Knicks · KNICKS vs. Pacers 7:30 PM MSG: Keep Pace in that Playoff Hunt (page 1)

MSG3 @ 3/14/2012 10:07 PM
Another poor game thread should propel us to victory.

Lot of pressure on your head bro. Expecting +42.

Knicks were underachieving.

If we inject more post play we should be killing teams.

crzymdups @ 3/14/2012 10:43 PM
this would be a huge win. i'd love to see them sweep the pacers.

Very important to win the home game.

This is an important game...and will be more of a true measuring stick than the pathetic Portland game.

We know. You said that the first 100 times.

Have I mentioned that the Portland game might as well have been an exhibition game?

So Danny Granger said "We have 2 games against New York. 2 Very winable games". Hopefully this is all coming at a good time for the Knicks. Big win over a crap team, an upper echelon player calling them out before a home and home....Knicks need to show some pride and win these 2 games. AT LEAST win the home game....

agree... my big hope is that the Knicks finally have that killer instinct. Last night was the first time all season they didn't play to the level of their competition. Indy is a deep, young, talented team that should do well in a shortened season. this is a great test. And if the Knicks bring their A game, it might set off a win streak. The team needs to feel good about something

What I liked about last night's game was how they didn't let up on the Blazers, even after the lead exploded. That's the kind of attitude this team needs, the desire to put their boot on the neck of their opponent. This was just one game but I hope this will be the norm for the rest of the season. Not necessarily one blowout after another but the desire to put a hurt on the other team. We really haven't seen much of that as you pointed out.

Seems like Head Coach Frank Vogel took over the reins in Indiana last season under similiar circumstances:

Pacers lost 7 of 8 before O'Brien was canned, then assistant Frank Vogel took over and the Pacers made the playoffs, and have improved this year. Hope Woodson can have the same effect.

obviously I never played anything at this level, but the best teams I've been a part of took a tremendous amount of joy in steamrolling the opponent. the competition would turn from beating the opponent to who could be the most excellent among us. that was rare but when that happened it was a special season
