Nba should shorten the season to 56 games so players have no excuses to sit out regular season and be able to be at full strength in the playoffs. It would be way better of a product like that. There's no reason it should be 72 cuz clearly teams arent even trying during the regular season. There was blowouts literally every game this year

The last 20 or so teams are either fighting for a spot or determining whether it’s worth it. Everything in between which you’re leaving out is his being injured or chemistry not working out.

The only reason you should ever be mad at another team for an injury if it was a dirty play which none of these injuries were for either teams. At the beginning of the year we thought just making the playoffs was good enough, let alone getting to the Semis and having a legit shot at the ECF now. No big names EVER want to come to Indiana, we dont have the luxury of the big cap spaces like NY, LA, or other teams, we finally have a group of guys who want to be here and play together and just play exciting, fun, hard nosed basketball. As a state thats crazy for hoops thats all we ever want in our teams is a shot ever year, for other fan bases to put asterisks next to something while its happening is insane. You do that afterwards and years later on reflections, just let each team enjoy the moment.

I feel like the big thing people sre missing when arguing that the Pacers beat injured teams is: Why arent the Pacers injured? Is it only luck? Tyrese Haliburton was iniured for a good chunk of the season, Benedict Mathurin has been out for the season since before the playoffs began. The Pacers had some iniures throughout the season too. The Pacers are just one of the deepest teams in the NBA. The entire season, their bench has outscored every other teams bench by double digits and often by 20 or 30. When youre team is deep, you can afford to rest your starters to help them recover and avoid injury. The Pacers dont need Tyrese and Siakim to play 40 minutes a game to win. The Bucks and the Knicks need their guys to play entire games, hence why they keep getting hurt. If anything, the Knicks were insanely lucky that they could push a guy like Brunson so insanely hard and hes just now breaking down.

[@doms5755]

Dawg nobody cares. Pacers are a first round exit playing against healthy teams. Bucks with Giannis and dame beat them. Healthy knicks beat them.

I don’t know what’s crazier, Hawks getting number one pick or the Knicks getting absolutely obliterated

[@cleanbowled1767]

Winning a championship in any major sport is a challenging task and heavily dependent on which players are fit as well as which are unfit or unavailable for service. There plenty of time to recover in the regular season compared to the playoffs.

They’re polar opposite teams in pace, whoever controls the game to how fast they want it will win the series

[@calebpetersen1280]

Kenny thanks for the rant on the end the Twitter discourse has been disgusting. 😭

[@JoeBro915]

It’s good to acknowledge that while also recognizing that this Pacer team is not one to be taken seriously. Fortunately they play in the Eastern Conference so they’ll still be in the playoffs next season but it is clear that this is not an ECF worthy squad

[@acedatninja23]

Aye fake Knicks fans do y'all still think we don't need Randle? Stupid fans who don't know basketball smh

[@lildripnation3462]

randle og and brunson with dontae would smack them

[@cjdagoat902]

In the first half the pacers were leading by so much both teams played their bench for the rest of the game I have the Knicks winning so I was shocked to see that I hope the Knicks get it together

[@michalkoutny1752]

Knicks all banged up bc Thibs is crazy with the rotations.

[@AMan_629]

I hate the way fans started talking. These dudes on Twitter immediately went to “Knicks suck” “Brunson is a fraud” “1st 2 games were fluke wins”. I think the Knicks punted the game at the beginning of the 2nd Q. The hustle and effort you expect of the Knicks wasn’t there. Both Harts weren’t crashing to the glass after the 1st. The effort to pursue loose balls was nonexistent. Lazy on defensive rotations. Looked like a team that was willing to fight if given a chance but the pacers shot 70 50 90 in the 1st half and were hustling the hardest they have in this series. Just a great game from them. Closed the door on a roster they should beat 10/10 times. I just don’t see this narrative that the Knicks just suck or whatever. It’s lazy and stupid

[@chill6789]

bruh i don't think you can blame thibs for playing the starters a lot of mins that's causing injuries look at past eras in the league when players played 82 games had to play back to back & were averaging about 40 mins a game & none of them got seriously injured this eras players are just soft

[@ocularjelly]

I don't get the hate. Especially from Bucks fans. Pacers had the Bucks number all season, even with Giannis. Not saying the playoff series would've still went in the Pacers favor, but it wouldn't have been a given for the Bucks to win.

[@vietnam1978]

We knew the series would be over after game 2. Thibs kills players

[@papergummy8074]

I watched ESPN, NBATV, and TNT after the game. NONE of them devoted more than 15 seconds to the Pacers. S/o Kenny for breaking down their performance better than billion dollar sports media organizations

I'll be honest, I forgot Julius Randle was on the knicks until you mentioned he was injured

[@jonahuhrich5941]

Knicks fans criticizing Pacers fans/players being happy after a win since "the Pacers are only winning because Brunson is playing injured" is pretty funny seeing how happy these same Knicks fans were after beating a team whose best player was playing on a bum knee and one functioning eye.
