    It was a special season for the New York Knicks, but they ultimately fell short in the second round of the 2024 NBA playoffs. They dropped to the hands of the Indiana Pacers in Game 7, suffering a brutal loss at home.

    Knicks star Jalen Brunson left the game early with a fractured hand and New York was never able to see the light of day. They were pounded right off the tip, unable to keep up with Indiana's pace of play.

    Despite the injury to Brunson, the star received major scrutiny for the loss. He was blamed for the Knicks chocking the series, holding a 2-1 lead and 3-2 lead in the Semi-Final. With a player at Brunson's level, you get blamed for the loss and praised for the victory.
