% shooter. So, you know, maybe it doesn't matter whether you can admit something or not

Even Micheal Carter Williams was capable of a resurgent game when playing half a team minus its best defenders. But Game 1 and the start of this game proved me right....which is why you were nowhere to be seen at that time.

[robillionaire]

The only thing this trash coach ever did was 2011 and that was because Kidd was the actual player coach and he’s made a career off of that moment and has been trash for the last 13 years. We are down like 4 solid players. And they still lost. The pacers are ass, and even if we drop the series in 6 with OG out they aren’t going much further. If we were fully healthy it would be Knicks in 4 and at the rate it’s going it might still be Knicks in 4 even while injury riddled. And this bum is crying about refs. Pathetic. They’d already be home if giannis didn’t wanna take the month off

pretty wild that the knicks played without their pg in the first half, and the pacers played without their pg in the 2nd half.

What are you talking about? I was here throughout game 2.

[LaLover11]

Jim Carey is pissed!

The irony here is that Haliburton only ended up playing 3 minutes more than Brunson. You sorely missed Brunson when he was out, that's a given, but he didn't end up missing much time after all. And he was 100% the best player on the court when he was in. He was unstoppable.

[Bob Ross]

First Nurse and now this. Maybe try beating a team who's missing 3 starters, one being an all NBA power forward. Brunson sonned you on one leg

[KOA]

I hope the league responds back to Rick and his tapes with their own tapes of Siakam bricking 2 FTs and 3 3s.

Dude's not taking any accountability for being a **** coach. TJ was +11 and got the Pacers back into the game so Rick brings in Nembhard who was -21 and getting cooked by Brunson all day.
Obi Toppin scored 20 points in 20 mins and was +9. Where was he in crunch time?

Obi was injured.
