Reggie Miller to call Game 2 of Knicks-Pacers playoff series for TNT

NEW YORK — Notorious Knicks killer Reggie Miller is headed back to Madison Square Garden.

Miller will be part of TNT’s broadcast of Game 2 of the Knicks and Pacers’ second-round playoff series on Wednesday night, the network announced Monday.

Miller, who spent his entire Hall of Fame career with Indiana, is set to join Brian Anderson, Stan Van Gundy and Chris Haynes, who called Game 1 at the Garden on Monday.

“I’m sure I’ll hear the chants,” Miller said Monday on “The Dan Patrick Show,” promising his call will be down the middle. “I’m sure I’ll hear all those naughty words. I’m good with that, but I’m there to do a job, to call a game. … I will be surprised during the game if I don’t hear ‘Reggie sucks.’ Actually, I’ll be a little hurt.”

Miller spent Monday night in Denver to call Game 2 of the Nuggets-Timberwolves series. ESPN/ABC is set to broadcast Games 3 and 4 of the Knicks-Pacers series in Indiana.

The Miller-led Pacers faced the Knicks in six playoff series between 1993 and 2000, with the rivals splitting those meetings.

Memorable moments included Miller giving the “choke” gesture to Knicks superfan Spike Lee during Game 5 of the 1994 Eastern Conference finals, and Miller scoring eight points in 8.9 seconds toward the end of Game 1 of the 1995 Eastern Conference semifinals. Knicks guard John Starks famously head-butted Miller during their chippy matchup in Game 3 of the first round of the 1993 playoffs.

This year’s series marks a reunion for Knicks head coach Tom Thibodeau and Pacers head coach Rick Carlisle, who were assistants for their respective teams during their 1998, 1999 and 2000 playoff series.

“All the games were so big,” Thibodeau recalled Monday before Game 1. “They had great teams, and the league was a lot different then. … Great coaches, great players and fierce, fierce competition on every possession.”

Carlisle fondly remembers those showdowns, too.

“This is the ultimate venue to play a playoff series,” Carlisle said Monday of the Garden. “It’s as good as it gets.”
