I agree. But some will blame other guys for not getting the ball to him in the right spots
Melo was cold, but he seemed disconnected with the team. Maybe he's hurt. His eyes just seemed to drift off of play a bunch there, when the other guys were looking to him to draw pressure and get some plays going.

You can't tell him that. He thinks he's a PG.

Yeah...They were hitting all their open shots..Said to myself that won't continue in the second half but it did...

Never ceases to amaze me how everyone always focuses on the offensive side of the ball....Our defense was horrible....

I think he encourages it more than he allows it.

Indiana has more talent and we are undersized. It shows. We overachieved all year.
we beat indiana without tyson and martin. It comes down to hustle. it wasnt there today except for felton and shump
Regular season is a different season. We also beat Miami 3 out 4 in the regular season.
Agreed. I was very worried about this matchup.....
I dont think the Pacers are that great. the Knicks didnt show up at all today and it was still a game in teh final minutes

Exactly. defense and hustle. How many times did we see knicks stare a loose balls

They are the offense.

They had a ton of open shots which wasn't supposed to happen. We struggled fighting over screens, and they caught us scrambling a bit. Seems like the game plan was to sag on the shooters and they made us pay....
Tysons a huge disappointment right now. I dont wanna give up on him but damn.
Look itd only Game 1. If we come back and win game 2 its a brannd new series so i wont get too down until iits 2-0
I blame Guns and Huge for not helping the comeback. Everyone else too.

WHen a poster goes game over by now we should know what to do.
Ok...You drew first blood..On to game two...Melo has to let the game come to him...Indy had way too many wide open shots...

The Pacers are not better than the Knicks, but if the Knicks dont' come out with intensity on D and execution on offense they will lose to the Pacers.

the good news is that he cant possibly play any worse than today. that was seriously one of the worst performances i've seen in a while
With 3 shoulder injuries in the last month I doubt we see melo have a good shooting game again until next year.

I agree this is a winnable series but today they didnt care it looked like. They cant always expect to turn it up in the second half it doesnt work in th playoffs against better competition
For the 259th time..Melo isn't a PF...West always kills him...Melo doesn't have good games when teams rough him up...
