A Knicks Celts series would have been enjoyable. Oh well. Are there any Indy celebrities we can mock?
(2) New York Knicks vs (6) Indiana Pacers - 2024 EC Second Round
- Thread starter InstaFace
- Start date
Knicks have by far the best “deee-fence” chant in the NBA.
Pacers scored 130 points and shot nearly 70 percent.

I’m legit worried for the safety and health of the C’s. He's going to be out of control.
Aaron Nesmith, 19 points on 8-8 shooting in a game 7 at MSG.
Now fucking destroy him, Ime style.

Caitlin Clark.
Wait — I guess those are different states? Basically the same though, right?
Nesmith is going to be mainlining Monster Energy and watching supercuts of the underrated MMA film "Warrior" before each game.
"Warrior" >>> "The Town"
The only really bad thing about today, he was in a deep slump and this might have snapped him out of it. Shouldn't matter, but still.
Gregg Doyel just came back from suspension and is restricted to giving his bad weird basketball takes to the men's game.
schadenfreude is fun but i feel genuinely bad for knicks fans. it was a pretty good team and injuries fucking suck as a fan. as a neutral too! i would’ve liked to have seen what the full crew was capable of
Disappointing, but I just can't be too sad about it. Once OG went down I figured Indiana would come back and take the series. The injuries that came afterward just made it a certainty. Fun season and I'm already looking forward to next season.
I called him out for this on another thread and the response was as if I had said he kills puppies.
The dude is a Knick fan. It’s not a good look when it’s so obvious on national television
The whole thing where he kept mentioning the Knicks injuries while crediting the Pacers was gold too. “People will mention the Knicks injuries but the Pacers played well!!!!”
Mike….you’re the one that’s continuously mentioning the injuries
I love dogs so I am reluctant to say this but now I am curious what Breen would sound like if he was narrating while killing puppies.
This was the worst I’ve seen from him, but that’s probably because this is the closest they’ve gotten to the conference finals in 25 years.
This post ought to be pinned to the top of the Port Cellar for the next 2 weeks.
I agree with you until the end - nothing beats The Town! I know for sure that CJM has my back on this one!
I don’t disagree but just to put this out there…
Next round it would have been against the Celtics and he would have been “in his bag” more.
There’s a 0% chance anyone on this board would have been sticking up for him or talking about how it’s “cool” to see his more human side or whatever
I don’t know who Steve Ells is but I am definitely ready to make fun of Irsay, Reggie and Polian
I know the game and broadcasting were different back in the 80s but this is what always struck me when Tommy Heinsohn would be on the CBS broadcast of NBA Finals games with the Celtics playing
Of course, I’d be the first to scream FUCK YOU BREEN YOU HOMER MUTANT. I keep two sets of books as much as the next guy when it comes to sports.
Maybe just living outside the NE for a long time has made the NY-Boston stuff feel further away, but I just don't get that worked up about people from NY being a certain way anymore. The whole northeast corridor from Philly on up blends into people-in-cold-places-getting-angry-about-sports with enough miles and time between.
I love this knicks team a lot and I can't wait to see what's to come. This isn't devastating, it's more like "wtf" because of the injuries and clumsiness as a result of inconsistent rotations.
A lot more to say but this turned out to be a very meaningless series for the Knicks and the optimist in me loves that they somehow carried it to 7 and believed in themselves enough to fight through what they did. The Knicks offseason should be very interesting.
I'm gonna say this very openly to a bunch of celtics fans. You guys should stomp the fuck out of the Pacers and if you lose any more than 2 games, I'd be shocked. They are not a good team and are not well coached.

I'm a huge dog lover. The original post made me cringe. Yet I have to admit this made laugh.
Really looking forward to seeing what the Knicks do with this off season and this roster
When fully healthy, I can't help but think they'd benefit from one consolidation trade, that exchanged how deep they are in back-end starters for a strong top 6. Not sure what that would look like, beyond that fact that Bog seems the guy who Thibs is going to be the least enamored of

from the Knicks “dynasty” days. It always pains me a little when I hear it in Boston.
The problem with a quantity for quality swap is that they are relying on a couple of guys (OG, Robinson) that really cannot be relied on to stay healthy. When you've got a couple of guys like that, unless you're sending them out via trade, you're taking some real chances with your depth. Think Boston essentially doing a 4 for 2 swap this past summer, but it worked in large part because 3 of the 4 we sent out were major injury risks (and combined to miss 181 games this season). I'm looking to trade Robinson if I'm the Knicks.
Yeah, I'll admit that I haven't gone through the Knicks contracts and thought about what this might look like. But have the general impression that they did a bunch of opportunistic moves in the last 12-18 months to add talent, and now that they have a real >50 win playoff team they could stand to tweak around the edges
It also worked for Boston because they trusted PP and Kornet and Hauser to step up and develop. Thibs seems more, let's say.....reluctant to that.
That said, the Knicks have a great starting base roster, assets, and are obviously a super-attractive market. This is the summer for them to make it happen.
