He was driving to the hoop very often the 1st game as well, it's just that Hibbert fouled him almost every-time and didn't get the call.

honestly, i was also suspecting he got a shot too.

how long can that go on for?

Ive heard that the Pacers are a much better team at home than on the road though and they played us pretty well here.

Too bad we have a long layoff. I'd love bottle the energy this team had today on Defense!!!

The main reason why Indy won game 1 was because melo jr and tyson were all awful. It looks like tyson and melo are getting out of their funk at least. plus amare will hopefully add some scoring the the second unit

I completely forgot about Amare. He should actually help more than anything. All we need is JR to snap out of it and we're dangerous

Agreed. It will be tough but I think we can get one game. Pacers did what they were supposed to do, which is win one game on our home floor, we've got to return the favor.

The fact that we were able to close out the Boston series in Boston and our solid road record in general during the regular season is a good sign, I think.

misterearl @ 5/7/2013 9:33 PM
he said it

dk7th - The Knicks have had leadership, composure, and poise issues.

Really?

This team has bounced back all season. They may not always be pretty but they can take a punch and come off the mat like a champion.

Why stop now?

I'd prefer to get the heat honestly, Chicago is a nightmare matchup for the Knicks.
a 7 game series between the two wouldnt hurt though

Dude it won't matter if the Knicks play the kind of D they did today. Pacers are a good home team, but the Knicks really just have to bring high energy.

Dude, losing by 30 is NOT playing us well here.

Do you bother to watch the games?

I think they need the break. Melo isn't right. Tyson isn't right. Not sure about jr. Kidd needs rest. Also, ray didnt come back after twisting his ankle.

y2zipper @ 5/7/2013 9:38 PM
This was a good effort, but the response isn't complete. New York has to get a game in Indy. Move the ball, play defense and pressure the young Pacers.

I agree. I mean the hawks werent a really good team and in Game 1 we basically gave it to them and we still had a chance to win that. If we play like we did in the 4th and Jr can get his head together the Pacers wont be a problem

We should put the hammer down and bring it back 3-1, Knicks

Given Indiana's home record and the fact that they managed to steal one at MSG I'll be happy if we take it back 2-2, needless to say a 3-1 lead would be phenomenal, but highly unlikely.
I still expect the Knicks to win this series though (in 6 or 7)

Melo had a talk to his mama and said:
