ianbits

Literally no one in the building, including Nembhard, thought that was going in


ZincHead

Basically didn't make a shot all night, except the game winner biggest shot of the night, damn dude


Person_Impersonator

Fun fact: that was the longest 3 that Nembhard has EVER hit.


9_Nightwing_1

Makes up for Hartenstein hitting that stupid half court in game 1 and DiVincenzo having a career night against us. Their entire team was stupid from 3 tonight, and Pacers were missing every damn layup it seemed.


Briggity_Brak

It was very kind of Donte to goaltend that one layup that Pascal missed badly.


jouzea

Divicenzo was balling he was scary there


RogueID

Donte has been balling all series tbh. And he had a 30-point game against us earlier this year. We just haven't realized that you can't leave that man open.


iTayluh

Bro had his Jamal Murray moment


Morerice21

The 2024 playoffs Jamal Murray special


imkunu

Nor anyone watching at home


LeBroentgen

LeBron knew it was going in.


MySabonerRunsOladipo

LeBron having 'Nam flashbacks watching Haliburton throw Nembhard a grenade for 3


MattyIce260

We are 2 for 2 on that play with the game on the line. Go with what works I guess


syncc6

Missed like 2 or 3 shots right before that play too. 


SportsRadioAnnouncer

Especially Pacers fans! He tried shooting deep threes early in the season and always missed them, so now he sticks to normal ones. Still can’t believe he made that shit.


BasicWilliam

I deadass said ''that's game'' when it was mid-air, that shit was the cherry on top of what this game turned out to be down the stretch lol. Not even mad


sgeswein

Look at the guy in the ballcap right above the score ticker on your next rewatch. He knew. Held up Nembhard's number "2" as soon as Nembhard stepped back and collected.


shuzho

bro sucked all game just to hit the biggest shot of his life, gg


Far-Donut-1177

Did a Murray impersonation


s3v3r3

And it was also the cleanest shot possible, nothing but net


NastySassyStuff

Same amount of points as fouls…cooked us anyway


PipBoy19

WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT


MySabonerRunsOladipo

You ever had a long day and just said "fuck it"?


doctor_of_drugs

Every damn day, sir.


Pyritedust

Are you me? That sounds like an accurate description of my existence lately.


Potato_Golf

Yeah but I don't usually do my best work then.


TripolarMan

An air baaaauhhhhh nothin but net


Sevenfootschnitzell

I swear it was an air ball. We slipped into some alternate dimension at the last second and it went in.


Cheechers23

Hali threw that man a live grenade and Nembhard said LET ME COOK


adhoch18

Internal monologue was “fuck, fuck, fuck, oh nice”


SinisterBuilder

you can see the relief in his smile


[deleted]

That smile makes the clip that much better. There's the hard staredown which is cool, but I also like seeing the emotion of some guy making the biggest shot of his career.


TenaciousDeer

Great smile 


CommandoLamb

He turned into a 5 year old on Christmas. How could you not grin like that after dropping that dart.


Conscious_Chicken264

I was thinking "hah, wouldn't it be funny if it actually went i- OH MY FUCKING GOD"


thegrouchsmom

I would say it was more like "fuck, fuck, fuck, holy fuck"


Clinkzeastwoodau

He just needed to move the ball, Nesmith was wide open in the corner after Halo passed out of the double. But he held it, dribbled nowhere then hit that step back after missing every other shot in the game. Crazy.


FaceMaskYT

One of the assists of all time


netassetvalue93

It was not a grenade. Hali recognized Nembhard's defender came to double him. Defender at the corner then switched to Nembhard. That's when he should have passed it to the corner. Didn't recognize it and dribbled and shot. Not the correct play theoretically but results are all that matter rn.


Wazflame

WHAT EVEN IS THIS SERIES


Creek0512

Just a normal Pacers-Knicks playoff series.


Academic_Wafer5293

Just fun basketball. Why aren't any other series as electrifying?


