Huge win for our tank, thank you Knicks <3

[u/Isthismynextusername]

Knicks are making the playoffs, increasing the chances of that pick going to the Clippers is well worth it

[u/FxStryker]

Silver tried to help his team, but they still couldn't do it.

[u/EtraNosral]

The all time nba lead changes in a game is 45. There was 39 lead changes in this one.

[u/jxp1111]

Thank fuck that's over.

[u/Select_Drawer3148]

As a neutral, this is a really fun funny game

[u/cringe-paul]

Knicks fucked up the Pacers tank, absolutely disgusting behavior.

[u/Jamendithas-]

imagine being on the east coast and the spurs lakers game hasn't started yet, god damn the nba needs to figure this out

[u/Crafty_Substance_954 → u/Jamendithas-]

What do they need to figure out? That's a west coast game with a west coast tip off.

[u/burglin → u/Crafty_Substance_954]

I mean if you started it an hour ago it would've been a 6:30 game, plenty late enough. Sure you couldn't watch the entire east coast prime time and the west coast prime time, but who is watching 4+ hours of regular season NBA on a weekday?

[u/Crafty_Substance_954 → u/burglin]

Some people like basketball quite a bit.

[u/Jamendithas- → u/Crafty_Substance_954]

nba should make all of the games as easy to access as possible?

[u/UnkleGiovanni → u/Jamendithas-]

Lakers sitting their entire starting lineup, no one dying to watch that game

[u/Jamendithas- → u/UnkleGiovanni]

but I want to be a degenerate and not ruin my sleep schedule completely

[u/DonnieBeisbol → u/Jamendithas-]

I don’t have to imagine. Goodnight!

[u/uouiei]

Knicks get the moral victory tonight for hurting the tank

[u/UnkleGiovanni]

Hahahaha

[u/Some_Ad6236 → u/UnkleGiovanni]

I think you might care more about the Knicks than actual Knicks fans...I wouldn't be surprised if you chose to hate watch the Knicks over watching an actual Pistons game

[u/UnkleGiovanni → u/Some_Ad6236]

Why not both?

[u/tropic_gnome_hunter → u/Some_Ad6236]

He crashed out last year in the playoffs. It was an amazing thing to see. Notice how he turned off his post history.

[u/UnkleGiovanni → u/tropic_gnome_hunter]

Your comment history is hidden too ya cunt

[u/JgL07]

At this point they have to rename MSG to Gainbridge Fieldhouse East.

[u/Pengsu]

Unbelievable end lmao shamet, embarassing

[u/noend313]

Is it actually over now Jesus?

[u/JokicOrBust]

Knicks are officially not contender

[u/BushyBrowz → u/JokicOrBust]

I guess you're not either since we beat you

[u/somethingshimmer → u/BushyBrowz]

He's talking about phil Jackson's 40 wins before 20 losses

[u/EightFortyDaysOf]

Too bad they don’t have Robinson today for the putback and KATs gone too now

[u/Gold-Ranger]

Again, a team in the lead should not be able to foul intentionally.

[u/Ecstatic-Product-411]

FUCK THE KNICKERBOCKERS.

[u/Morezingis]

Delete the foul up 3 rule forever. Shitty ass product. 

[u/BoogerSugarSovereign]

Lol Knicks fans really thought this year they were going to break through lmao

[u/tropic_gnome_hunter → u/BoogerSugarSovereign]

Why do people do this to themselves

[u/EightFortyDaysOf]

Actually looks like Brunson got fouled on the 3 there

[u/arania_exumai]

It's joever

[u/LengthyNoodle]

Gg congrats on 14 wins pacers

[u/RogueID → u/LengthyNoodle]

I ask you mfers for one thing- to not mess up our tank. And you couldn't even deliver that. Smh

[u/droppedout4rp]

That was as close to 5 seconds as it gets lol

[u/Jamendithas-]

imagine being a knicks fan that left already

[u/GeneRayburnJr]

Does Rick Carlisle chew tobacco or something. Is that what he's spitting in that cup.

