Watch Colin Cowherd of FS1’s The Herd call out the Indiana Pacers for being the biggest ‘posers’, ‘fakers’, and ‘frauds’ of the NBA playoffs, with the no. 6 seeded Pacers down 0-2 to the New York Knicks in their conference semifinals series.
Check out the segment above as Colin details why an undermanned Knicks team was able to outlast Indiana back-to-back games in Madison Square Garden.
Colin Cowherd: “The playoffs unveil the posers, the frauds, the fakers... That’s the Pacers. What more could Indiana have in their favor? Julius Randle, the second-leading scorer has been out the entire playoffs, then it was announced that Mitchell Robinson is OUT for the rest of the playoffs, Jalen Brunson played early and then disappeared because he was hobbled – came back in the second half, O.G. is not at 100%... Everything lined up for the Pacers.
And we know the NBA officials have been doing this for the entire playoffs – they're letting players be physical. It’s better basketball. The Pacers are a tempo team, a finesse team, a get-up-and-down-the-floor team, and they can’t adjust on the fly. It’s like asking a finesse football team to go into Baltimore and face the Ravens, that’s why the Ravens had like six blowouts this year at home.
The Knicks are shooting 55% from the floor in the playoffs because Indiana won’t put a body on them. But it’s more than that... New York’s DNA; they’re a physical bunch of guys, and they’re now being allowed to be even more physical. The Pacers are a finesse team and they’re trying to ‘fake it’’.
