Knicks are lucky to have Perk. Shout out to the governor!
OG vs Pascal Siakim. Shoutout to those RAPTORS CHAMPIONS!!!
OG missed the entire playoffs that year 😅
@@berhanwar still got a ring 😂
@@iAztrend
Jeremy Lin who never saw the floor got a ring
Shoutout to the African Lions in the NBA.
Og locking him up.
His Level of his support for his so called team the Knicks changes every 24 hrs.
that's why the Knicks fans don't claim him .. he's supposed to be their biggest supporter and say they goin all the way to the finals, whether it happens or not.. gotta ride with your team
@@DynastyIconexactly
@@DynastyIconoh you want him to be a delusional fan like most people are to begin with but because he's Stephen A Smith you want him to say things he doesn't believe 😂 you got delusional fans and you got realist who knows where their teams are and won't just spew out BS.
@@ZelGoesHard delusional to think the 2 seed beats the 6 seed? Especially when the 6 seed has the worst defense in the league? Stephen is a fake fan because he doesn’t watch the Knicks games. He didn’t know IHart till right before the playoffs. Knicks in 5. Knick fans, players and front office all hate him…
@@dellcharles5750 no you misunderstood what I was saying I actually got Knicks winning in 7, BUT I understand somebody not fully believing in the Knicks a fan would / should know slightly more about the team than someone who isn't a fan, and if that fan is nervous about the series or lacks confidence that shouldn't be a knock against them. And how does he not watch the Knicks when he's been at a handful of games this season and covered them on the network when they played on ESPN/ABC I'm pretty sure he watches the Knicks that's just something yall ran with. I had mentioned Josh Hart thinking you were talking about him but I see now you're talking about Hartenstein.
Message to ESPN...Knicks Nation does not care what SAS says...
Stephen A be selling tickets
@@michaelscott9081 maybe to fake Knicks fans...
@@jacinto-eh7oq u care and u will continue to click on and watch and comment on the next video that has ny Knicks and SAS in Title of video
I hate his gibberish but you gotta know it is his job to spit out any dumb ridiculous words to get attentions
@@population-_-420 I do care about my Knicks but I try to minimize my clicks involving SAS...I just dropped into this one to leave my comment...
SAS: everybody is sleeping on the pacers
Mike wilbon: I don’t know who’s sleeping on Indiana
Perk: ALLOW ME TO INTRODUCE MYSELF
We New Yorkers are riding with Big PERK we got Pitbulls and Rottweilers
Tf? F big perc
@@LikeLikeLikeLikeLi yeah nobody in their right mind wants to 'ride' with Big Berk.
@@RD-zx6py exactly. Tf
Perk got my pass for president of the city
@@joshualee5282 you’re a random RUclips subscriber (your pass is meaningless)
as a knicks fan, im NOT sleepin on the pacer either. 7 man rotation is crazy, at least 1 more person could be on the rotation
Good call.
Bogdanovic and Randle are difficult to replace.
If that’s the case we already lost.
Randle makes us worse lol
@@mewchuking8639 I it's love/hate. 24 pts/ 10 rebounds avg per game by Randle are big numbers. Bogdanovic can shoot the lights out. We will miss them if we lose.
I remember in the early nineties watching pacers and Knicks trying to kill each other , classic, I can't even remember who won the championship that year but I remember that playoff series , Reggie Miller, John starks oh my God I'm having flashbacks 😂
If this series goes on the same tone as their rivalry in the 90s it's gonna be so much fun. Cause this is another series that can go either way for both teams.
The scary thing for NY is that Tyrese Halliburton is due. This is like the polar opposites playing against each other. If the Pacers control the game the Knicks are done. The pacers can run them boys off the court if the Knicks aren’t careful. The Knicks better slow the game down and lock them down on defense. The Knicks defense will win them this series. Knicks in 6.
I agree but Halliburton has fallen of a cliff post all star scoring wise
He is so overrated
@user-vv6ot8dn8h Scoring wise maybe. But he still runs the floor as well as any point guard in the league, he hustles, he gets rebounds, he's a leader.. he's excellent.
@@chrisssmith92How so?
@@user-vv6ot8dn8h Thats why "he's due" for a better scoring stretch and this could be the perfect time when considering he's going head-to-head against Brunson
Bench points are crucial for the knicks
McBride and Robinson?
