Trevor Ruszkowski-Imagn Images Over the last few years, no coach has caused more division within a fan base than Tom Thibodeau. To his supporters, he was a culture-setter who noticeably raised the floor of the Knicks and got them to consistently be prepared, play hard, and hold each other accountable. But, to his critics, he was a stubborn coach who was at times too slow to adjust and drove fans mad over his rotations, isolation-heavy offense, and lack of experimentation.

Photo by Nathaniel S. Butler/NBAE via Getty Images After two close, but ultimately disappointing games that ended with New York Knicks being down 0-2 in the conference finals, the Knicks had some soul searching to do and questions to ask themselves. It may seem a bit extra, but it wasn’t just the fact that they lost. It’s the fact that despite having home court advantage in both games, they lost game one in historic fashion, and looked even worse in game two.

Photo by Brian Babineau/NBAE via Getty Images Less than two days after suffering maybe the worst, and most heartbreaking loss in franchise history, and less than an hour away from maybe the most important game of the season, the Knicks, and their fans got some good news. Point guard, and captain, Jalen Brunson was named to the All-NBA Second Team where he is joined by Steph Curry, Anthony Edwards, LeBron James, and Evan Mobley.

Photo by Nathaniel S. Butler/NBAE via Getty Images I know there are fans who, in a way, dread playoff game day because of the stress, and anxiety that it can cause. And the emotions that are evoked from said games only amplify as the playoffs go on. The pressure and stakes are increased, while the number of remaining teams decreases. But even for those fans, today could not come soon enough. Because less than 48 hours ago, the Knicks pulled off the unthinkable, but in the worst way possible.

Photo by Jesse D. Garrabrant/NBAE via Getty Images The New York Knicks lost the Eastern Conference Finals opener to the Indiana Pacers, 138-135 in overtime, blowing up a 14-point lead late in regulation. As the title suggests, let’s start with the good. It may be difficult right now to remember and appreciate the good. And I don’t blame you. We are less than 12 hours removed from witnessing one of the most embarrassing and historic collapses of all time. You, the fans, are allowed to feel sad.

Photo by Nathaniel S. Butler/NBAE via Getty Images As weird as it may be, this will likely be the first series these playoffs where the Knicks are heavily favored. Many people had the Knicks beating the Pistons, but a significant amount of analysts and media personalities still picked the Pistons because they thought, for some reason, that Cade Cunningham would be the best player in the series.

Photo by Keith Torrie/NY Daily News via Getty Images The Knicks and Pacers rivalry is one that doesn’t often get brought up in the greatest sports rivalries conversation. And rightfully so. It doesn’t compare to Real Madrid vs. Barcelona, Yankees vs. Red Sox, Dodgers vs. Giants, Duke vs. UNC, Ohio State vs. Michigan, Lakers vs. Celtics, Packers vs. Bears, or many other intense rivalries within the sports world.

The Knicks and Pacers rivalry is one that doesn’t often get brought up in the greatest sports rivalries conversation. And rightfully so. It doesn’t compare to Real Madrid vs. Barcelona, Yankees vs. Red Sox, Dodgers vs. Giants, Duke vs. UNC, Ohio State vs. Michigan, Lakers vs. Celtics, Packers vs. Bears, or many other intense rivalries within the sports world. It might not even be the most talked about rivalry the Knicks have since that honor probably goes to the Nets or Heat. But do not get it twisted.

Photo by Brian Fluharty/Getty Images In what a lot of people thought would be the Celtics’ last game of the season, they played maybe their most impressive game of basketball this year. It was filled with incredible defensive energy from Luke Kornet, amazing shot-making from Derrick White, and a complete two-way statement game from Jaylen Brown. But for every bit as impressive as the Celtics’ performance was, the Knicks’ performance was just as embarrassing.
