Stephen A: I'm with my Knicks BUT I'm NOT sleeping on the Pacers! | NBA Countdown 

Knicks are lucky to have Perk. Shout out to the governor!

OG vs Pascal Siakim. Shoutout to those RAPTORS CHAMPIONS!!!

His Level of his support for his so called team the Knicks changes every 24 hrs.

Message to ESPN...Knicks Nation does not care what SAS says...

We New Yorkers are riding with Big PERK we got Pitbulls and Rottweilers

SAS: everybody is sleeping on the pacers Mike wilbon: I don’t know who’s sleeping on Indiana Perk: ALLOW ME TO INTRODUCE MYSELF

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

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.

Bench points are crucial for the knicks

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 😂

Forgot Pascal vs OG will be something to watch

not sleeping on the Pacers but Go NY GO

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.

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.

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

Perk been right all year about the Knicks so far

Indy in 7

Pacers Offense is no joke, Knicks offense gotta come to play.

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

SAS rite to be nervous the Pacers ain’t no joke

"i would let u smell my cologne" 😂

Pacers are a deep team, that’s gonna be a problem for 7-man Thibs

So we suppose to listen to Screaming A Smith who never played in the nba and avg 1.8 ppg in college 😂😂😂😂😂😂

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

how can stephen a be like “conference finals” all season, but now he’s taking it back and being cautious lol

Perk is great representing new-york Knicks

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!

No one is sleeping on the pacers their a good team should be a fun series let’s go Knicks

You can hear the passion in my boy Stephen a smith voice about his Knicks 💪🏾

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!

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.

What was the name of the song in the beginning??? Help pls

We love you Perk

Knicks in 6

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.

Don’t worry too much , the knocks are about to impress everyone and win it all man !!! I feel it.

SAS just doesn’t want to jinx it - smart move 😂

Wassup with Wilbon, he doesn't sound the same....under the weather? Something seems off, hope you're okay brotha!

Stephen A ain’t trying to get gassed up Quit the music lol

Knicks 🙌🏾💪🏾🙌🏾

An unstoppable force meets an immovable object. 😤

Also, Carlisle knows Jalen Brunson well since he coached him for years.

Everyone is sleeping on the Pacers.. smh

#1 offense meets Metal Bats

I hope Reggie Miller calls a couple of the games. Would be dope af

We Are with Perk!!!

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.

Idk what's faker, SAS being a Knicks fan or that smile on Malika's face

Perk bout to single handedly win Pacers the series 😂😂

10 years ago Indiana beat the Knicks in 6 and went 7 against Miami!

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.

Stephen A Smith not lying!! Pacers offense no joke 💯

New York feeling they self go Pacers 💪

We with big Perk

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

Pacers in 6 😎

Go Pacers !!

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

BIG PERKINS IS MY BRO! HE’S WITH THE KNICKS!❤

I think pacers will have hard times to guard Brunson, his a monster man, maybe double team him a lot

Pacers can reach the Finals.

Did he just say wattwalluz 😂

"DO NOT LISTEN TO KENDRICK PERKINS" 😂

We don't need a confidently doubtful Knicks Fan Stephen A!!!!

Big perk for governor of NY.. SAS his assistant get big perk whatever he needs.. coffee... donuts etc.

I’m a Bucks fan rooting for NY, bring it home Brunson 🥲

perk has always been a pacers hater smh

New yorkers love their governor in Big perk

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 😊

Defense transition is key in this series Must start McBride, hart, and og for this one

The Knicks chance is to bring this to G7. Pacers will play for a short series. Pacers is just that quick.

Smell my cologne!!! Pausssseeeee

There’s no fast paced if the Knicks rebound and play defense lol

Bandwagon Steve 😂

ESPN has achieved equality!

Perk is a Pacers hater…..he picked Milwaukee to beat us without dame and Giannis…..

We Knicks fans are proposing a trade, Steven A. Smith for Kendrick Perkins. Preach Perk!

I can’t wait for Knicks vs Celtics.

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!

KP speaking facts !!!! yessiirrrr Perk Let them know Perk Let them Know !!!! Knicks gonna smack this Indy Team , Knicks in 6 !!!

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

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

Stephen A Smith was right to worried and KP cursed the Knicks

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.

My only worry is Knicks depth. Bojan ruled out now. Precious and maybe even burks need to be ready

Og.dvo.both hart. Deuce. …. Bench, precious shot blocker Mitch and our leader ladies and gentleman jalen.

Kendrick "chopped Cheese" Perkins has spoken Send that man a Yankees hat and a pair of butters

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.

Pacers in 6

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

Pacers will have this series wrapped up by Sunday 🧹

Ain't no Knicks fans sleeping on the Pacers, Knicks gonna do what they do🤨

Perkins also said we had no chance against bucks without Giannis lol… bro hate small market Indiana

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.

Pacers in 6....hell it could be 5

Knicks are gonna mop the floor with the pacers!

Did the pacers win the season series thats is very important

I have the PACERS IN 6! If both teams stay healthy the Knicks won't be able to keep up with the PACE the PACERS (pun intended) make them play at. I just think Indiana is going to run them of the court and they have the offense to do it. Knicks only shot is to slow the game down to a crawl. But, I have Pacers in 6.

I’m going with the Pacers. They were playing that tight D.

SAS knows he's nervous lol
