NBA.com Pacers. Got. Broken. Possibly, the Knicks are not that bad when they play home games... Factually, the Knicks are nearly impeccable when they play road games... Here’s what Coach Thibs and many other people said before and after yesterday’s affair, if you know what I’m saying... "I thought the first quarter, that set the tone for the game" Tom Thibodeau talks about...

In a wire-to-wire win, the stars and Shamet shut down Haliburton and the Hoosiers. The New York Knicks came out swinging in Game Five of the ECF, with Jalen Brunson leading an early surge that set the tone for a dominant first half. New York’s bench—anchored by a tough Karl-Anthony Towns and an inspired Landry Shamet—stretched the lead to 14 by halftime. Behind a balanced second-half...

Win or go home—New York faces elimination at home. The New York Knicks return to Madison Square Garden tonight facing elimination, down 3–1 in the Eastern Conference Finals after Tuesday’s 130–121 loss to the Indiana Pacers. Despite strong performances from Jalen Brunson (31 points), Karl-Anthony Towns (24 points, 12 rebounds), and OG Anunoby (22 points), the Knicks were undone by a...

Pray the Lord. Win and in for the Pacers. Lose and doom for the Knicks . Here’s what we’ve heard from Coach Thibs and a few other folks. "We've been a team that's found a way to do the impossible. We just keep fighting. It's gonna be a testament to our whole playoff run. Now we have to be in one of the biggest fights of our lives" –– KAT on Game 5 in the Garden Knicks down 3-1 ...

For the optimist fan who isn’t ready to throw in the towel. Well, this is it. The Knicks have been pushed to the brink. For the first time this season, and just the fifth time in the last 12 years, the Knicks are going to play an elimination game on Thursday. In a painful series that has included an all-time choke and two frustrating close losses, the Knicks officially have no margin for...

For the Knicks to make Game 6? Well, here we are. One more loss away until elimination. Coming into this series, I really didn’t think the Knicks were going to lose to the Pacers two years in a row. Especially with the momentum they carried into Game 1 after the Boston series win, I really thought this was it. They took care of Boston, Indiana took care of Cleveland, and it just felt like...

Trevor Ruszkowski-Imagn Images Time to nut up or shut up Years ago I was walking to a friend’s apartment late at night, less than a minute away, when I got jumped. I had headphones on, blaring; next thing I knew someone was choking me from behind. I tried pulling away; no luck, he was bigger than me, stronger. Tried telling him I had no money (pocket change; less than a dollar). He...

Win three, and you’re in. I guess. The Knicks lost 130-121 to the Pacers in a pivotal Game 4 on the road. New York will host Game 5, hopefully Game 7, and most probably not Game 1 of any series until next April—at the earliest. Here’s what Coach Thibs and a bunch of other people said before and after Tuesday’s catastrophic outing. "We hurt ourselves with our turnovers, putting them in...

We knew it was coming sometime. In Game One of the Eastern Conference Finals, Indiana’s Aaron Nesmith stole the show. Game Two was Pascal Siakam’s turn. We figured Tyrese Haliburton would have a breakout game eventually—and so he did tonight in Game Four, when his Pacers beat the New York Knicks 130-121 at the Gainbridge Fieldhouse. Haliburton’s final stat-line: 32 points, 15 assists, a...

The comeback kids are back in Indy, looking to tie up the ECF. The New York Knicks punched back on Sunday, erasing a 20-point hole to steal Game Three against the Indiana Pacers, 106-100. Karl-Anthony Towns’ bananas fourth-quarters trimmed the Easter Conference Finals to 2-1, keeping New York’s Finals dream very much alive while quieting a stadium full of yellow t-shirts. Game Three...

New York can even the ECF series with another win in Indy. The Knicks smelled blood. New York took advantage and made the ECF a real series. It’s just one more game in Indy before everybody and their father return to the Garden for Game 5 on Thursday. Here’s what Coach Thibs and a few other folks have said leading up to Game 4 on Tuesday. Jalen Brunson was asked what it would mean...

Knicks did what they needed to. Pacers didn’t. There are two sides to every story. There are two sides to every coin. And there are two sides to every basketball game. A lot has rightfully been made of what the Knicks did Sunday. They finally changed their starting lineup; they went into their bench more and used Landry Shamet and Delon Wright, staggered Jalen Brunson and Karl-Anthony...

The Knicks are alive. How much longer is up to them. Down 2-0 after two deflating losses in the World’s Most Famous Arena, the Knicks played even early before flatlining in the second quarter. Nine minutes in, the Pacers had exploded for a 29-9 run to take a 20-point lead just before halftime. The Knicks chipped away. The lead was down to 13 at halftime, they rallied from a 16-point third...

The bench mob got it done. A bunch of folks up in Indianapolis are starting to sweat and feel anxious, aren’t they? The Knicks made the trip to Indy, enjoyed the 500, and ran the Pacers out of their own arena, beating them 106-100 and inching closer to making the ECF a tied affair if/when they can get another dub on Tuesday. Here’s what Coach Thibs and a few other folks said before and...

After falling behind by 20, New York rallied in the third and won the fourth by 16 to win Game Three. A must-win game? Just a little bit. The New York Knicks (1-2) came into tonight’s Game Three of the ECF against the Indiana Pacers (2-1) having lost all nine playoff games they had played at Gainbridge Fieldhouse. A loss tonight would have put them in a virtually hopeless 3-0 hole. For...