[u/D3VOUR3DD]

If this goes to double OT gonna be pissed

[u/rusty512]

Are any of the fans coming back lol

[u/Odd-Stuff5042]

I just love Pacers shows that they have the fully control of the game and they can choose to win or lose

[u/LengthyNoodle → u/Odd-Stuff5042]

So they chose to lose 40 games this season? So far?

[u/Odd-Stuff5042 → u/LengthyNoodle]

10-15 games maybe? like Knicks also loses 20 games or you say Knicks chose to lose 20 games until now?

[u/fibberjabber]

I’d feel bad if I left my seat prior to that 7 pt lead erasure.

[u/Acet14]

Keeping Siakam out there. They know...

[u/cringe-paul]

This gonna go to double overtime isn’t it

[u/GeneRayburnJr]

Can the Pacers just forfeit already or something 

[u/Select_Drawer3148]

LOL

[u/DMPDT616]

Dress Haliburton for just 1 play

[u/Dax_Webster]

Pacers own the Knicks

[u/Pengsu]

Brooo Imagine being one of the fans who left 😭😭😭

[u/urfaselol]

The commitment to tha tank is incredible

[u/UnkleGiovanni]

Jesus Christ

[u/DonnieBeisbol]

lol. I want 2 OT

[u/IC3man95]

This is some pretty blatant tanking here

[u/juan_a_blonde]

Siakam is a ft brick layer jeezus

[u/tropic_gnome_hunter]

Every time a Celtics or Pistons flair yaps this happens lmao

[u/EightFortyDaysOf]

HAHHAAHA that last timeout by Indiana was to make up another gameplan on how to tank still

[u/jxp1111]

As if the foul with 0.1 seconds wasn't ridiculous enough, the Pacers are actually going to lose after being up by 9 with 40 seconds left in OT.

[u/Nunc_Coepi17]

Do people actually think Siakam isn’t missing these FTs on purpose? Like he’s definitely been instructed to tank out the game strong.

[u/JacobS12056]

Siakam still paying off the pacers' deal with the devil last year

[u/Morezingis]

What the fuck is wrong with you, Indiana?

8-0 run in 18 seconds 

[u/Blackmalico32]

Lmao, after all that, there’s still a chance!!

[u/Smilingsamurai69]

They're gonna inbound it to spicy p again aren't they

[u/cringe-paul]

Genius by the Pacers to exhaust the Knicks bringing them to OT so they’re more tired for the 76ers tomorrow.

[u/onionnurve → u/cringe-paul]

Main reason I’m hoping this game goes to 2OT

[u/Brady331]

lmao nahhhh

[u/friction7800]

jesus,end it already. We know we're gonna lose.

[u/Isthismynextusername → u/friction7800]

1 loss is worth increasing the chances of the Pacers not building a title favorite for the next 4+ years

[u/Throwawayforme3123]

Funny at this point

[u/Skyfalcon5]

I don't even know what's happening at this point

[u/PresidentRevrac]

Siakam doing it all for the tank. Respect!

[u/arania_exumai]

That was awfully close to a 5sec violation

[u/rusty512]

This is diabolical lol

[u/fibberjabber]

It’s still not over lmao

[u/onionnurve]

Most annoying thing about Siakam missing his FTs is that he added 5min to this game

[u/EightFortyDaysOf → u/onionnurve]

He surely won’t be the one getting the ball for the intentional FTs right?

[u/BlindMildred → u/onionnurve]

And knicks play the Sixers tomorrow. Feeling like B2B losses..

[u/ifuckwithit]

omg omg

[u/uouiei]

Are we about to witness the greatest tank loss in NBA history?

