It doesn't look good. The Knicks are down 3-1. Let's face it, this is an awful position and one that only 8 teams in the history of the league have come back from. What the Knicks have to focus on is winning at home. They have to approach this like the first 4 games never happened. They need to win 1 game at home.
Prigioni and Shumpert need to play. Shump was not shooting well, but he has been one of our only great players this post season. No reason he should've been sitting for that long. Same with Prigs. But Woodson shat the bed in game 4 and went with JR, who has killed the Knicks in 2 straight post seasons. Whatever. Fine. That's over. Right now, we just need to play 1 game very well.
I believe we can win Game 6. I wouldn't be surprised if we didn't, but I still have faith that the team that rolled through April is closer to what we are then this garbage we've seen this series. Time to prove it.
YES, in de face!
(If the Rangers can come back against the Caps...)
Just win Thursday
I normally hate any reference to that activity that involves girdles and catfight wrestling on ice, but I will agree here...if the Rangers could do it, then so should we!!!
Who cares if all this playoff money is going to Dolan! He should get something to compensate for being dumb and ugly!

I've been positive about this team all season, but we're done. We look awful, And we look mentally defeated. I doubt we'll even win this home game. This has been one of the dullest playoff series I've seen- the games were too spaced out so there's been no momentum or excitement. I never thought we'd have a problem beating the Pacers but I was wrong- watching these games has just been depressing. Talk about not playing up to your potential...

While I agree with your sentiments, the spacing this week is a little better. The game is tomorrow and if we win isn't the next game on Friday? Could help us if we pull out the W at MSG (I agree it is unlikely but I am hoping).

Game 6 would be Saturday Night. Game 7 would be Monday Night.
Honestly though, while it pains me to admit it, I'm with Smackedog. I don't know how they muster the confidence to win another game.
Bocker, did you really just turn to Lindsey Lohan for good luck?
May god help us all.

The frustrating thing is that with DWade ailing, Rose resting and Westbrook out, this year was a golden opportunity- we're never going to have this kind of shot again. It's just so disappointing we couldn't capitalise on it.

She looks like JR the night before an afternoon game in that photo!
Spike and his get up is starting to get old. He is getting more famous for going to games than his movies.

I think the Spurs or OKC would be a lot of trouble for this team let alone getting past the heat. It was a good opportunity but we are a few pieces short.
A guy like Steph Curry would really help along with some low post presence. Unfortunately the Knicks have no draft luck and no post players.
We need scoring and a little unpredictability. Why Prigs for less than 4 minutes?, why no Cope during most of the playoff? Why no Camby? If he's injured...say so. Chandler doesn't score, all the defense has to do to him is limit his pic/roll options to neutralize him. Martin can only score in limited fashion. We have a starting unit that only has 1 actual scorer. Felton can give you 12 to 15 but not enough vision/awareness to make many assist opportunities. Yes we won during the season but the playoffs are always much tougher. Ball movement is the key....always will be.

Yep. It confused me that we go away from it so often too.
Woody better make adjustments to make at least 1 last stand.
All I know is Prigioni better get way more minutes than Kidd this game.
Also, Copeland better be out of Woodson's doghouse stat...
Hoping Prigs is back in the starting line up and flu is able to catch the ball if he receives it on the pick and roll or in the post.
Woody better make adjustments to make at least 1 last stand.Adjustments are overrated
Nothing to Lose Shift Du Jour
Prigioni
Shumpert
Carmelo
Kenyon Martin
Tyson Chandler
next
Sixth Man Ray Felton
Junior
Cope
Amare
