The New York Knicks and Indiana Pacers are set to battle in a series that feels more like a 1990s street fight than a modern playoff matchup. With the Knicks riding emotional momentum and the Pacers bringing depth and balance, this one could go the distance — and get physical.
In this segment, we dive into the minutes-heavy Knicks starters, Indiana’s bench strength, and whether New York’s grit can overpower the Pacers’ structure. From injury impacts to why the league might prefer the Knicks in the Finals, this episode delivers unfiltered, high-IQ basketball talk.
Hosted by Andy Hernandez, Nevin Shapiro, and KD — this is playoff insight you won’t get anywhere else.
