The Knicks’ woeful start to Game 7 of their second-round series against the Pacers drew swift criticism from social media users, who wasted no time in assigning blame.

The Indiana team dominated the first half, shooting an impressive 76 percent from the court and taking a commanding 70-55 lead at halftime.

ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith received the label of being a “jinx” after he attended Sunday’s game at Madison Square Garden instead of being at the network’s studio.

Smith delivered an exciting pre-game report from the Garden, exclaiming, “The atmosphere is electric!” and “The Garden is packed with fans!”

According to Tim Bontemps of ESPN, the Pacers achieved the most impressive shooting half of any team in the NBA playoffs in the past 25 years.

In their impressive 130-109 victory, they concluded the game with a shooting percentage of 67.1 percent, which stands as the highest ever recorded in NBA postseason history.

One person on social media jokingly responded with “Jinx lol.”

Another person straightforwardly pointed out, “You cursed them.”

One more person confidently predicted, “This is why the Knicks are getting cooked and about to lose.”

Stephen A. Smith is the perfect candidate to endure the agony of witnessing the Knicks’ defeat in a crucial Game 7 at Madison Square Garden.