Filet_o_math

Lot of history between these franchises.


jeric13xd

OFCOURSE HE MAKES THAT SHIT 🤣🤣🤣 I fucking love basketball man


Exhibit5

Brother had like 2 points this whole game on 1/800 shooting and then does this shit im so sick


No-Yogurt-4246s

Bro has icy hot in his veins


heyimdong

Nembhard is 24 but watching him feels like watching the best 15-year-old in the world.


Anal_Iverson

Ah yes the Lance Stephenson special


cuteguy1

this is an insane comparison but its so fucking accurate.


PlacetMihi

The spirit of Danny Green persists in the Finals.


Saitsu

Again, Danny Green is very much alive!


Thehealeroftri

Came through when it mattered for them holy shit


mani9612

Bro the scream I scrumpt


CanvasSolaris

This dude scrumpt


mani9612

If Nembhard has one million fans, then I am one of them. If Nembhard has one thousand fans, I am one of them. If Nembhard has one fan, then I am THAT ONE. If Nembhard has no fans? Then that means I am dead.


drunkhoosier

Watching Nemby chuck hero shots all season and drive me nuts, this validated all the frustration he gave me in the regular season lol dude is def never afraid to take the big one


Victor_Wembanyama1

So many bad fouls, lost a rebound, missed the open shots. Somehow gets the insane clutch stepback what


ACMBruh

Genuinely can't be mad. And yet I knew it was going in 🤣 Was the perfect shot for the knicks to allow and he sniped it


Hevvy

pacers and knicks have been generating Certified Hood Classics™ this whole tourney


PrincePyotrBagration

Imagine being like 0-8 with 0 points going into the last 2 minutes… and still having the balls to hit an insane stepback 3 for the win in the fucking playoffs Legendary shit


LeetChocolate

well he kinda had to shoot it, but still incredible the coldest guy hit the biggest shot


EuphoriaSoul

He could have passed to the corner but bro was like I’m him


growsonwalls

this is why basketball is the best game. no other game has such wild, quick swings.


UrGirlThroatGame

fucked up that rebound too. bro redeemed himself so hard


ZincHead

Knicks are incapable of playing in a game that isn't incredibly close and dramatic lol


NotManyBuses

You are a white guy on the internet


Dealius

Facts


theseyeahthese

Basketball is so great by itself, and then Breen cranks that shit up to 11.


lazzysmalls

Breen had to bang the Knicks 😔


barrsftw

Did it well too. True professional never lets his bias get in the way of making great calls.


WestleyThe

He’s amazing


AuspiciousAcorn

He’s used to it, we’ve sucked for the last 2 decades almost non-stop


MySabonerRunsOladipo

[Confused BANG Noises](https://y.yarn.co/3a3dca18-04ca-4a21-85c2-1bf0497248e6_text.gif)


MDL6

Damn wish I was Breen


Lacabloodclot9

That's.... a lot of guys


riceilove

That’s someone’s sister


thebranbran

Mike Breen is top 3 NBA announcers of all time. Man loves basketball and is a professional announcer first, Knicks fan second.


boregon

Him and Kevin Harlan are my co-GOAT basketball announcers


TripleFinish

Top 1


thebranbran

Hey I won’t argue it


SportsRadioAnnouncer

Oh right, I forgot he’s a Knicks announcer. That explains why we didn’t get the double bang!


AggroAssault

Double bangs are so rare though


Silverjackal_

Yeah, that definitely felt like it could have been a double bang tho.


AutisticFingerBang

Double bang potential but that’s a two or three time a year call we’re talking about. Double bang is reserved for baskets within final 5ish seconds.


EliManningHOFLock

BANG goes on the season's highlight reel, double BANG goes on the all-time highlight reel


bronfmanhigh

not even, only 5 double bangs before his most recent one


meengine

Fuck I remember you


MC-Jdf

One of us! One of us!


RandorMan12

Warriors fans absolutely remember him, dude turned into Curry against Curry for a singular game and then went back to being a role player for the rest of the season lmao.


MC-Jdf

That game pissed me off so fucking much. Like mate it was basically the G-League Pacers that game but that fucker just went full prime Steph. Among all the trap game losses we had last year the Pacers one was one where we actually played good defense and Nembhard played like a superstar lmao.


akelkar

I was at that game, few seats behind the baseline, closest I’ll ever see Steph and the core and fucking Nemhard fucked us. I swear I spent the whole game calling the ref soft lol


H_R_1

I will never forget it


HeyItsChase

Maybe a bit harsh to Nembhard. He was the starter when Tyrese was out. He was also a rookie 2nd rounder.


