As a casual fan of small-market teams I have to say I was disgusted by the performance of the commentators of the game; they talked incessantly about the Knicks, which showed their bias. Indy shot 67% - the highest percentage in NBA playoff history - how about giving them some friggin' respect??? Big market fans live in their bubbles and show their stupidity to the nation.

Knicks fans getting the chance to give the players a standing ovation for the season they gave us fans was great. People hate on the Knicks but it was just 5yrs ago when ESPN trolled them during the draft when they put up the team needs as (EVERYTHING)
Everyone talking about injuries for the knicks but nobody talking about the Pacers shooting 67% for the whole game and scoring 130 points. They broke the record for highest shooting % in a playoff game since the Celtics in 1990 and y’all want to cry about injuries. Go complain to Thibs, of course there’s going to be injuries when your starting 5 never comes out of the game.
