As fans continue to get excited for the start of the NBA Playoffs, New York has sent a six-word message to its fans ahead of Game 1. In a social media post on X, the Knicks sent a message to hype up their fans for the series opener. They also shared a hype video along with the post.

The New York Knicks will open the 2025 NBA postseason with a first-round best-of-seven series against the resurgent Detroit Pistons. New York is aiming to win a first-round series for the third straight year, before potentially meeting the Boston Celtics in the Eastern Conference semifinals if it can advance.

New York beating Detroit had become something of an NBA certainty, with the Knicks doing it 16 straight times over a span of five years.