@@user-er3ri6sc3j Thibs need to give Achiuwa and Burks some minutes 😂
@@i2Craftyy Prescious yes. Burke not sure.
@@user-er3ri6sc3j our team will run out of gas if our 3 guards play 45 plus mins a night he needs to at least get some minutes
@@i2Craftyy But they are still young.
Forgot Pascal vs OG will be something to watch
Raptors’ Champs!
Tf? You must be from Africa
Pascal is going off.
@@LikeLikeLikeLikeLihuh
not really...siakam is going to get clamped easily.
Perk been right all year about the Knicks so far
The governor!
Kendrick is right, the Pacers haven't faced this level of defense yet and they aren't ready for it. Also, KP is an honorary New Yorker because of how real he is, can't say the same for SAS
They been playing this level all year and have won or have had close games Minnesota dallas celtics thunder bucks and beat the knicks earlier in the season i think they gonna win this series in 7 gonna be exciting and even if the knicks win im not mad i love yalls team-pacers fan
Knicks haven’t played this level of offense. The pacers offense is far ahead of the Sixers offense and the Sixers still gave yall problems. Knicks had to stress about games with Embiid dealing with a knee injury and Bell’s palsy. Pacers have so many more offensive weapons and the best second unit in the league.
@@owenmartin213early knicks is completely different team to now
The only thing real about Kendrick is he is real dumb.
@@owenmartin213 beat the Knicks before OG…
Clearly none of you have realized that the Pacers pace dropped in the playoffs. The playoffs is not the regular season. And they struggled with a short handed Bucks.
What games you been watching?
@@moulayediallo7747 If you not gonna tell me what I said you have issue with, what was the point
Correct
how is winning a series 4-1 struggling?
Struggling? They blew them out 3 out of the 4 wins
not sleeping on the Pacers but Go NY GO
Amen
Perk is great representing new-york Knicks
Pacers Offense is no joke, Knicks offense gotta come to play.
They were vulnerable in game 1 in the 1st round against the bucks
SAS rite to be nervous the Pacers ain’t no joke
Perk really just needs to say he doesn’t watch the pacers. He picked the bucks in 5. Granted the Knicks will probably win, it’s just apparent Perk only watches big market teams lol
I mean it would’ve been bucks in 5 if Gianni’s and dame weren’t injured… lmaoooo
@@kevinvelez3582 Dame was healthy and Bucks went 1-3 with Dame. They literally played better without Dame.
@@kevinvelez3582and we already knew Giannis was out for the whole 1st round so picking Bucks in 5 was wild
Indy in 7
You can hear the passion in my boy Stephen a smith voice about his Knicks 💪🏾
No one is sleeping on the pacers their a good team should be a fun series let’s go Knicks
"i would let u smell my cologne" 😂
how can stephen a be like “conference finals” all season, but now he’s taking it back and being cautious lol
tibs and josh hart is a straight up dangerous combo tibs gonna have that man jumping for rebounds 48 minutes a game until his knees explode
Pacers are a deep team, that’s gonna be a problem for 7-man Thibs
Knicks not worried about fast pace pacers. Knicks will continue to take care of business. Experience, defense, rebounding and talent is what the Knicks have. NYK let’s goooo!
The ONLY advantage the Pacers have in this matchup is the fact that they can go 12-deep in the rotation and still find a way to generate offense with any lineup because of Rick Carlisle. This is coming from a diehard pacers fan. I want to make it known that I EXPECT the Knicks to win this series in 6. Pacers are playing with absolutely nothing to lose because they've way surpassed expectations by even making it to the playoffs and the into the second round. The Knicks aren't in the hot seat either because they have a great core to build around especially with Randle getting healthy and returning to the lineup next season (maybe). Knicks are an awesome team that I wouldn't mind rooting for if they make it to the conference finals. GL, Knicks! Go Pacers!
So we suppose to listen to Screaming A Smith who never played in the nba and avg 1.8 ppg in college 😂😂😂😂😂😂
People I dont listen to and see them in a video, I wouldn't even click on the video. But hey that's just me...
Or listen to you?
@@konczs that’s cap
@@ShowtimeThaRaptor Cap? What are you 15?
Stephen A ain’t trying to get gassed up
Quit the music lol
What was the name of the song in the beginning??? Help pls
Don’t worry too much , the knocks are about to impress everyone and win it all man !!! I feel it.
