Knicks · KNICKS VS INDIANA GAME 2 @ MSG 7:00 PM: TIME TO PLAY KNICK BASKETBALL AND SHOW THE PACERS HOW ITS DONE!! (page 1)

Game 1 is over, and while it sucked to take a loss on our home court, Game 2 is a new opportunity to pick it up and show the Pacers that the Knicks are for real.

The Pacers have size and they took us by surprise in Game 1. The Knicks need to come out with more intensity, step on the gas early and don't let up for all 4 quarters. We have the talent, we have the chemistry, we have tonight at MSG to get the Garden rocking and even this series up.

Go NY:

Nothing is over until we decide it is:

It's amazing how 1 game means so much - we win and everyone will be talking about the Knicks evening up the series and showing their toughness. We lose and the criticism will reach fever pitch.

We are not the only team in this situation - the Heat dropped game 1 too. We can win tonight, I have no doubt we are capable.

I do wonder what's going on with Melo's shoulder though. An injury there is no joke, I have been battling a shoulder injury since January and I can tell you that it names you in your sleep, when you move, and when you sit. Let's hope its just a little aggravated and nothing serious.

Beat these stinking Spacers! We have the living ghost of LJ!

Im pretty sure you don't get half the treatment he gets..

Listening to the talks from our players and woody, no adjustments, just pray melo and jr take better shots, which sucks IMO.

Can't have Tyson and kmart on the court together, that makes us a perimeter team.

can't keep a 2g lineup, that makes us a very small team

My suggestion

give cope more time at PF/C, he needs to bring west or hibert outside the paint

I hope Novak's playing

more shump less prigs

Simple game.

I went up and got absolutely hammered by two bigs; fell funny and knew immediately I was in trouble but I got up immediately and nailed both free throws, then I checked myself out and threw my sneaker across the gym

Today I wake up, downgraded it to a Grade 2 sprain; I'm probably for May 13 game.

Dropped 12 with 6 boards and 2 dimes in 2.5 quarters of action before injury.

Knicks gotta do like I does-- beat Indy.

I'm sure if you emailed them your story, it would inspire them...

Seriously though, glad it wasn't a grade 3 sprain- those look horrific with all the bruising. I had a grade 2 one once, it didn't hurt after a day or two but it took a lot longer than a week to heal. Good luck with the recovery!

I am typing e-mail to Coach Woody now,

thanks man.

Yea it ballooned last night when I took my shoe off, I thought I was a goner at that point,

but today I am walking with a slight limp but a lot better than I thought, we'll get through this, gang.

I'm loading up on advil, fish oil and coconut oil; coconut oil just because.

Last time they lost like that? 1995 against the Pacers - lost in 7.

I feel like Amare would be huge for us right now if he was ready to play (I know he isn't). To have a big with his size and scoring ability would negate some of the issues we are having. Although the matador D would probably cancel out anything he contributed.

Definitely been a pet peeve of mine this postseason. They're starting this chant in the first and second quarters...do you really think that's going to help the cause?!
Not to mention the entire building is coming off as whiny as our players sometimes, even if there is a legit bad call (and there have been).
