It's all about OG. Since acquiring him in the trade the Knicks are 26-5 with him and 13-16 without him.
Y'all act like y'all don't need randle like he wasn't the first piece that made new York relevant
Brunson w no OG is like Steph w no Draymond, no Iguodala...doesn't really work as well. The Knicks look like a fringe playoff team right now, a #8 or 9...not the #2 seed.
@@kennethko1534WE LOST TWO GAMES RELAX
Definitely OG is so important to this team…but we’re also dealing with an injured Brunson our best player
@@barkleysmall2363haiburton twisted his ankle in game 3 and a sore back and he ain’t winning bout nothin he just wanna to go out and play the game he loves
Finally somebody asked Shannon bout those country references 😂😂 i swear southern ppl can talk talk
Shannon the best addition to ever happen to ESPN. 😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@jamesjefferson3809Naw Stuart Scott was the greatest addition in ESPN history!
Bruh that took me out 😂😂
Club Shay Shay: “ you was down 43 one point”
Unc knew what he was doing 😂
Thibs "you guys start you guys finish" 😂
😂😂😂😂
To Thibs The "next man up" is the same guy
😂😂
Thibs reminds me of the Russian guy in Rocky. “If they die..they die”
Wilt Chamberlain minutes
ESPN always got full Knicks analysts on the shows 😂
lol yeah it’s weird
They been on the show and been Knicks fans lmao keep crying in poverty franchise
Why does it matter pacers don't need anyone to speak for them besides themselves
It's probably the only sports channel with Knicks fan analysts. FS1 is full of Knicks haters and doubters. Even TNT (Shaq and Chuck) don't like the Knicks.
And TNT always got full anti-Knicks analysts, so ?
Pacers have the depth and fresher legs. Knicks gotta respond.
Yes we sending the nxt man up to play. The garden crowd 👊🏼
@@noxnyc23 the next man up: JERICHO SIMS hahahahahahahahaha
@@alexnguyen1284😂😭😭
Jericho Sims will save us! (fml)
The Pacers got lucky with the teams they went up against this postseason. They would have been destroyed with either team healthy and will be destroyed if they make it to the ECF.
"Thibs cut his rotation to five" 😂
😂
It’s not over but the Knicks are clearly gassed and hurting.. if they lose it was a great season anyway and we just gotta build for the future
It will be the same story if you have Thibs as coach. He'll run the players to the ground and get then injured again. Sack him asap
@@ghsense2626 You are an idiot who listens to the media thubs didnt run anyone into the ground nobody on the knicks played top 10 mins in the entire league thibs literally has no one to play you dont know what you talking about
When Julius Randle is back next year, the Knicks are going to be the biggest unstoppable force the league has seen in years.
Thibs coaching style never made sense to me. Wore D. Rose out during Chicago days.
lol thibs going to ruin every player in the Knicks organization
I'm shocked that Shannan left that little room he always in and he's in New York City for the first time😂😮
Stephen A: the unofficial mascot of the New York Knicks.
That would be spike lee 😂

& what do you call today? 😂
The ghost of Reggie haunting the Knicks 😈
Nahhhhh it's N.Y. coach that's hurting the team dude - not Reggie Miller lmfao.
Ghost of nothing. Pacers got dog-walked right back to Indy.
@@fredyllanos8972 😂🤣 what u saying now buddy
Zero talk about how well the Pacers played. The Pacers put the pedal to the metal and made them call it quits in the 3rd quarter.
They played great but the Knicks are just gassed lol
How good they played will always come with the huge asterisk that the Knicks are down four guys plus Brunson who is playing through an obvious injury. So the Pacers played well against a 2nd unit Knicks squad pretty much. So it doesn’t matter.
They only played well in game 4 lol
@@LatinLegacyNY Knicks fans were talking all that jazz up 2-0, still talking 2-1 and then you get gun smoked and it's all about the injuries now. The Pacers are missing their best bench player plus Haliburton is playing hurt, Embid played on one leg.
@@remy12 Did you not see OG go down game 2 idiot? He was shutting down pascal and stfu about haliburton being hurt he literally dunked it yesteday he just rolled an ankle shut up brunson was avering 40 on yall before he got hurt so yes this is all about injures or yall would have been swept be real if Milwaukee would have beat the pacers. You really comparing a bench player who got hurt months ago like the knicks arent missing an all star n one of the best 3 n D in the league. You literally played a team missing 2 all stars dont even talk about embiid being injured lol while shooting more ft then an entire knick team
These idiots forgot Thibs is the reason Randle is hurt. Should’ve never been playing the 4th quarter of a blowout.
