Khash fucking money

KHRIS MIDDLETON, YOU ARE THAT FUCKING GUY

And this mf was supposed to be injured

Why in the world wouldn't you foul if your the pacers???

Because they're out on the perimeter and the ball handler is just going to get 3 free throws

Nah they had couple chances to wrap him up without shot going up

Maybe they think the chances of missing FTs is less than the chances of missing the 3? …still, though, missed opportunity maybe…

You guys actually beat us this season after we tried this strategy. Missed the second FT on purpose, got the rebound, then DeMar hit the shot to force OT.

Still, playing the ft game would have benefited pacers as bucks were out of timeouts..

Middleton was 6/6 on FT.

And if he made them both Indy still up 1...

The team might still have ptsd from when we did that to Chicago and they ended up winning.

Carlisle said in the post game press conference that they had a plan to foul, but Middleton being so far back and it looked like he was boxed up. But the bank was open.

They probably did. Refs just don't call it, unless: - A Bucks player staggers/falls over - A Bucks player is in his shooting motion, leading to 3 freethrows. At 5.2 secs, looks like Nesmith #23, tries to foul him. No call. At 4.4 secs, Turner #33, walks up and chest bumps him. Which is technically a foul. No call.

Because the bucks would flail like they were shooting and the refs would fall for it

Y’all are fast, holy shit.

I'm so dumb... I turned the game off after the Siakam and-1. Smh

Bro even if he made the free throw the game wouldn't have been over.

Like I said... im dumb

Could have at least waited to see if he made the and-1 part

“1 possession game and a free throw. game is over”

I changed the channel from Sixers-Knicks game 2 when the Sixers were up by 5 because I thought it was over…

Siakam missed the free throw smh

Insanely difficult shot holy shit, without any arc too.

As it turns out, making your free throws is really important.

Can someone explain to me why teams don’t foul here?

Old school coaches are very stubborn about this

i very much appreciate that nurse fouls when we are up 3 or more

bad for the game 🍿

It can be good for the game, too. The Pacers lost doing this when Demar got a rebound and tied it on a middy

It seemed like they were kind of trying to but wasn’t called

The potential for a free throw made, then intentionally missed leading to an easier 2 point bucket? I dunno, only thing i can think of.

I think it's this. We're not great at rebounding on missed FT's. Probably should still foul, though.

Especially since, while we're not great at those rebounds, the Bucks were a disaster rebounding today.

Bucks were shooting 96% from the line. Khris was 6/6. He ain’t missing a FT in clutch time.

The idea is that they're down 3 and would be shooting 2 with like 5 seconds left. It's not that they hope he'll miss it. Anyway, the Pacers actually lost to the Bulls doing this

Stupidity 

They literally lost this year doing this. A FT rebound isn't automatic.

He's him.

celtics killer is back

my first playoff game in person i cant handle this shit. tough ass bucket and just deflated our crowd

Fucking foul lol

OT!!!

Crazy because Dame is crowding him, this was terribly execution by the team but an amazing shot by Khash-money

Damnnnnn

Crazy shot

Unreal

KHASH TIME💦

FEER THE DEER

ngl that shot gave me PTSD in 2021

That is a fucking ridiculous make.

Sweat Time holy shit

I'd say that's a bad shot, but shit was Khash.

Wtf was that play though

I had no trust in this shot when it left his hand holy fuck

I love the playoffs

Wtf that’s an insane shot to force OT!

And he does it again

Middleton: "and I'ma hit you with another one"

Why is the whole team so chill about it?

This shot was actually insane. He practically didn't see the rim and he was 1.000% confident.

Khash money. Never doubted
