New York Knicks Fans Get a Brief Reprieve: Eastern Conference Finals Delayed The New York Knicks are set to face off against their Eastern Conference opponent in the highly anticipated conference finals, but fans won't have to rush to catch the opening game just yet. According to the latest schedule, the series will begin no earlier than Sunday, giving the team and its supporters a full week to prepare and build excitement for the matchup. This delay could prove beneficial for the Knicks, who will have ample time to regroup and refocus after their grueling first-round series against the Atlanta Hawks. With the extra time, coach Tom Thibodeau and his staff can fine-tune their strategy and ensure their players are physically and mentally ready to take on their opponents in the conference finals.
The Knicks will have at least a full week before starting the Eastern Conference finals — the earliest that series will start is Sunday.
