***Official Pacers Playoff Thread***

Fix is in. Huge amounts of contact on that illegal screen and light contact on the blocking foul. Completely different sets of whistles already.
 
Just seems like one of those series that the away team wont win. Hopefully that changes game 7 if the Pacers hold on tonight.
 
I don't get how you can be an NBA referee and call that tech. Or maybe that's exactly why they are NBA refs
 
Nesmith easily outplayed Brunson head to head on both ends but the refs did their best to try to even it out. Loved after one of the plays he dominated him they called Nesmith for the tiniest touch foul, they are just in love with Brunson. It would have happened to any star player that landed with the Knicks the first time they got decent.

That tech at the end, that’s some serious bull$hit given how physical some of the Knicks have played all this series. Call a common foul but that’s not a tech. If you want to call those techs the Knicks should get more of them.

A sad truth about the NBA is the Lakers and the Knicks always get calls no other franchise gets. At least the Lakers do something with it sometimes.

Knicks aren’t gonna get another loose ball foul this series.
 
Hard to believe TJ wasn’t part of the rotation to start the year. He has been huge in the playoffs. Great compliment to Tyrese.
 
Game 7 is all that could've been asked for after having gone down 0-2.

I would like to add Boston to that list.

Great all around team win there for the Pacers! They have more depth than the Knicks, it seems like (to a casual fan). The Knicks will be favored in Game 7, but the Pacers can absolutely still bring it home!

The Pacers are capable of getting extremely hot and running anyone out of any gym, they just haven't been consistent enough, especially on D. The concern is always how they respond when the offense isn't coming easy. Hopefully they have worn NY down a bit and their offense explodes in game 7. They're going to need to be at least 10 points better to overcome the crowd and officials.
To me, they feel a little like the Mark Jackson Warriors. Entertaining, dangerous in a game but not in a series, loads of potential. They need their Draymond Green type player to bring some edge and toughness.