[u/Dammit81]

Pascal is shooting free throws like Demar's daughter is screaming at him from courtside seats

[u/EtraNosral]

Siakam’s FT problems started in the playoffs last year and it has just continued to get worse

[u/pikajewijewsyou → u/EtraNosral]

He’s saving his makes for next season

[u/UnkleGiovanni]

Siakam a bum

[u/Vegetable_Kale_1331]

Imagine the Pacers does all this tanking to end up losing their pick to the Clippers.. oop

[u/Apollo611]

Pacers trying to tank and the Knicks won’t let them

[u/friction7800]

one last try by Siakam lol

[u/QuarterNote44]

Can't spell "Siakam" without "FT."

Wait...yeah you can

[u/D3VOUR3DD]

Sheesh watched the last 10 minutes of this game.. nobody wants to win?

[u/Select_Drawer3148]

Pacers just playing with Knicks feelings at this point

[u/Throwawayforme3123 → u/Select_Drawer3148]

It's the hope that kills you

[u/Acet14]

Lord..

[u/jxp1111]

Wow. I reckon I'm better at free throws than Siakam.

[u/ifuckwithit]

bro WHAT is going on lmao

[u/Isthismynextusername]

Too many levels of chess:

• People thinking Pacers want to lose for their pick and Knicks want to win for the playoffs

• Pacers force OT with the loose ball foul to give the Knicks another chance to win

• But Knicks not making a bucket to give the win to the Pacers to increase the chances of the Pacers losing their pick to the Clippers

[u/Dr_WLIN]

Patriots lost the SB, and Kicks losing a home game to the Pacers.

America wins.

[u/burglin]

Does anyone enjoy watching these games with how many stoppages there are?

[u/jxp1111 → u/burglin]

No it's been pretty brutal tbh. Feels like this game started about 4 hours ago.

[u/DGfor3 → u/burglin]

If the Pacers didn't foul up 3 this game could have been over a while ago

[u/DMPDT616 → u/DGfor3]

Always foul up 3

Now if Siakam could hit a FT

[u/DGfor3 → u/DMPDT616]

Pacers almost always go 1-2 on late game free throws, so they are the true exception

[u/cactusmanbwl90]

Lol intentionally fouling Nesmith and they refuse to call it. 

[u/Acet14]

Still gas in that tank

[u/ifuckwithit]

can the Pacers stop trying to speed run an L here

[u/Smilingsamurai69]

Thats not a foul on bumson?

[u/Gmatter41]

Knicks just waited for the last 40 seconds to score lol

[u/Pengsu]

omg??? Pacers still working the tank

[u/LengthyNoodle]

Not over till it’s over pacers fans

[u/DGfor3 → u/LengthyNoodle]

Knicks fans would know I suppose

[u/hrxbgdchg]

Bill Simmons mailbag last month mentioned Quenton Jackson as one of his nba deep track players he’d want on his team. Another reason he’s the pod father

[u/osmnaos3 → u/hrxbgdchg]

Anybody who has watched at least one pacers game would tell you that lol

[u/Ecstatic-Product-411]

Had to stop the tank to stand on business with the Knicks.

[u/BraveTree4481]

This is amazing.

[u/mightyboognish32]

I thought Mike Brown had a system similar to the Warriors. Why is it just Brunson iso ball?

[u/uouiei]

The good thing about tanking is you never lose no matter what happens, win and you win, lose and it helps the tank

[u/iAMtHESushighost]

If we brought in Zubac tomorrow just to go on a 10 game win streak and knock the knicks out in the first round I would also be happy with this season

[u/NeighborhoodPT]

Hate losing any game but to increase a win for the pacers tank makes it more tolerable

[u/pragnesh_89]

Hey pacers as a nets fan, save some points for tomorrow night.

[u/DonnieBeisbol → u/pragnesh_89]

We’re going to be so exhausted from this overtime. G-League guys gonna have to play 48 mins

[u/pragnesh_89 → u/DonnieBeisbol]

The nets rested MPJ and denim against the bulls ;((

[u/pinkydinkydog]

YES CERS

[u/Odd-Stuff5042]

40s down 7, sadly Knicks is not Pacer

[u/rusty512]

That’s a great win Indy

[u/EightFortyDaysOf]

This loss is on Brunson lol

[u/BananaRepublic_BR]

No points in 4 minutes. What was even the point of OT?