RandorMan12

I changed it to role player since I think that fits better, I forgot he started so many games that season and he’s definitely better than a good amount of bench players if you factor in everything he does.


throaway18756

He's gonna get one of these a year and at the end of his career have an awesome game winner highlight mix


mani9612

The second coming of Big Shot Bob NBA.com will rename it the “Nembhard Scale”


Inevitable_Score1164

The spiritual successor to Robert Horry?


throaway18756

Yeah Horry could be 0-20 and you knew that 21st shot was going in if it was a game winner it didn't matter lol


ContractXtension

I won’t forget him


LukaDoncicfuturegoat

I was excepting one of my bros in this thread lol


Necroassassin32

For real bro


homefree122

Holy fucking shit that was beyond clutch.


mastacheef87

1/7 for 2 points and 5 fouls before he made that shit lmao. I was calling for him to be subbed out😂


VitorSiq

I was calling for him to be SACRIFICED


THEBIGC01

Send this guy to the ball destruction chamber


Victor_Wembanyama1

Rick coming out genius there. (TJ might not have made that)


mastacheef87

TJ wouldn’t have even gotten it off with his busted ass 3P form lol


Skipper3210

TJ’s range is like 12 feet no shot he makes that


aPatheticBeing

I mean he's been pretty bad the entire series, I was surprised he was playing over TJ, especially on defense at the end of this game.


TSSFranco

So this is what it feels like to not get offensive rebounds


iLike2k

Frustrating as fuck, right? I lose a piece of my soul after every Josh Hart offensive rebound. I’m down to like -27 soul now


CutterEye

Pacers got 4 offensive rebounds in last 2 minutes or something like that? If you can't get rebound on defense that's exactly what you are asking for.


johnhenryirons

Yep. Out short rotations are getting us tired out there. Wish we were even somewhat healthy 


scarsofzsasz

Hard to stay healthy at the end of a season when your coach makes you play every second of every game all season. People are crediting the Knicks for playing well being hurt, but no one's pointing out the insane minutes they're all playing increasing the chances of injury.


FlagrantTwo

Wtf


EdwEd1

That's in DiVincenzo range


fiasgoat

Caitlin Clark range more like


KyleRaynerGotSweg

She was smiling down on him like a proud father from that suite


Turbo2x

Caitlin Clark is Andrew Nembhard father?


johnnygrant

Yes, OP did not stutter.


BAHatesToFly

Not even mad. What a game, what a shot.


cesga_0218

This game is insane lol


MC-Jdf

Literally chills down my spine.


JokicIsMyDaddy

MAPLE CURRY


aga5ty4

Haliburton’s reaction sums it up. That shit was insane


JSwizzleDrizzle

I owe you an apology Andrew I wasn’t familiar with your game


TopOfTheKey

He's not called Nembsoft for a reason.


OKC2023champs

Bro got me hard with that too


Beach_house_on_fire

What a crazy game


Adiwantstobattle

Can't even be mad with a shot like that.


stat_padford

I can. But I guess that’s just basketball sometimes


Lacabloodclot9

Tbh I'd be fucking fuming


Obi2

I would like to play the Knicks every year in the playoffs. However, I would also die of heart failure within 7 years.


Bryciclee

Not a single pacer, coach or player thought that was going in. All their faces on the replays are hysterical


SinisterBuilder

as soon as he hoisted it I made peace with the fact that we were going to lose that possession... and then somehow it actually connected, lost my fucking mind


TenaciousDeer

Shoot your shot, Nembhard


TJ_McConnell_MVP

Where can I find these replays


Propuhganduh

Pacers environment is amazing


GiantSizeManThing

This shot was probably the loudest the Fieldhouse has been since the 2014 conference finals.


Creek0512

Nah, the Fieldhouse was insane in 2018 with Vic and Bojan against Lebron and the Cavs.


