“Getting donated to a third world country”: NBA fans sound off as Knicks prematurely printing Game 7 hats despite trailing 3-2 to Pacers

The New York Knicks won Game 5 111-94 against the Indiana Pacers on Thursday. Following this loss, the Pacers lead the series 3-2 and are still one win away from reaching the NBA Finals. Meanwhile, New York cannot afford to make any mistakes as the next loss will see their season come to an end.

Depending on how Game 6 goes, printing these hats will either be a genius move or a massive failure for New York. Both teams will be heading to the Gainbridge Fieldhouse for Game 6 on Saturday. The Pacers will have home-court advantage as they look to make their first NBA Finals appearance in 25 years.


The New York Knicks and the Indiana Pacers are looking to break a two-decade NBA Finals drought

The New York Knicks and the Indiana Pacers are fighting for the same thing in the Eastern Conference finals. Both teams have failed to reach the NBA Finals in over two decades. The Pacers’ last Finals appearance was in 2000, while the Knicks made it a year before in 1999.

Interestingly, the Pacers defeated New York to make the NBA Finals in 2000. From the looks of it, we could be on the verge of seeing history repeat itself as Indiana has put itself in a strong position, holding a 3-2 lead in the Eastern Conference finals.

However, that goes both ways, as New York defeated the Pacers in 1999 to book their last trip to the finals. Both teams reached the biggest stage and fell to some of the biggest stars in basketball.

The Knicks lost to Gregg Popovich’s San Antonio Spurs while the Pacers were defeated by Kobe Bryant and Shaquille O’Neal’s LA Lakers.