They were up 15 with 5 minutes left to go. Do you know how fast a 15 point lead can crumble? A few threes and the game is close.
Shannon Sharpe the best thing smokin on ESPN.
Maybe all the injuries have finally caught up with them. They are still standing essentially playing with only seven guys, which is a tremendous achievement. Regardless of what happens in the rest of the series, I'm proud of this team and I think Knicks fan should be.
Stephen A.
Keep that same energy when you trolling the Cowboys. As you do about your knicks. 😂😂
Who is laughing now.
The Pacers lit the Knicks up like how those wise guys did Sonny on the Godfather…The Mothers Day Massacre 🪦 💐
Stephen A gets paid to run his mouth…he literally doesn’t know anything about the game.
Shanon is good 😂😂😩
That was a bad sign for my Knicks the injuries starting to catch up and they looked tired
Poor Molly, feel like she’s a child sitting at the grown up’s table.
She wants to say something so bad 😂
Stephan A "Whatever can go wrong Will go wrong" 😂
Since Stephen A Smith said about Wolves leading 2-0 against Nuggets and he said this series its over
since then
Nuggets 2-0
Pacers 2-0
Knicks 0-2
Wolves 0-2
Stephen A Smith is a definition of bad jinx.. thank you stephen a
That’s true and every time he compares a current player to a legend, that current player don’t win in the playoffs (Devin Booker, Micah Parsons, and lately Anthony Edwards
He always does this😂 soon as he does this I already know go with the other team
Kendrick Perkins too
Don’t Forget
Mavericks: 2-1
SAS said OKC meeting Minnesota was inevitable
@@ChillestSkeleton yep
It's crazy how many Knicks players got injured they went from having some of the best depth in the league to having almost no depth at all
I'm worried for the Knicks and Minnesota 🤔
2:00 for Shannon and 3:30 for SAS.
Knick fans were chanting for Boston game 2 of the first round. Lmao
Its as if as since then they have lost 3 players in rotation. I mean how stupid are you? just delete your comment
Cavs fans were doing same thing game 7 verse Orlando and Donavan Mitchell had to tell them to chill 😆
I think Shannon has become an outstanding addition to the show. He's definitely brought a spark.
Colin Cowherd called the Pacers "frauds and posers" last week which was a ridiculous and disrespectful thing to say.
Colin Cowherd is a fraud
He’s also the worst sports personality on air
It’s Colin Cowherd. His opinions are automatically disregarded based on his track record of spewing nonsense. Everyone knows this.
They are frauds to be honest they are beating injury depleted rosters
Cowherd talks a lot of B.S. and is wrong the majority of the time
We have a better chance of seeing Stephen A. celebrate a Cowboys victory than we do of seeing the Knicks pull this series out.
You ain’t neva seen a contest like dat? 😂😂😂
This is what Thibs has done his whole coaching career Josh Hart is gassed even when they were healthy Hart was still playing 43+ minutes
Facts it’s something mentally wrong with thibs
If anything, this just shows how much the players don’t want it. They should be conditioned well enough to play 48 mins per game. They get paid tens of millions of dollars to do so.
@@dorya.2189 Yeah they get paid way too much too early
Josh Hart is telling Thibs he is good to go. Hart has come out and said this. He will try to sit Josh out, and he will tell Thibs he is not sitting.
Deadpool wins that 1 legged asskicking contest!
No mention of Bennedict Mathurin being hurt should tell you everything about this segment…
Mathurin ain't as important as missing an All-Defense wing and an All-NBA Power Forward, let's be real.
are you seriously comparing an injured 6th man to two injured stars, two of the best defenders in the entire NBA and a 20 PPG scorer being injured
Use your brain
@@khalilsmalling5884 you obviously haven’t watched mathurin play 💀
@@mbalu21he average 14 points on 44 percent shooting omg y’all need him so bad😭relax
Naptown we in here!
Credit to the Knicks for fighting hard through injuries and depleted depth, but the reason I said that the Pacers could make this a 7 game series, was just that, as Shannon said, the bench players for Indiana has been more productive than the Knicks and they’re more healthier than New York right now, and I believe that (provided the Knicks don’t win tomorrow or Wednesday) the Pacers could win possibly in 6 games.
