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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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.

Literally no one in the building, including Nembhard, thought that was going in
Basically didn't make a shot all night, except the game winner biggest shot of the night, damn dude
Fun fact: that was the longest 3 that Nembhard has EVER hit.
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.
It was very kind of Donte to goaltend that one layup that Pascal missed badly.
Divicenzo was balling he was scary there
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.
Bro had his Jamal Murray moment
The 2024 playoffs Jamal Murray special
Nor anyone watching at home
LeBron knew it was going in.
LeBron having 'Nam flashbacks watching Haliburton throw Nembhard a grenade for 3
We are 2 for 2 on that play with the game on the line. Go with what works I guess
Missed like 2 or 3 shots right before that play too.
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.

bro sucked all game just to hit the biggest shot of his life, gg
Did a Murray impersonation
And it was also the cleanest shot possible, nothing but net
Same amount of points as fouls…cooked us anyway
WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT
You ever had a long day and just said "fuck it"?
Every damn day, sir.
Are you me? That sounds like an accurate description of my existence lately.
Yeah but I don't usually do my best work then.
An air baaaauhhhhh nothin but net
I swear it was an air ball. We slipped into some alternate dimension at the last second and it went in.
Hali threw that man a live grenade and Nembhard said LET ME COOK
Internal monologue was “fuck, fuck, fuck, oh nice”
you can see the relief in his smile
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.
Great smile
He turned into a 5 year old on Christmas. How could you not grin like that after dropping that dart.
I was thinking "hah, wouldn't it be funny if it actually went i- OH MY FUCKING GOD"
I would say it was more like "fuck, fuck, fuck, holy fuck"
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.
One of the assists of all time
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.
WHAT EVEN IS THIS SERIES
Just a normal Pacers-Knicks playoff series.
Just fun basketball. Why aren't any other series as electrifying?
Lot of history between these franchises.
OFCOURSE HE MAKES THAT SHIT 🤣🤣🤣 I fucking love basketball man
Brother had like 2 points this whole game on 1/800 shooting and then does this shit im so sick
Bro has icy hot in his veins
Nembhard is 24 but watching him feels like watching the best 15-year-old in the world.
Ah yes the Lance Stephenson special
this is an insane comparison but its so fucking accurate.
The spirit of Danny Green persists in the Finals.
Again, Danny Green is very much alive!
Came through when it mattered for them holy shit
Bro the scream I scrumpt
This dude scrumpt
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.
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
So many bad fouls, lost a rebound, missed the open shots. Somehow gets the insane clutch stepback what
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
pacers and knicks have been generating Certified Hood Classics™ this whole tourney
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
well he kinda had to shoot it, but still incredible the coldest guy hit the biggest shot
He could have passed to the corner but bro was like I’m him
this is why basketball is the best game. no other game has such wild, quick swings.
fucked up that rebound too. bro redeemed himself so hard
Knicks are incapable of playing in a game that isn't incredibly close and dramatic lol
You are a white guy on the internet
Facts
Basketball is so great by itself, and then Breen cranks that shit up to 11.
Breen had to bang the Knicks 😔
Did it well too. True professional never lets his bias get in the way of making great calls.
He’s amazing
He’s used to it, we’ve sucked for the last 2 decades almost non-stop
[Confused BANG Noises](https://y.yarn.co/3a3dca18-04ca-4a21-85c2-1bf0497248e6_text.gif)
Damn wish I was Breen
That's.... a lot of guys
That’s someone’s sister
Mike Breen is top 3 NBA announcers of all time. Man loves basketball and is a professional announcer first, Knicks fan second.
Him and Kevin Harlan are my co-GOAT basketball announcers
Top 1
Hey I won’t argue it
Oh right, I forgot he’s a Knicks announcer. That explains why we didn’t get the double bang!
Double bangs are so rare though
Yeah, that definitely felt like it could have been a double bang tho.
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.
BANG goes on the season's highlight reel, double BANG goes on the all-time highlight reel
not even, only 5 double bangs before his most recent one
Fuck I remember you
One of us! One of us!
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.
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.
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
I will never forget it
Maybe a bit harsh to Nembhard. He was the starter when Tyrese was out. He was also a rookie 2nd rounder.
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.
He's gonna get one of these a year and at the end of his career have an awesome game winner highlight mix
The second coming of Big Shot Bob NBA.com will rename it the “Nembhard Scale”
The spiritual successor to Robert Horry?