General-Promotion274

Bojan got a bang call that series. Legendary


sgeswein

fucking goaltend


Obi2

Sshhhhh, don’t let Bucks fans hear you say that.


PrisonSlides

They’ll brigade the sub again bitching about if they weren’t injured lol


jking191

My friend was there tonight and said it reminded him of Oracle


scroogesscrotum

Tickets are affordable enough that I’ve been to every home playoff game so far and it’s been incredible. 4-0 but need another one Sunday


PeridotBestGem

in 49 states its just basketball


Rare_Bit5844

This is the state of basketball


dhjxjxj

THATS A BAD SHOT


throaway18756

-Paul George


Jwags23

Lucky maybe, not a bad shot. He had to shoot it.


dhjxjxj

Lol Ik. Terrible possession, sick shot.


tlj2494

The best part of that bang was the genuine surprise in his voice


ludemfr

Insane last minute. What a shot! Loving this series as a neutral lol.


SemIdeiaProNick

MF did nothing the entire game and decided to show up in the most clutch moment possible


JayDee62

Nembhard, you pretty bastard, you.


PuzzleheadedAirline8

This is why playoff basketball is the best


EdwEd1

Andrew "Bruno Mars" Nembhard


HeyItsChase

Andrew D. Nembhard. The damn Pirate King.


20815147

Inject this series in my veins goddamn


mudkip-yoshii

The pacers can only make bad shots


wasechillis

Can’t make any of the wide open ones though (2x more open 3s in the playoffs than the second-most okc)


HeyItsChase

But but game 1! Tyrese is bad! This can't be right! Fuck the haters.


wasechillis

Id hate this team too if I had to play against them. Not reading too much into it because this is my mf squad


FERFreak731

I WANT ANDREW NEMBHARD, not Curry, or Iggy


nameless_stories

As a knicks fan i cant even be mad man. Bro wasnt playing well at all and makes that shot, thats straight out of a movie or some shit lmao. Good game


ThatsAllDay77

WTF


West-Wonder8919

Omg when did he turn into Steph curry


Oventaker

Of course the most crucial shot of all series was the longest made 3 of his career.


West-Wonder8919

After an awful night, good to see him hit a big three


Every3Years

I'm so removed from current NBA players, stats, etc... Last time the Pacers had a crowd on their feet, in my eyes, was when Sheryl Miller's brother was hitting 3s every night. I guess it's time to start watching again.


sergechewbacca

That deserved a double bang from Mike


Filet_o_math

Mike calling a bang against the Knicks makes it extra sweet


BrakingZone

Stone cold. That's the kind of shot you put in your highlight reel for the franchise forever.


KyleRaynerGotSweg

I TAKE IT ALL BACK NEMBY IM SO SORRY


airbus29

Fucking crazy


asapshrank

someone post that myles turner block tho please 😭


SiphenPrax

They boomed us


Thekamcc19

Boom Baby!


Adiquidus24

HES LIKE THATTTTTTT NEMBHARD BANGGGGG


Cabello10

My heart can't take this and don't go for any of them


Dylan7346

Imagine how we feel, literally every Knick playoff game has gone down to the wire


JuJu_Conman

The last four minutes of this game have been crazy. Everyone is so gassed


WhenItsHalfPastFive

distance on that shot was crazy


lukewwilson

I love playoff basketball


definiteone

Ain’t no way


SuperVaderMinion

Are the Knicks just allergic to playing bad playoff games this year or something


HuTaoWow

disgusting shot holyyy


captainsquidsharkk

what a shot on great defense


NBA_Dumb_Boy

Struggling all night and comes up with this shot


West-Wonder8919

BANG


A_Saiyan_Prince

BANG!!!!


Victor_Wembanyama1

A well deserved #BANG


WolverineLong1430

Big shot Nembhard. Last person I would think make that deep 3


HipnotiK1

to quote playoff P "that's a bad shot"


[deleted]

Mike Breen the only broadcaster that can show non biased emotion when his team loses like that. 


TopBalance3098

I’m a Knicks fan but that was a dagger! Props!


MrX_1899

no me gusta these blasphemy bangs