Hey! The Pacers just won 2 games this weekend! Played some good defense. But let's keep talking about how the Knicks can still win this series.... These jokers give the Pacers NO CREDIT, NO LOVE. And y'all wonder why Carlisle said what he did about small market teams...
The Knicks were irrelevant for a decade and then became the two seed in the conference and they still didn’t give us any respect so stop complaining
Be real with yourself if knicks were goin to sweep these fools
@@noemamba9590 yeah ok. Even with Hali only scoring 6 in game 1, the Knicks and the refs stole game one with those awful calls. Be real with yourself, Pacers should be up 3-1.
F*ck small market teams. 😂 Nobody wants to see some Bumblefuck team from Indiana win titles. Lol
@@fricangeekin Lmao there was no refs in game 1 yall lost cause halli was trash game 1 and yall got more calls in indy cause coach was crying be real with yourself 79 missed calls in favor of the knicks? Lmao pacers barely beat a hurt bucks team with OG in the game should be 4-1 knicks
Watching this in hindsight is hysterical
Loving the haircut
oh nah if this was the celtics, the media would’ve been dragging them for 7 days and 7 nights. everyone would’ve been saying their season was over 😭
Unc got all the classic sayings
Toronto should have demanded Toppin in that siakam trade…smh
Ppl forgetting knocked got bailed out by the ref in game 1. Pacers should be 3-1 and is the better team.
They were Not thr better team. Beating a team with their 2nd best scorer out and OG out and their best rebounder and their 6th man out. Does not make you the better team. Pacers have gotten lucky all playoffs. Playing with injured riddle teams.
@@jessygarci so therefore the better team. Also Haliburton is the best player between the two teams. And Knicks weren't lucky against the Sixers who were also playing injured
Refs gave the Knicks game 1 yea, not just the kicked ball… couldn’t breathe near Brunson without a foul
@@jessygarciCan you tell me the historical series where the NBA put a stop to the play until both teams were healthy? Knicks fans act as though they’re the first team to get injured in the post season
6-man rotation in playoffs is crazy
Molly quiet ?! That’s different lol
SAS must have given her the business behind close doors😂😂😂😂😂
I don't know why teams ain't signing KZ Okpala but I think he's the best defender that ain't sign to a team. Knicks should look to sign him, if you could, for the reminder of this post season or this upcoming season.
I was so mad when they traded Obi. Without Julius Randle out he would’ve provided the team with a different type of energy. His in between the leg dunk ain’t the same in Indy. It hit different
It was looking like a all time team vs a team of high schoolers about to get drafted
Thibs running the Knicks into the ground just like he did the Bulls
Probably part of the reason he was voted one of the coaches player wanna play for the least
He has to tho
Thibs needs to be sacked if NY have a chance in the future. He run the players through the ground
This time, it’s not his fault. It’s a result of multiple injuries.
ohhh molly 🤤
It’s over pacers in six
Unc is the real deal
As a die hard Knicks fan. I do admire the toughness and grit. But I do believe the lack of the depth and heavy minutes are eventually take it's toll. Pacers in 6.
Your no knicks fan
@@laos_855 I'm a realistic Knicks fan
All the pacers did was protect home court the playoffs don’t really start until now it’s even let’s go Knicks !!
We gave up all the depth we had for OG now it’s blowing up on our faces. Game 3 Knicks had that. Up 9 with less than 4.
How the turntables
In the first quarter the coach tibs took way too long to call a timeout he let the lead balloon too much
Overachieved in my book. Went out like soldiers win, lose or draw. Rather they lose series than lose Brunson. That small man can't do it by himself. Not mad. Wear& tear
The Knicks need to fire Thibs at the end of this season. He runs his teams into the ground. Hes going to ruin Brunson and O.G"s careers.
It’s 2-2 why would it be over
Why does espn refuse to talk about the mavs thunder series?
let's talk about how the media just had a blowout on how they thought things would go over the weekend 😅
Its an unfortunate situation. A full healthy roster of Brunson, DiVincenzo, OG, Randle and Robinson with McBride, Bogey, Hart, Precious and Hartenstein coming off the bench, the Knicks can beat ANYBODY in the East.
With that Roster the Pacers would of gotten swept and possibly Philly Swept too.
