Why everyone's saying 'Bing Bong': A guide to jumping on the Knicks bandwagon
The Knicks haven’t brought home a championship since 1973, but now they’re in the NBA Playoffs. On Friday night, they'll face the Pacers in Indiana for Game 3 of the Eastern Conference semifinals. New York City is buzzing with excitement. Can this be the year?
If you want to get up to speed on this year’s team, and why it suddenly seems like half the city is sporting Knicks merch, read on.Last season, the Knicks lost to the Miami Heat in the second round of the playoffs. Sure, fans were disappointed but they finally had something they could hold on to: hope. Up until last year, the Knicks hadn’t won a playoff series in a decade. That is essentially a century in sports fandom years.
In the first round of this year’s playoffs against the Philadelphia 76ers, he scored at least 40 points in the last three games. Then he faced the Indiana Pacers at Madison Square Garden on Monday and scored over 40 points AGAIN. The last person to score 40 points in four straight playoff games was none other than Michael Jordan, who accomplished the feat back in 1993.Sort of.
The other injury is Jalen Brunson. Please don’t panic. Well, panic a little. He has been listed as “questionable,” which is NBA talk for “we don’t want to tell you until we have to.” He injured his foot during Wednesday’s game, but came back and ended up dropping 29 points to push the Knicks to a 9-point win.Indeed.
