Vogel's postgame comment:
"you put four 3 point shooters around Melo, they are tough to guard. You put 5? Impossible!"
uh ........ is that possible?

For real. I kinda wish Woody would take a hit and call them out in the post game.
Missed the game today. Watched the highlights - that's some ugly play by Indy. Is Melo going to be alright? The highlight thingy said left shoulder contusion.

Woody said Melos fine and that hes gonna rest some guys tomorrow and wednesday.
Somewhere, NYKMentality is smiling. He did tell us so, all along.
Didn't think we'd win this one- a very impressive win! Tough watching the Pacers try to bully us (especially Melo- his lack of blatant foul calls are ridiculous- most of them take place directly in front of an official!) without our front line there to bully back. No way K-Mart, Tyson, Kurt, Camby and Sheed would stand for that.
Felton with his timely 4th quarter hoops once again. Another thing I really liked seeing was Melo getting mad BUT in a good way- dunked and nailed a 3 pointer instead of getting ejected.

Unless King Solomon works his biblical magic, I'm not seeing how we win this one.

Real Talk.
Favorite part of the game was Melo being hacked RIGHT IN FRONT OF AN OFFICIAL (no call, of course), getting the ball back, and throwing it down for a ferocious dunk. Nice. Showed that we're not going to be intimidated by the Pacers physical play.
I'm really impressed by Copeland. He's become hugely valuable to this team. His consistent production is a big reason we're surviving the loss of our bigs.
Biggest difference in the game is that we held on to the ball while the Pacers did not, to the tune of 26 turnovers. Every time they'd make a run, they'd shoot themselves in the foot with another TO.
Not an exceptionally well-played game but I give the Knicks a ton of credit for this win over a big, physical Pacer team in which our only big was Solomon Jones.