The Knicks should not sleep on the Pacers because of the pace on which they play presents certain challenges but, with that being said I like the Knicks in this series. The Knicks are one the best defensive teams in these playoffs. They rank high and both blocks and, rebounds. I like the defenders they have OG Anunoby, Miles McBride, Isiah Hartenstein, Mitchell Robinson, Josh Hart etc. Also I like Jalen Brunson's in this series a lot. I believe he will have some opportunities to attack. Overall the Knicks to me are the more physical team. If I was the Knicks I would expand their rotation by adding Precious Achiuwa. I have the Knicks winning this series.
We Are with Perk!!!
We love you Perk
Go Pacers !!
Everyone saying Hali has fallen off has clearly not been watching the games.. he isn't scoring as much since his hamstring is still giving him issues, but he runs the floor as well as any pg in the league and hustles during every play. Anyone sleeping on Hali and the Pacers have not watched them play.
😂😂😂 hamstring excuses for a whole season is crazy bro .. he just not a great scorer
@TruthSpeaker4 It wasn't a whole season. He averaged 20+ points a game before the all star break.
@@TruthSpeaker4do you remember what happened to harden after his hamstring injury??? Hamstring injuries can linger for 12-18 months
@@WesleyNiman hamstring has nothing to do with him bricking 3’s he has just regressed bro … Knicks in 4 😎
@@TruthSpeaker4 it literally has everything to do with it. When you shoot, you are mainly using your legs. He also is shooting significantly less step back 3s off his left leg. His burst is also a lot slower
Wassup with Wilbon, he doesn't sound the same....under the weather? Something seems off, hope you're okay brotha!
I noticed that too.
SAS just doesn’t want to jinx it - smart move 😂
Perk bout to single handedly win Pacers the series 😂😂
Everyone is sleeping on the Pacers.. smh
BIG PERKINS IS MY BRO! HE’S WITH THE KNICKS!❤
Thibodeau better have his A Game as a coach! No more passes for losing a game when your team is up by 6 with 28 seconds left in the game. Use Achiuwa and winning game 1 is a must - Thibs has a history of blowing meaningful games for his team.
Idk what's faker, SAS being a Knicks fan or that smile on Malika's face
I hope Reggie Miller calls a couple of the games. Would be dope af
Pacers in 6, everyone sleeping on the Pacers. Too much weight on Brunson to carry the scoring load, Pacers are going to blitz him and force the role players to beat them. Just as the Knicks with do to Tyrese, only difference is the Pacers role players are better.
Pacers play zero defense they lost games to the bucks with back ups the knicks will be able to score on the pacers. The pacers better run all night because if the knicks slow this game down and rebound and defend like they did against the 76ers this series will be difficult for them.
@@christopherstroh1445 Love the confidence, I don't see it that way. The Pacers will have little trouble scoring, the pressure will be on Brunson to keep the Knicks in the game. Of the 3 games the Pacers played the Knicks they scored 125 and 140pts and I don't think OG changes that.
The pacers can't stop a cold people need to stop acting like the pacers play any defense they don't they are going to need to shoot the lights out because the knicks are the better rebounding team and defensive team I do love the enthusiasm for the pacers fans though much like the 76ers fans
Pacers don't play defense. Donte will go off
Knicks 🙌🏾💪🏾🙌🏾
Also, Carlisle knows Jalen Brunson well since he coached him for years.
It’s not the same Brunson totally different player when he was in Dallas, OG vs saikam will be real interestingmatchup since they both played with each other
Brunson not even the same player he was last year.
#1 offense meets Metal Bats
Stephen A Smith not lying!! Pacers offense no joke 💯
An unstoppable force meets an immovable object. 😤
I hope Steven A is sitting next to Spike Lee courtside. I want to see them cry on each other's shoulder after the Pacers take the series 😊
Big perk for governor of NY.. SAS his assistant get big perk whatever he needs.. coffee... donuts etc.
We don't need a confidently doubtful Knicks Fan Stephen A!!!!
10 years ago Indiana beat the Knicks in 6 and went 7 against Miami!
That Pacers team was way too good and were close to beating that big 3 of Miami.
Pacers can reach the Finals.
