Pacers shooting 50% from the field. The Knicks have allowed a bad offensive team to shoot lights out again. And defense was supposed to be our breat and butter?
yes, we are an inexcusable joke rebounding ... and the whistles are insane ... but we're still in it ... so how bad are we playing??? amazing.

We all see it too. You are not the only watching the game, but that doesn't change the fact that the refs are making some of the worst calls against us. We are losing to the refs and pacers. IMO, that isn't a winning recipe.
Knicks need to toughen up and move their feet on D. They're a step slow and in particular they need to pay attention to Stephenson and not let him get a running start at them.
We have 16 fouls they have 8. We are getting outrebounded by 10.
Refs have little to do with this. Felton needs to do more. Tyson needs to rebound. JR needs to retire.
By the way...no one for Indy in foul trouble. I think we're done. This fucking sucks.

I am trying my hardest to look beyond these refs, but they are making so hard not too. I just don't understand why they are calling the game the way they are.
Paul george with the shove during the full court press.. Stephenson lowering his shoulder whenever he drives..
Yes the refs are calling it one-sided, but there are no excuses for the rebounding margin.
No one disagrees. Chandler and JR both aren't hustling. I think is also fair to say that Chandler is afraid of Hibbert like the guy is Chamberlain or something.

Well it's not exclusively one issue...Could that be possible???
both teams get bad calls, we just don't see it because we're watching it from knicks perspective, watch it as an indiana fan if you can for a quarter,
Did u see George took two step then fall to the floor, no call...Did u see the Melo foul on the three pointer...did u see Stevenson two drives where he lowered his shoulder and knock the defender out the way??..Amare getting hit in the mouth and the call on him...Care to share a few missed calls against Indy??
just gotta play felton-pablo-shump-melo-kmart the rest of the way. mix in a little cope when someone needs a rest.

+1 on Chandler. Dude sucks, bottom line. He brings nothing to the table -- I think he had one rebound (on one of his infamous back-taps), has offered ZERO rim protection and is not a scoring threat. Jesus, gimmie Ronny Turiaf right now for Pete's sake...And another thing -- the dude never shows any accountability...Nothing's ever his fault. This dude's a fake.
Whoever voted for this guy for DPOY last year and 1st team all defense this season needs to have their heads examined. What are they seeing exactly?!? I'm missing it.

1 foul on Hibbert. One!
holfresh wrote:Felton has to step up and Melo has to take over...No one else is here to play...Melo then gets killed for shooting too much
I agree. Felton could be the difference maker. He has the ability, but he doesn't use it all the time.
Knicks played a bad half which is normal for these playoffs, but they're only down 8 with all the help the Refs gave the Pacers. This is still a winnable game.

Barry is brutal. Even Burke is a world beater compared to him.

Winnable with a serviceable Chandler and JR. Those 2 things aren't happening.
I feel as though the NBA is in a hurry to start the next round. The officiating is obviously in favor of Pacers and it's not like the are playing harder than the Knicks.

You think? I think he's calling it like it is....Jumped all over Copeland's defense and even took Chandler to task...I think he's right on the money.

agree
kidd and stat should not see the floor ... chandler only if kmart gets in foul trouble ... jr can suck it on the bench
If Kidd or STAT gets any minutes our chances to win this game drops from slim to none. I am pretty close to adding JR to that list.
