Things are looking fairly bleak for the New York Knicks right now.
After starting off their series against the Indiana Pacers with a bang and winning back-to-back games, the Knicks have come back down to earth and lost two in a row.
Their defeat on Sunday was especially concerning and now the Eastern Conference semifinals sit at 2-2 before heading back to New York.
Some people think the Knicks won’t rebound but Skip Bayless isn’t one of them.
On Monday’s “Undisputed,” Skip Bayless said he still thinks the Knicks will win this series in seven games, despite what others believe.

His co-host, Paul Pierce, said that the team is “cooked,” but Bayless thinks they still have what it takes to claim victory in this series.
If that is going to happen, they will need all of their stars to play much better.
For example, Jalen Brunson posted only 18 points in Game 4, shooting 6-of-17 from the field and a disappointing 0-of-5 from beyond the three-point line.
The rest of the starting five only scored single-digits, while Alec Burks led the team with his 20 points off the bench.
Everyone, especially Brunson, will have to step up in the next game to reclaim the lead in this series.
But the Pacers are heating up and played one of their best games in months on Sunday afternoon.
That is undeniably bad news for the Knicks.
The good news for Brunson and his team is that they are headed home for the next game.
They can get their momentum back and look dominant again, but it won’t be easy with the way these Pacers have been playing.
