**Knicks Trail 0-2 in Eastern Conference Finals Against Pacers: A Comedy of Errors**
In a shocking turn of events that has left fans scratching their heads and questioning their life choices, the New York Knicks find themselves trailing 0-2 in the Eastern Conference Finals against the Indiana Pacers. The Knicks, who were last seen attempting to locate their defense somewhere between Times Square and the nearest pizza joint, have officially entered the “What’s Next?” phase of their playoff journey.
After a thrilling Game 1, where the Knicks managed to score a whopping 12 points in the fourth quarter (a new franchise record for “Most Points Scored While Crying”), Game 2 saw them lose by a staggering 30 points. “We were just trying to give the Pacers a fighting chance,” said Knicks coach Tom Thibodeau, who was last seen frantically searching for a time machine to go back to the beginning of the season. “I mean, who doesn’t love an underdog story? Especially when the underdog is wearing orange and blue.”
Star player Julius Randle, who has been more elusive than a good Wi-Fi signal in Madison Square Garden, commented, “We’re just trying to keep the fans on their toes. You know, suspense! It’s like a thriller movie, but with more missed layups.”
Meanwhile, Knicks fan and self-proclaimed “Basketball Guru” Larry “The Legend” McFlurry was spotted outside the Garden wearing a paper bag over his head. “I’m just here for the nachos,” he said, while simultaneously trying to convince a pigeon that it was actually a basketball. “If I can’t have a championship, at least I can have cheese sauce.”
As the series heads to Indiana, the Knicks are reportedly working on a new strategy: “Operation: Just Throw the Ball in the General Direction of the Hoop.” Sources say they’ve hired a psychic to help them channel the spirit of past Knicks legends, but so far, all they’ve managed to summon is a confused Charles Oakley asking for his money back.
With Game 3 looming, fans are left wondering if the Knicks will finally find their rhythm or if they’ll continue to provide the Pacers with a free comedy show. One thing is for sure: if the Knicks can’t turn this around, they might just have to change their name to the New York “We Tried” Knicks.