Lmao no. Stop crying about injuries. Literally philly had a one legged joel embid and almost beat yall. Every team has injuries. Pacers are missing matherin their starting guard who was gettin buckets. Nobody on the pacers is crying about who they are missing. The knicks are just top heavy with no depth. So thats what happens when you have no depth starters run too much minutes and get hurt and tired. Thats the team.
@@BeatMoneyDPHe put Randle in armbar like rousey and ripped it oit the socket and slammed robinson on the ground like the undertaker but that is okay though right?
Knicks are banged up I’d be suprised they win
Go Knicks!
You’ve got this!
OG to Achiuwa at PF is just too much of a drop. I would suggest starting Deuce, like what they did in the regular season.
I feel like that 230pm start could have contributed to the early fatigue. Especially after that game 3 thriller. Plus they on the road..but no excuses. It’s back to the garden
It’s “they’re”
We all know what he meant. But you being captain obvious wanna get on the comments to be weird. Smh. Weirdo. Join the comments for the actual discussions being talked about, not to be a weirdo please. @98keefy
If we somehow win tonight, we might win this in 7..
Lol reminds me off when ice trea sent the Knicks on 😭😭vacation
Nah, its a wrap for the Knicks. GG, yall battled but you just had too many fallen soldiers.
Injuries is the knicks problem tough luck🇹🇹
If player's are starting to get a bit fatigue, is it possible can we start to see Jacob Topping, Daquan jeffries, Washington Jr. Miles McBride When our guys need to have a little rest.
We can win this series.
IT'S OVER FOR NYK
🗽🟠🔵 We need to pick up Bridges, Wall, Dwight Howard, or Boogie in the off season. In addition to Thibs using the bench more. 🟠🔵🗽 #Knicks
Stephanie A is real credit to her race
The Nuggets are 0-2 at home in the playoffs.
The Wolves are 0-2 at home in the playoffs.
The Knicks lost a 2-0 lead against the Pacers.
Why are the Celtics the only team that gets slandered on national TV?
Nuggets is 2-2 at home, Minnesota Timberwolves also. Celtics gets slandered because they're in a easier conf and expected to get to the NBA finals without sweat
“There's winning, and then there's misery.” - Pat Riley
I take pleasure in Stephen A.'s misery.
Injuries have reduced the Knicks to playing 4 guard lineups, they're toast if it continues
If the knicks did to the pacers what the pacers did to them they would be sitting there asking if the knicks are going to go to the finals😂 its funny how the pacers were the team in the in-season tourney championship( in which they beat the celtics, sixers, with a HEALTHY embid and bucks WITH Giannis and Dame) to get there,the pacers have a historically good offense and you see what happens if they combine that with defense. Yet there is not one person working on espn putting any respect on the pacers names
Big mistake to trade Toppin. I knew it would come back to haunt them.
Mother’s Day massacre!
Why Shanon not there everyday I don’t understand
He’s on First Take for Mondays and Tuesdays
@@shakiemjeanjoseph428 yea clearly I said why he’s not everyday
Not everyone is watching every team closely game after game so I get how narratives start and it’s fun to just parrot “Thibs being Thibs” but injuries caused the heavy minutes for the Knicks this year, not the other way around
I’ve been watching and it’s thibs being thibs.. he has been like this at every stop he’s been. There’s a reason he was voted the coach nobody wants to play for. They said even his practices be over the top during the season
Sharpe sounds like Mush Mouth from Fat Albert
The curse of Tom thibodeau he runs his teams into the ground and does at least use a 8 man lineup in the playoffs
Molly: did the Knicks lost or the Pacers won this one?
we will know 5 minutes into game 5 if the series is over or not.
Bad sign for Knicks - No Julius Randle and relying on Brunson
Sas they don’t have bodies cause thibs runs them into the ground
What happened to the Nova knicks?
Im wondering if SAS takes a breath when he talks… I’m a huge Knick fan and no I don’t agree the Knicks starting 5 is better than the pacers… personally I think Boston vs pacers would be a more delightful conference finals to watch. The Knicks are gassed
Without OG Knicks don't have enough
I understand the idea of Thibs. Professional athletes have to be able to play an entire game if necessary. It's your job to be in the best shape you can be in. 48 minutes ain't 12 hrs in a coal mine, but they are tired. The issue is they don't have any other options. This is pretty much it.
They better win game 5
The knicks curse is starting.
It's the people giving them the Evil eye since 99. It never fails.
IT AIN’T OVER, it ain’t over
Knick can't keep up with the pacers offense without og .
