Knicks · Game Thread: New York Knicks vs. Indiana Pacers. 12:00 (Sunday). (page 1)
NYKMentality@ 11/17/2012 2:59 PM
Knicks: 6-1 overall (3-0 home record). vs. Pacers: 4-6 overall (1-5 away record).
Starters: C: Tyson Chandler vs Roy Hibbert. PF: Carmelo Anthony vs David West. SF: Ronnie Brewer vs Paul George. 2G: Jason Kidd vs Lance Stephenson. PG: Raymond Felton vs George Hill.
Bench: J.R Smith, Steve Novak, Pablo Prigioni, Rasheed Wallace, Kurt Thomas and Marcus Camby vs D.J. Augustin, Gerald Green, Tyler Hansbrough, Sam Young and Ian Mahinmi.
As a fan base, we'll have a chance to see how our team responds after a loss. I'm confident we'll respond. 6-1 overall. Playing in front of Madison Square Garden's faithful. Going for our best start since the 1993-1994 season (which was 7-1). Going up against an old school rival of the 90's? It doesn't get much better than this in regards to an afternoon (regular season) game on a Sunday.

Nice game thread perfect format including the game time. Knicks have an easy stretch of games. Cant take anyone lightly

Thanks. Just tried to keep it simple and to the point. Hopefully I can start off 1-0 while starting up a winning streak in regards to gameday threads. On a side note, is there any way we can change/switch the Pacers logo into a Knicks logo? I'm not over board, just a little superstitious. Heading into the game last night, for some reason, I couldn't stand the look of the Grizzlies logo. It bothered me. And now this Pacers logo? Just don't like the looks of it. Just bad vibes seeing their logo.

Knicks need to rebound from a tough loss. I look forward to this game.

Exactly. That's what I took away from last night's loss, which is to see how our team of 2012-2013 responds coming off a loss.
Speaking of rebounding after a loss, we also need to board off the glass much better, but then again, with Melo playing out of position getting beat off the boards is to be expected. Stoudemire isn't the greatest rebounder in the world, but he's mich better than Melo at the PF position. Once Amar'e returns, we'll become a much better team off the glass due to a trickling effect. Amar'e becomes an upgrade over Melo at the PF. Melo then slides down to his natural position of SF which is an upgrade of Brewer in regards to rebounding etc, etc.

i expect us to have a good game after the tough loss. Like Jason Kidd said if you cant limit yourself to one 2-3 game losing streak you are gonna be good

Yea adding the date and time is key. Like yesterday I had no idea the game wasn't until 9:30. I figured 8-8:30

Meh, I like the format that brings the womenz, but not bad for your first time.
mrKnickShot@ 11/17/2012 8:40 PM
I like this. Very informative.
Erniecat@ 11/17/2012 9:31 PM
I would expect us to come out fired up for this one, largely because it's the only home game in a seven-game stretch, and the crowd should be into it. Plus we come off a loss, so the team should be extra focused and determined not to start a losing streak. Should be interesting.
CrushAlot@ 11/17/2012 11:11 PM
I knew Lance was getting more time but didn't know he was starting. It should be a good game. I hate sunday day games.

Knicks are going to beat the Pacers like they stole something.
MaTT4281@ 11/17/2012 11:53 PM
Going to need to body up Hibbert from the get-go. Between the Grizzlies' bigs, and freaking Tiago Splitter going off on us, hopefully Woody utilizes our bigs.
AnubisADL@ 11/18/2012 12:22 AM
Indiana got spanked by the Bucks. Hibbert has been in a major slump.
Knicks will come out strong. Indiana isnt Memphis.

If there's one thing Ive learned from watching the Knicks its that teams break out of slumps against them. Someone from the Pacers is going to go off.
CashMoney@ 11/18/2012 11:14 AM
Pumped for the game. Can't wait to see how we rebound from the Memphis loss.

That was very much the case the last years, less so this year but it's only 7 games of course. Hope you're wrong. I think they'll win, Kidd/Rasheed won't allow complacency is my feeling. They have been all the way, they know what building team character means. I can see them put in a big effort

LOL....I remember those days living in AZ for 10 years. At least the late games are in your favor!