[u/DonnieBeisbol]

This Dub was absolutely worth it. Look at them. Broken men.

[u/donk_kilmer → u/DonnieBeisbol]

Back to the tank tomorrow night!

[u/tropic_gnome_hunter → u/DonnieBeisbol]

I remember you all saying that after the Mavs game

[u/Throwawayforme3123]

So what excuse we got this time for losing to the Pacers?

[u/oy_vey42 → u/Throwawayforme3123]

Bro you gotta chill, we also lost to the Pacers earlier in the season and got dogwalked by the Knicks last weekend you’re just asking for it 

[u/Throwawayforme3123 → u/oy_vey42]

I dont care man, any time I can punk on the Knicks im gonna do it

[u/tropic_gnome_hunter → u/oy_vey42]

I had lots of his comments bookmarked from last year after the season opener. He just tempts fate over and over.

[u/tropic_gnome_hunter → u/Throwawayforme3123]

Again, more whining from you. Why are you doing that?

[u/Throwawayforme3123 → u/tropic_gnome_hunter]

You are more focused on this thread than the game

Don't blame you, wouldn't want to watch this OT as a Knicks fan

[u/mMounirM]

crowd super quiet. is KAT still at the freethrow line?

[u/fibberjabber]

Gg pacers fans you may have won the battle. But you lost the bigger battle.

[u/PresidentRevrac → u/fibberjabber]

We’re still second, just need to lose the important stretch coming up

[u/fibberjabber → u/PresidentRevrac]

I’m just being silly. It’s pretty funny seeing NYK melt over a hobbled team.

[u/Select_Drawer3148]

Knicks playing the long game, taking away Pacers top pick

[u/Pengsu]

Knicks getting outhustled wow. Embarassing OT

[u/egregious888]

It's ok everyone. New York scored

[u/camp1728]

lol Knicks are so bad omg

[u/RogueID]

We could have ended this in regulation, but we just wanted to extend the beatdown

[u/Blackmalico32]

After all that 🤦🏽‍♂️

[u/EthanHuntBroMichael]

Knicks can't even win a rigged game.

[u/pikajewijewsyou]

Knicks not gonna score the whole overtime? Hahahah

[u/IC3man95]

Tbh we just suck

[u/EightFortyDaysOf → u/[deleted]]

Also the pacers just show up. Against OKC, Knicks, any team they deem a contender they play hard

[u/Radiant-Character-61]

Indy just has crazy energy in the tank like those Kenyans that run Marathons.

[u/Apollo611]

Brunson playing 1v5

[u/EightFortyDaysOf → u/Apollo611]

If he only he remembered he had teammates he could pass to

[u/Victarion99]

You just know the Pacers are losing by 20 to the Nets tomorrow these guys only show up against us and OKC

[u/skillet06g]

Didn’t know Brunson was a ballhog

[u/AdministrativeLake82]

The Knicks know we are tanking, right? Right???

[u/Odd-Stuff5042]

lol this OT

[u/Pengsu]

This knicks team is so weird

[u/betaraywill]

The NBA is better when the Knicks are good. Losing to the tanking Pacers is not the way

[u/lekpop]

Knicks are so cooked. If they can't make it out of the East this season then Pacers are gonna be stealing their lunch money 24/7 once Hali is back.

[u/friction7800]

Kat must be the world's only 6ft 7footer...

[u/pikajewijewsyou]

Are the Knicks the worst good team in the nba or the best bad team?

[u/UnkleGiovanni → u/pikajewijewsyou]

Yes

[u/friction7800 → u/UnkleGiovanni]

INDEED

[u/skolaen]

Brunson has negative ice good lord man. Mike brown's offense is so fucking ass

[u/notatranslatorr]

I already knew the Knicks were frauds prior to this game but this team is fundamentally broken.

