Pressure got to him, he didn't budge and try and outscore the Pacers. We need shooters in the game at least 3 on the court at all time.
JR needs to lay off Rhianna, take one for the team and hit a slump buster.

hahaha. You think Phil wants to come near this?
This was the game where Woody could really show what kind of coach he was. IMO he made all the wrong moves and really didn't have any answers. I got killed for speaking out about his coaching but now it's even more evident that he's not helping this team to get better when it counts. IN THE PLAYOFFS!!! That's really where a coach earns his money and shows his worth. If you have a good team anyone can get to the playoffs, but once you get there your coach is needed to put his team over the top. Woody barely got out of the 1st rd and so far he's done next to nothing in the 2nd rd. He's got another chance to step up, but I wonder if he even can.
What made us great in the season was our options when Kidd wasn't on he would throw in Pablo when smith wasn't on he could put in cope and he always would throw in Novak for a few cause his points can be game changer not to mention when we go cold shooting they can always kick start the offense. Why the change in the post season?
I have one of my worst days ever, come here to get cheered up and this is what I get.
Figures.
Why can't I just be a bandwagoner and root for a winner? My heart would ache less, no?
Life is tough and people are cold. Sports can cheer you up when your team shows up, so I remain down.

No they are better and younger and stronger than us. We have one scorer against 5.
Not true Papabear, we had the wrong guys in the game to open up the Pacers defense it's just as simple as that.

Well who do you think should have been in the game.

I don't know about all the wrong moves but I don't know why you bench Prigs and then give him no minutes. I was disappointed that he took Cope out after he hit that three also. There was no offense and a guy that can give it might have been getting hot. Not a good night for Woodson or the team in general. His loyalty to Kidd is pretty frustrating at this point.

Copeland for SCORING and Camby for boxing out and rebounding and Pablo for distributing the ball.
Camby has more bulk than all our front court players. He came to NY for a reason !
@FisolaNYDN: J.R. Smith: "I take the blame for this whole series."
At least he's owning up to it unlike Chandler

Phil needs a stacked team.

He can take the blame for extending unnecessarily the Boston series too.
Come to think of it, J.R. has only hurt us.
Nice way of showing your value, 6th Man of the Year.
Clown
The Knicks have been embarrassed this series and if anyone saw how we handled this team in Indiana during the regular season they would have saw it coming, Woodson never made any adjustments then and never made any now. He is an awful, awful coach that we are stuck with because our owner is a moron who listens to a an even bigger moron named Isiah.
Major changes are needed this offseason but we likely wont get any.

To me that's him being too down on himself. He has been showing a lack of confidence.
How many years left on Woody's contract?

His descent started in the Celtics series it's a hangover...but hey guys at least he won 6th Man Of The Year and he Changed.
They are showing the whole interview with JR on MSG. Man is down on himself.

I don't know. Better than idiot Woodson denying his awful plays and awful rotation, or Chandler talking about ball-movement or whatever.
I think the real problem is that Woodson plays his favorites and they don't match up well against the Pacers. No reason to play Shumpert low minutes "because he was 0/4" when JR looks as bad as he does. Or to play Kidd over Prigioni. Things like this just don't make any sense.
imagine how we could spread the floor with novak and copeland ... imagine what that would do to the pacers ... you have to make the other team react... instead woody tried to go big and match them, but we can't match them big for big, wtf man
