Knicks · GAME THREAD: THE NIGHT MELO PUTS HIS LEGACY IN CEMENT--- EPIC SHOWDOWN INDY NEW YORK, NO YELLOW SHIRTS WE ARE NOT WEARING THEM (page 14)

if you play hard, if you actually show up for the game and play like you give half a fuck,

it doesn't matter what the refs call, because you have the superior talent,

the problem isn't the refs, although they might not be helping, the problem is that we just aren't there to begin with

oh you have to add jr at this point.. he should only see the floor if shump fouls out

I agree. Felton could be the difference maker. He has the ability, but he doesn't use it all the time.

He's thinking too much about their bigs down low and not taking it strong. Disappointed in Ray this whole series.

Winnable with a serviceable Chandler and JR. Those 2 things aren't happening.

It's entirely possible that if the Knicks refocus and come out with better execution they can win this game. The Pacers energy level is at 11, the Refs are helping them and they still haven't blown us out. We're within striking distance if we can get our defense on track.

That is a great point. Every guy I heard on espn radio or tv was pro pacers. Even Ian Begley who apparently really hates melo.

Only dude answering the bell....Thought he was great this 1st half...He's the only reason our raft is still afloat here..

Why is he going to call Paul and Howard.

don't look at the refs, look at tyson who is either stoned or flat out throwing the games, tyson's performance all series has been beyond terrible, he's literally half a step slow, all series, constantly, he's just not with it,

it's not the refs

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??

preach!

Ouch!!!

he's trying and i won't blame him for this loss or if he takes too many bad shots with jr and kidd on the floor.
