Tom Thibodeau and the Knicks keep shutting up the doubters

How many Knicks fans denounced or disowned them in the middle of their Eastern Conference finals Game 3 showdown with the Pacers on Sunday night in Indianapolis?

Judging from the flood of rants on social media while the Knicks were being routed by the Pacers for three-quarters of the game, many of those tweets didn’t age well.

“Fire Thibs at halftime,” one person on X ranted.

At 9:07 p.m. ET Sunday, about an hour after tip-off and with the Knicks getting boat-raced by the Pacers, I received this snarky text from a friend and colleague: “Tommy and the Knicks are overmatched.”