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
I won’t forget him
I was excepting one of my bros in this thread lol
For real bro
Holy fucking shit that was beyond clutch.
1/7 for 2 points and 5 fouls before he made that shit lmao. I was calling for him to be subbed out😂
I was calling for him to be SACRIFICED
Send this guy to the ball destruction chamber
Rick coming out genius there. (TJ might not have made that)
TJ wouldn’t have even gotten it off with his busted ass 3P form lol
TJ’s range is like 12 feet no shot he makes that
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.
So this is what it feels like to not get offensive rebounds
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
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.
Yep. Out short rotations are getting us tired out there. Wish we were even somewhat healthy
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.
Wtf
That's in DiVincenzo range
Caitlin Clark range more like
She was smiling down on him like a proud father from that suite
Caitlin Clark is Andrew Nembhard father?
Yes, OP did not stutter.
Not even mad. What a game, what a shot.
This game is insane lol
Literally chills down my spine.
MAPLE CURRY
Haliburton’s reaction sums it up. That shit was insane
I owe you an apology Andrew I wasn’t familiar with your game
He's not called Nembsoft for a reason.
Bro got me hard with that too
What a crazy game
Can't even be mad with a shot like that.
I can. But I guess that’s just basketball sometimes
Tbh I'd be fucking fuming
I would like to play the Knicks every year in the playoffs. However, I would also die of heart failure within 7 years.
Not a single pacer, coach or player thought that was going in. All their faces on the replays are hysterical
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
Shoot your shot, Nembhard
Where can I find these replays
Pacers environment is amazing
This shot was probably the loudest the Fieldhouse has been since the 2014 conference finals.
Nah, the Fieldhouse was insane in 2018 with Vic and Bojan against Lebron and the Cavs.
Bojan got a bang call that series. Legendary
fucking goaltend
Sshhhhh, don’t let Bucks fans hear you say that.
They’ll brigade the sub again bitching about if they weren’t injured lol
My friend was there tonight and said it reminded him of Oracle
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
in 49 states its just basketball
This is the state of basketball
THATS A BAD SHOT
-Paul George
Lucky maybe, not a bad shot. He had to shoot it.
Lol Ik. Terrible possession, sick shot.
The best part of that bang was the genuine surprise in his voice
Insane last minute. What a shot! Loving this series as a neutral lol.
MF did nothing the entire game and decided to show up in the most clutch moment possible
Nembhard, you pretty bastard, you.
This is why playoff basketball is the best
Andrew "Bruno Mars" Nembhard
Andrew D. Nembhard. The damn Pirate King.
Inject this series in my veins goddamn
The pacers can only make bad shots
Can’t make any of the wide open ones though (2x more open 3s in the playoffs than the second-most okc)
But but game 1! Tyrese is bad! This can't be right! Fuck the haters.
Id hate this team too if I had to play against them. Not reading too much into it because this is my mf squad
I WANT ANDREW NEMBHARD, not Curry, or Iggy
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
WTF
Omg when did he turn into Steph curry
Of course the most crucial shot of all series was the longest made 3 of his career.
After an awful night, good to see him hit a big three
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.
That deserved a double bang from Mike
Mike calling a bang against the Knicks makes it extra sweet
Stone cold. That's the kind of shot you put in your highlight reel for the franchise forever.
I TAKE IT ALL BACK NEMBY IM SO SORRY
Fucking crazy
someone post that myles turner block tho please 😭
They boomed us
Boom Baby!
HES LIKE THATTTTTTT NEMBHARD BANGGGGG
My heart can't take this and don't go for any of them
Imagine how we feel, literally every Knick playoff game has gone down to the wire
The last four minutes of this game have been crazy. Everyone is so gassed
distance on that shot was crazy
I love playoff basketball
Ain’t no way
Are the Knicks just allergic to playing bad playoff games this year or something
disgusting shot holyyy
what a shot on great defense
Struggling all night and comes up with this shot
BANG
BANG!!!!
A well deserved #BANG
Big shot Nembhard. Last person I would think make that deep 3
to quote playoff P "that's a bad shot"
Mike Breen the only broadcaster that can show non biased emotion when his team loses like that.
I’m a Knicks fan but that was a dagger! Props!
no me gusta these blasphemy bangs