I’ve been saying this, I feel as a Knick fan we just to hype that we not realizing what the pacers are. We gonna be shocked when the come out running using 9-10 deep and tibs just doing 5-7
Yea some of us don’t live in reality. This Pacer team will not be easy to beat 💯
Doesnt matter its who plays better
There’s no fast paced if the Knicks rebound and play defense lol
Knicks in 6
In 5
We with big Perk
New York feeling they self go Pacers 💪
As we should.. Knicks will shut the pacers offense down
Pacers in 6 😎
Lmao
I think pacers will have hard times to guard Brunson, his a monster man, maybe double team him a lot
For some reason I’m not OG on pascal and the struggle they had against Milwaukee this is why we got precious also we’re last in pace by choose
I’m a pacers fan and I have the Knicks in 6 however I think the pacers take game 1 after the Knicks had that hard fought series against the 76ers.
I’m a Bucks fan rooting for NY, bring it home Brunson 🥲
"DO NOT LISTEN TO KENDRICK PERKINS" 😂
NEW YORK KNICKS ARE NOT SLEEPING ON INDIANA! SO CUT IT OUT STEPHEN A. WITH ALL DUE RESPECT FOR THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE GAME, BUT THE KNICKS KNOW WELL WHAT THEY MUST DO!
Kendrick "chopped Cheese" Perkins has spoken
Send that man a Yankees hat and a pair of butters
It’s funny because Stephen Flip flop Smith was declaring they was going to the eastern conference finals lol those were his exact words. Not his Knicks btw
We Knicks fans are proposing a trade, Steven A. Smith for Kendrick Perkins. Preach Perk!
Congrats to both my #NBAChampion Raptors Legend #Pascal #Siakam and #OG #Anunoby both reaching the Eastern Conference Semifinals... I want Pascal Pacers to win and Anunoby to have a great game. #WeTheNorth x #BoomBaby
I can’t wait for Knicks vs Celtics.
Defense transition is key in this series
Must start McBride, hart, and og for this one
Thibs gonna have to play precious Achuwa and Alec Burks this serious. He gotta go 9 deep. Can’t keep playing Brunson and Hart and OG 45mins a night.
Perk is a Pacers hater…..he picked Milwaukee to beat us without dame and Giannis…..
New yorkers love their governor in Big perk
ESPN has achieved equality!
Ain't no Knicks fans sleeping on the Pacers, Knicks gonna do what they do🤨
Pacers will have this series wrapped up by Sunday 🧹
perk has always been a pacers hater smh
How do you know that? Random af
@@LikeLikeLikeLikeLi by hearing his takes. How is that random, it’s literally what this video is about
@@byt865 and it’s getting weird by the series he hates somebody on pacers maybe Hali but to say don’t worry is crazy
Nah he just a big body Brunson supporter
And Celtics hater
If the Knicks lose against the Pacers, it is going to be because Thibs playing only 6-7 guys. Thibs needs to trust the Knicks bench more and go deeper into the bench than just 2 guys.
Did he just say wattwalluz 😂
KP speaking facts !!!! yessiirrrr Perk Let them know Perk Let them Know !!!! Knicks gonna smack this Indy Team , Knicks in 6 !!!
This series is going go to 7! I got the Pacers winning. It could go either way
I'm a lifelong New Yorker and i give Perk more respect than SAS in support of the Knicks, SAS is a mess 🤢
Knicks are gonna mop the floor with the pacers!
Pacers in 6
SAS knows he's nervous lol
I’m going with the Pacers. They were playing that tight D.
Pause!
Og.dvo.both hart. Deuce. …. Bench, precious shot blocker Mitch and our leader ladies and gentleman jalen.
Forgot bogie. He’ll drop dimes.
Pacers take game 1, Knicks lack depth to keep up until they figure out what adjustments they need to make and even still that doesn’t mean they walk over the Pacers.
No one is sleeping on the pacers . I’m confident thibs will have Knicks prepared . The Knicks physicality rebounding and defense will be the key and I don’t see the pacers out rebounding the Knicks
Keep sleeping on the Pacers. It will make it more sweet when we win
The Knicks chance is to bring this to G7. Pacers will play for a short series. Pacers is just that quick.
Wrong. Indiana wants a long series to run the Knicks into the ground
@@shawn1832 no we want to end this early let’s go Pacers…
Pacers ain't winning nada Knicks for the sweep
lol what the knicks going to smack them
No one wants a 7 game series they better close it out as soon as possible
Knicks in 6 accurate prediction
Pacers in 6....hell it could be 5
You don't even believe that as you was typing be real with yourself
My only worry is Knicks depth. Bojan ruled out now. Precious and maybe even burks need to be ready
T.J. McConnell bouta go linsane on em