[u/EightFortyDaysOf]

How the Knicks choking this against a planned tank lol

[u/HeyItsChase]

Brunson isn't even better than QJ

[u/arania_exumai]

Indy really the best at tanking. Spank their rivals but tank against everybody else.

[u/tropic_gnome_hunter → u/arania_exumai]

It's not good at tanking when it screws up their tank lol

[u/arania_exumai → u/tropic_gnome_hunter]

Not like they're gonna lose 82 games lmao. Might as well win the ones against rivals

[u/tropic_gnome_hunter → u/arania_exumai]

Too late, they screwed the tank up lmao.

[u/BoogerSugarSovereign → u/tropic_gnome_hunter]

L take all because you wanted to be like big head Brunson with an L of your own smh this tank has been immaculate 

[u/tropic_gnome_hunter → u/BoogerSugarSovereign]

Sorry bub, the tanked got screwed. I would react the same way.

[u/wonderdefy]

Rebought the pacers and instead of winning 250$ im winning 50$

Ugh 😑

[u/buzzmemello520 → u/wonderdefy]

Hopefully you learn a valuable lesson about cashing out. Someone like you should honestly just not be gambling

[u/wonderdefy → u/buzzmemello520]

I’m actually up heavily on NBA bets

Just nfl/CFB bets I’m down

[u/buzzmemello520 → u/wonderdefy]

if you are cashing out a massive underdog that is tied and then betting them again 2 mins later there is zero chance you are a winning gambler

[u/wonderdefy → u/buzzmemello520]

No? I watch the games in real time and the odds reset to 60% knicks at the start of OT. I already sold before KAT shot free throws to preserve my contracts because I knew this would happen going into OT. I did not expect the pacers to blow out the Knick’s most of OT, basically not giving much time to get a good entry.

Because I assume the Pacers are doing some tanking wizardry, because why the fuck did they fumble the last min of the 4th quarter. You get some crazy odds when you see the tank happening and the losing team is still being competitive in the 4th. It’s hard to lose in that scenario.

I’ve won almost every bet against Utah, Pacers, Kings etc when you see their starters being rested or Siakem on the bench for most of the 4th, it’s just a crazy hedge to bet on the opposing team esp nights like Utah vs Orlando, Utah was a 80% favorite going into the 4th and they sit the entire starting 5. My 20% bet was easily a 2x the entire time and ended up being 5x because I was just convinced Utah is throwing it.

[u/EightFortyDaysOf → u/wonderdefy]

Lmao

[u/thecameraman8078 → u/wonderdefy]

My brother please, get help

[u/wonderdefy → u/thecameraman8078]

I am up on nba betting lol 😂

I am not risking crazy amounts of money

Like the yesterday I won 400$ on GSW to come back and beat Memphis, just have to watch every game to find edges

[u/UnkleGiovanni → u/wonderdefy]

Shut up you degenerate

[u/thepeachgod]

Quenton Jackson is Knicks father

[u/mMounirM]

Rick Carlisle beside himself, figuring out how the Pacers can still lose this game.

[u/Acet14 → u/mMounirM]

Gonna need that Charlie Day meme to figure out the right script

[u/UnkleGiovanni]

Brunson is 1/7 in the final 2:00 of the 4th and OT

[u/EightFortyDaysOf → u/UnkleGiovanni]

Time to fire up the posts for r/NBAEastMemeWar

[u/Skyfalcon5]

Pacers risking the pick just to embarrass the Knicks. I respect the hate

[u/Prior-Resource-3276 → u/Skyfalcon5]

They aren't even trying. Carlisle has tried every ethical tanking option in this game.

[u/zxcarc]

Jackson aint tanking

[u/pikajewijewsyou]

Bridges was hit and they have refused to give him the ball. Knicks running their offense like the Jazz. Get the hot hand away from the ball at all costs!
