Brian Gaines+FollowJarace Walker’s Painful Exit Shakes Game 6Tough break for the Pacers as rookie Jarace Walker went down with a nasty ankle injury early in the fourth. The bench mob was huge all series, and losing Walker in this Knicks rivalry could be a turning point. He had to crawl off after his ankle bent the wrong way—looked brutal. With Indy up double digits, can they still close out the Broadway Blue and book that Finals ticket? #Pacers #Knicks #NBAPlayoffs #Sports10Share
Brian Gaines+FollowChuck’s Fiery MSG Moment Sparks DebateDid y’all catch Sir Charles last night? Barkley had the TNT crew (and the internet) buzzing after his wild “going to hell” joke from way up in the MSG rafters. Classic Chuck—never afraid to stir the pot! The Knicks’ Game 5 win over the Pacers means we get at least one more show with the Inside the NBA legends. Plus, Barkley didn’t hold back when grilling KAT about those head-scratching fouls. Knicks vs. Pacers is heating up, and so is the TNT farewell tour! #NBAPlayoffs #KnicksVsPacers #CharlesBarkley #Sports01Share
Patrick Gonzales+FollowRandle Reflects: Wolves’ Playoff HeartbreakTough end for the Wolves as they fall to the Thunder in the West Finals—again. Julius “Lefty” Randle didn’t hold back postgame, calling the loss a “grieving stage” and admitting the team underperformed against OKC. After torching the Lakers and Warriors, Randle’s numbers dipped, and you could see the frustration. With a $31M player option looming, will Randle run it back or test free agency? Wolves fans, what’s next for the squad? #Timberwolves #JuliusRandle #NBAPlayoffs #Sports01Share
Theresa Boyd+FollowGreeny’s Hot Take: Knicks Just ‘Average’?!Did Mike Greenberg really call the Knicks ‘average’ after King Brunson and the crew just made their first East Finals in 25 years? Fans are fired up, especially with OG, Mikal, and KAT all balling out. Sure, Brunson’s been the engine, but calling a 51-win, 3-seed squad ‘average’ feels wild. Is Greeny stirring the pot, or is there some truth? Let’s hear your takes before Game 6! #KnicksTape #NBAPlayoffs #Brunson #Sports01Share
guerrajohn+FollowHaliburton Vows Bounce-Back vs KnicksAfter a rough Game 5 at MSG, Tyrese "The Engine" Haliburton is taking full responsibility for the Pacers’ flat performance. He’s promised Knicks fans—and his own squad—that Game 6 in Indy will be a different story. We all saw what he did in Game 4 (32/12/15, zero turnovers!). If Haliburton comes out aggressive, the Knicks better be ready. Carlisle’s got some tweaks coming, too. Can the Pacers avoid a Game 7 in the Garden? #Pacers #Knicks #NBAPlayoffs #Sports00Share
Amy Tanner+FollowHaslem’s Advice to Ant-Man After WCF ExitLove seeing OG Udonis Haslem reach out to Ant-Man after the Wolves’ tough WCF loss. Haslem reminded Edwards not to take these deep playoff runs for granted—he’s been there, thinking more chances would come easy, but they don’t. Ant averaged 23/7/4.6, but it’s clear he’s got his eyes on bigger things. Respect to Ant for putting Mike Conley first, but as Haslem said, enjoy the journey, young king! These moments don’t last forever. #NBAPlayoffs #Timberwolves #AntMan #Sports00Share
Oscar Gonzalez+FollowThibs’ Bold Bench Move Pays Off for KnicksWho saw Thibs actually trusting his bench in a must-win? Against all odds (and his own rep), Coach Thibodeau let guys like McBride, Delon, and Shamet get real minutes—and it worked! The Knicks handled the Pacers and forced a Game 6. Now the big question: does Thibs keep rolling with the bench, or go back to his old ways in Indy? Either way, the Knicks are closer to the Finals than they’ve been in ages. Thoughts on Thibs’ gamble? #KnicksTape #NBAPlayoffs #Thibodeau #Sports20Share
Amy Tanner+FollowWindy vs. Knicks Fans: Crossing the Line?Did Knicks fans go too far after clinching the ECF spot? ESPN’s Brian Windhorst says he was more than just heckled outside MSG—he claims some so-called 'fans' actually put hands on him after he picked the Celtics to win. While Stephen A. was singing the Knicks’ praises, Windy had to dodge some rowdy late-night 'hooligans.' He insists real Knicks fans were just celebrating, not causing trouble. What do you think—just playoff passion or did this cross the line? #KnicksTape #NBAPlayoffs #Windhorst #Sports00Share
Theresa Boyd+FollowIs Coach Carlisle the Real Pacers MVP?Everyone’s talking about Tyrese “The Maestro” Haliburton lighting up the Knicks, but let’s not sleep on what Coach Rick Carlisle is doing for Indy. With that Game 4 win, Carlisle just cracked the top 10 for all-time playoff coaching wins, passing K.C. Jones. The Pacers are now one W away from their first Finals since 2000. Could Carlisle’s experience—remember that 2011 Mavs run?—be the X-factor in this Knicks rivalry? #Pacers #NBAPlayoffs #RickCarlisle #Sports20Share
Nicole Obrien+FollowNesmith’s Injury: Game 4 X-Factor?Wow, what a twist in this Knicks-Pacers showdown! After the Knicks stormed back from 20 down in Game 3, the Pacers now face a huge question mark with Aaron Nesmith’s ankle injury. The "Nesmith Effect" was real—when he left, Indy’s lead vanished. With Game 4 looming and the series on the line, can the Pacers rally if their sharpshooter isn’t 100%? Or will the Knicks capitalize and keep the road-win streak alive? #KnicksVsPacers #NBAPlayoffs #Nesmith #Sports00Share
