Can they pull their biggest upset yet in the Finals and earn the franchise's first NBA championship?

Expectations are fluid in the NBA. Tom Thibodeau took over a New York Knicks team in 2020 that had just spent two decades wandering through the desert. At the time, achieving a baseline degree of competence was all the Knicks could ever ask out of a coach. Since he was hired for his first top job in 2011, he is the only person to win Coach of the Year without earning a top-three seed. Five years ago, that's how low the bar was in New York.

The Indiana Pacers are headed to the NBA Finals for the first time in 25 years after a 125-108 Game 6 victory over the New York Knicks on Saturday night. The Pacers steadily grew their lead in the second half and the Knicks were unable to mount one of their trademark late comebacks, sending Indiana to face the top-seeded Oklahoma City Thunder in the Finals, which begin on Thursday night. Tyrese Haliburton, who shook off a rough Game 5, was once again the orchestrator for the Pacers.

When the New York Knicks acquired Karl-Anthony Towns, the idea was to supercharge their offense in the absence of defensive stalwart Isaiah Hartenstein, who left to join the Oklahoma City Thunder. Their results on that end of the floor were mixed, but as the season progressed, the defensive downgrade from Hartenstein to Towns grew increasingly apparent. When the Knicks had both Towns and Jalen Brunson on the floor in the playoffs, they just couldn't get stops.

I’d think about starting Mitchell Robinson in Game 4. I wouldn’t change the overall minutes distribution, I’d just want to make sure Mitch plays his minutes early in quarters and address the fact that the starters have gotten killed to open the first quarter three games in a row.
We knew the 3s were gonna fall for Boston eventually. The concern here is how much trouble the Knicks are having generating good shots. They’re dealing with bad variance themselves now, but they look mostly incapable of generating easy points right now. Variance won’t fix that.
Start printing those Manning jerseys now.
Saints HC Kellen Moore said they will rotate all their quarterbacks, give them all opportunities, as one tries to seize the starting job. “We’re going to let all three of these guys roll,” Moore said. Each will be given the chance to win the Saints’ starting job. https://t.co/eSW3H49JcU
