00:00
the new york knicks back in the eastern conference finals for the first time in 25 years and an old
00:06
foe awaits in the indiana pacers this year's indiana pacers team and last year's indiana
00:13
pacers team in the eastern conference finals for two straight seasons how did indiana get
00:20
to the eastern conference finals a year ago a game seven victory inside madison square gordon
00:26
against the new york knicks so there is a ton of bitter playoff rivalry between these two clubs
00:33
drs and even some recent form as we saw just a postseason ago the last time the knicks were in
00:40
the eastern conference finals in 2000 it was reggie miller and his pacers knocking new york out
00:46
in only six games so where there is a lot of history and rivalry at stake between these two sides
00:54
where the new york knicks will enter this year's rendition of the eastern conference finals as
00:59
nearly a dollar and a half favorite the knicks minus 146 in the series outright price to knock off
01:07
indiana and get some revenge this time around but donnie it went to seven a playoff a go it is expected
01:15
to go to seven here in the eastern conference finals in 2025 and really i have a hard time
01:22
fault in the odds makers for that anticipation it's a great matchup it's going to be a lot of
01:27
fun and we are expecting certainly a longer series here and the question is going to be is how hungry
01:32
are the new york knicks he said what kind of question is that donnie of course they're hungry
01:35
they haven't won a championship in 50 years i want to see how they come out particularly ben in game
01:40
number one because that's a lot of emotion you vanquish the boston celtics you can see the eastern
01:46
conference finals you can see now the nba championship rounds if you get there for the nba
01:51
finals and i want to see how they come out in game number one because that's going to set the tone
01:54
like there will be a lot of panic in the streets in new york after all that jubilation if they lose
01:59
game number one to the pacers who are rested and are ready and it's the same thing we talk about in
02:04
okc like okay okc not really used to winning championships they don't have one as an organization
02:08
they won a game number seven how do they play it out 24 to 48 hours later when they're back on the
02:14
court because it's not like hey been there done that we're through this every single year
02:17
injuries non-injuries we make deep runs in the playoffs that's not the case here but i do love
02:22
the old school 1990s dale davis rick smiths you know reggie miller those teams going at it market
02:28
square arena back there in indianapolis back in the day was always rocking madison square garden
02:33
obviously as well you know the the new york knicks the indiana pacers the spike lee the choking
02:39
instance we're going to get into all of that but i got to tell you i still think a lot of teams coming
02:44
into the playoffs like hey we got a chance to win it all nobody gave the pacers any shot i didn't
02:48
hear anybody talking about the pacers before the playoffs started you know what i think they can
02:52
