Papabear Says
Until other Knicks step up and start making shots we have big problems. Everytime a Knick goes for a layup I crindge.

Not if Woody plays Cope and Novak. Gotta get more Knicks involved. Pacers haven't had to guard those guys and they aren't as locked in on our role players IMO. They're totally absorbed in stopping Melo.
Is Charles criticizing the Knicks because the crowd is into it enough?
Crowd seems pretty loud. Knicks seem energetic. They are still just shooting 37.5%. If the Knicks could shoot a normal percentage they'd be wrapping up the series.

the story will be that the pacers stifled us

I'm gonna have to agree with all 3 of them, kenny said we take to many tough shots instead of the extra pass, shaq said melo needs to have a jordan type game 44, 9 and 6..
I said it earlier that we need to have a big play to get the juices flowing..Like the shump put back..
were playing this half court 2 passes and shoot BS, the pacers have no offensive guys..we should be up by 15

I just dont think you can fault a team because of their crowd. Its the damn overpriced tickets that keeps most of the diehards out of the arena.
I agree with Kenny though. Our offense is jekyll and hyde. We see glimpses of the ball movement that got us here and then we'll revert to stagnation for seemingly no reason.
I dont really know what to say about Shaqs point. I dont see Melo having a Jordan type game.
Woody needs to run more PnR, Curl Plays and double Screens for our scorers. Melo can get more easy shots if we get George off of him with screens. Can't just watch Melo struggle against a quicker guy and double teams all game.

We are playing like a ymca team, best player shoots and forces while others watch.
We are better than this . Woodson needs to earn his keep with his team, by having a second half explosion with creative ball movement. I'm tired of relying only on Melo, they have to get everybody in the game early and Kidd should not play anymore in this series.

Their defense gets so much rest when we play like this.

Woody's screens don't free up a shooter, they free up the ball handler..

This was always my complaint about Woody. He's a very bad offensive coach. You can't have a coach that only does one thing well. Can't be like MDA and all offense or Woody and all defense. I'm sure there are some good plays in Woody's playbook, he needs to whip them out in the 2nd half.

It's subliminal messaging...
