It’s a real hoops scream. Die-hard Knicks fans on Long Island who were psyched up for the hometown hoopsters in the NBA Eastern Conference Finals this week are being forced to stay home or shell out big bucks — thanks to the Long Island Rail Road strike that has grounded thousands. “You’re looking at a $1,500 night,” said Huntington Knicks superfan Julie Moss Silver, who told The Post she’s going to have to plunk down $350 for a car service just to get to MSG for the game.
