Josh Hart probably won’t be very popular at Gainbridge Fieldhouse. 

The outspoken Knicks forward railed on Indiana as an NBA locale during a months-old podcast episode that resurfaced after the Knicks clinched a second-round series against the Pacers.  

“If I don’t have to play the Indiana Pacers, I’m not stepping foot in that State,” Hart said in February on his ‘Roommates Show’ with Jalen Brunson. “I don’t want to be in Indiana for any All-Star break, for anything. I am not an Indiana guy.”

Hart, who isn’t shy about ribbing, said he found two solid food options in the Midwest city, and neither was St. Elmo’s Steakhouse.

“I will say they do got a White Castle there. I love White Castle. It’s the only solid thing about Indiana,” Hart said. “And Long’s Bakery. Fire donuts. If not for those two things, psshh. Long’s Bakery? Donuts are top tier. Indiana? Bottom of the barrel.”  

Game 3 is at Indianapolis on May 10.

Games 1 (Monday) and 2 (Wednesday) are at MSG.

As the 2024 NBA Playoffs continue, the Indiana Pacers (6) and the New York Knicks (2) are set to reignite their rivalry in the Eastern Conference semifinals.

The road to this anticipated rematch was paved with nail-biting Game 5 showdowns, but both teams emerged victorious. Tom Thibodeau’s defensive-minded Knicks face the daunting task of containing the Pacers’ high-octane offense, known for its relentless pace and sharpshooting prowess.

All eyes are on the battle of the point guards: Jalen Brunson of the Knicks and Tyrese Haliburton of the Pacers, former All-Star teammates. Brunson has risen to the occasion amidst the challenges posed by injuries to key teammates. Haliburton’s playmaking has been the driving force behind the Pacers’ offense, leading the league in assists.

For the Knicks, the return of OG Anunoby adds a new dimension to their lineup, as he gears up to face his former teammate Pascal Siakam. Meanwhile, Pacers’ veteran Myles Turner brings a wealth of playoff experience to the forefront, poised to make his mark after advancing past the first round for the first time in his career.

With a trip to the conference finals hanging in the balance, the outcome of this matchup could very well define the series.
