In this episode of Knick Life Crisis, Ra and Al unpack the Knicks' Eastern Conference Finals loss to the Indiana Pacers in a tough 4–2 series. Recorded just hours before the surprising news of Coach Thibs’ firing, this episode captures the raw emotion, frustration, and hope that only true Knicks fans can deliver.
The guys kick things off with a rapid recap of Games 4, 5, and 6, then shift into a season reflection—highlighting the grit of Brunson, the growth of the team, and the heartbreak of falling short.
But things heat up fast.
From heated Karl-Anthony Towns debates to AL going full panic mode ("Trade EVERYONE!"), Ra tries to talk him off the ledge... sort of. The duo also wrestles with big offseason hypotheticals: Should Thibs come back? Do we want KD? What would we give up for Giannis? And where does OG Anunoby fit in all this?
And of course, Crisis Corner returns with some bold NBA Finals predictions—because the show must go on.
Whether you’re mourning the loss or dreaming up offseason trades, this is one you won’t want to miss.
