New York Knicks (2) vs Indiana Pacers (6) - 2024 EC Second Round

[PedroKsBambino]

Bam Adebayo would neverhave that happen to him

Also, not at all clear that was an illegal screen. It was far more of a dive and a technical than an illegal screen, frankly

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

You cannot call that. Terrible

 

[slamminsammya]

that is nuts lol

 

[Just a bit outside]

What a flop! Can’t believe they called that.

 

[themuddychicken]

Jesus Christ. The NBA is a joke.

 

[Auger34]

if that’s a foul, Adebayo may as well retire

 

[OnWisc]

Well, this was a fun game. Thanks refs.

 

[Murderer's Crow]

All I'll say is its nice to finally be on the receiving end of a nice whistle after the fucking sixers series.

 

[RorschachsMask]

This is pretty egregious lol.

 

[Remagellan]

He was moving into him when he picked him.

 

[MyDaughterLovesTomGordon]

Flopperooo

 

[ragnarok725]

They're not going to overturn because he technically was moving a tiny bit

But Bam sets that screen 50 times a game minimum. What an insane call at that time.

 

[Ed Hillel]

That wasn’t that UConn play. This was so ticky tack

 

[Deathofthebambino]

That is absolutely criminal shit

 

[slamminsammya]

this league kills fun with bad officiating more than any other sport

 

[JCizzle]

Didn’t folks think Zarba and this crew were in the bag for the Knicks lol

 

[Captaincoop]

Hard to decide what's a bigger disgrace, the officials or Stan Van Gundy.

 

[TrapperAB]

Pacers have six guys in double figures.

Haliburton is not one of them.

 

[bankshot1]

Bam is laffing his ass off

 

[thebutlerdidit]

it was a nice basketball game we had once

 

[Remagellan]

All I'll say is its nice to finally be on the receiving end of a nice whistle after the fucking sixers series.

Um, if Maxey got the same whistle Brunson did, the Sixers would be playing tonight.

 

[PC Drunken Friar]

This is fucking ridiculous

 

[radsoxfan]

I didnt even hear the explanation but if you get knocked back and your foot moves, thats not a "moving screen"

 

[Ed Hillel]

Jesus fucking Christ

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Numbskull

 

[Tudor Fever]

They must really want the Knicks to win this series.

 

[dhellers]

yet another reason to hate the knicks

 

[Lose Remerswaal]

Numbskull

True

 

[jmcc5400]

What a travesty

 

[PedroKsBambino]

Didn’t folks think Zarba and this crew were in the bag for the Knicks lol

The primary thing with Zarba over time is that he loves to be on camera.

So, he's right on point tonight

 

[Lose Remerswaal]

Now THAT’s a foul

 

[shoosh77]

They're not going to overturn because he technically was moving a tiny bit

But Bam sets that screen 50 times a game minimum. What an insane call at that time.

Bam sets that screen and then leans out into the opposing player or shoots his hip/leg into him too all game long.

 

[slamminsammya]

the last minute was just a travesty

 

[Helmet Head]

Brunson is a major flop artist.

 

[Murderer's Crow]

This is the Knicks. They fight and fight and fight, even when they're not playing well. Nova scored 92 of the 121 points on a quick look at the box score.

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

Halliburton lol.

 

[Helmet Head]

the last minute was just a travesty

Disgrace to the sport of basketball

 

[lovegtm]

Didn’t folks think Zarba and this crew were in the bag for the Knicks lol

The idea was that they were in the bag for Indy, which was based on....strained evidence.

 

[lars10]

What a flop! Can’t believe they called that.

Yeah.. for a player that was calling out other players for flopping.. and who has a team with Brunson on it .. DiVicenzo sure flopped the hell out of that play.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Josh Hart going to run the high line after this

 

[Cellar-Door]

How far back do we have to go to find a game where a team got more egregiously screwed in the playoffs than this? I mean, single calls sure, but like 4 or 5 calls all just really really indefensible all benefitting one team

 

[slamminsammya]

what is wrong with haliburton

 

[MyDaughterLovesTomGordon]

Knicks really shouldn’t score 39 points in a quarter…

 

[Ed Hillel]

Highway robbery of Pacers and NBA fans.

 

[PedroKsBambino]

I didnt even hear the explanation but if you get knocked back and your foot moves, thats not a "moving screen"

They said the screen didn't give the defender a chance to avoid it. That is the rule, though I don't think I have ever seen it applied as it was on that call. Put aside there's 10 seconds left----that is NEVER what causes that call in the NBA.

I don't even think the replay supports the call, frankly.

The Knicks got what, three obviously wrong calls in their favor and the Pacers one in the last two minutes - and they may have missed a kick (only question is whether it was intentional contact) benefitting Indiana too

Nice job, Zarba - you managed to maximize your airtime even if you made it impossible to determine who would have won the game on the merits!

 

[bankshot1]

Not the first time the yokels got flim flammed in the big city.

 

[lovegtm]

what is wrong with haliburton

He's not good anymore, and has not been since January. It's probably residual effect of coming back too soon from injury, but it's been awhile now, and he's been bad. Would be the 6th or 7th best player on Boston.

 

[snowmanny]

Knicks are a tough team, and tough to put away. But there was some bullshit in there that's for sure.

 

[JCizzle]

The idea was that they were in the bag for Indy, which was based on....strained evidence.

Shoot yes, meant to type Indy

 

[OnWisc]

Well, a fun game until the final couple minutes. One nice thing about routing the Heat is that the refs never had a chance to determine the outcome of a C’s game, but you know it’s coming at some point.
