damn,
Effort was there. They tried.
Respect Indy, they were the better team.
Not what we hoped for, but it was a good season.
Proud of which team the Pacers?
Rough way for it to end. The Knicks put up a fight, but ultimately a few bad plays here and there did us in. No ne would have anticipated Stephenson having the monster game he did...
The Knicks had their best season in over a decade. Hurts now, but we took some big steps forward after fumbling around .500 for the past few. Still have a young core. Maybe the Knicks learned some lessons from this experience.

Yes, the Pacers. /sarcasm
And the depresson sets in...........
Lmao surprisingly, I'm not that upset as I thought I would be. Adjustments need to be made in the offseason, but I think this helps us. Indy was a terrible match up for us, played to every weakness we had. Overall, we had a good season. Moving in the right direction. We achieved every goal but 1 (I wish like hell we would've won though).
At least we finally showed up these last two games. We desperately need to upgrade the backcourt somehow. We've got four guys, JR, Shump, Felton, Prigioni, that have major weaknesses and can't be relied on game in and game out and we have another guy, Kidd, who's obviously washed up. Upgrading the backcourt is the next, biggest step to becoming a title contender.
The refs fucked us but we can't do anything about that. I'm proud of the fight the team put up tonight but changes definitely need to be made. In an ideal world, we'd be able to get rid of Mike Woodson, JR Smith, Tyson Chandler and Jason Kidd this offseason. Big expectations were expected of them and they were no shows for most of the playoffs.
tyson can't be a part of this team going forward; the lack of effort and aggression he showed is embarrassing,
guy was playing a preseason game while everyone else was in the second round of the playoffs, or mostly everyone else, which is the other guy, jr fell off big time,
even if you argue that his off-court shannanigans didn't impact his play, you can't deny that they were a distraction at a time where the knicks needed to summon all their energy toward challenging miami for the conference,
GET THE PHUCK OFF MY TEAM TYSON CHANDLER!!!
Well done Knicks...that was a good fight...

Then he has the nerve to complain and get technical fouls.

Yep. The FT disparity all series was ridiculous and tonight utterly ridiculous. Hill got 4 free points in the last 2 minutes. THe "fouls" on Shump were horrible calls. KMart did not even touch Hill.
All that being said, you are right. NY can pay a lot less for a guy to play better then Chandler. The dude got schooled all series long.
JR, enjoy clubbing in Milwaukee.
Kidd, time to retire.
Felton, learn to shoot the teardrop all summer.
I don't see Woodson coaching this team to a championship, so he has to go too. Make the call to Phil. You have 2 years to win. That's it.
Oh and Not playing STAT at all in the 2nd half was dumb. He actually played Hibbert well.
I believe there's enough blame to go around...
Woodson
REFS
Camby and Rasheed's injuries
Tyson
JR
Melo's 4th quarter efficiency all series
But Indy was the better team, regardless if we won or loss.
They have a lot of two way players, and thats always been my recipe for a solid team.
We have too many 1 way players, and it killed our momentum throughout the series.

Can't hate Tyson for the Knicks giving him Starter money!
Don't hate the player, hate the game.
The problem is that we have a team full of solid roll players and bench performers.
Tyson is a better bench player, along with most of our starters. Unfortunately, get used to him.
He's not going anywhere!
JR Smith lost so much money in a matter fo 3 weeks
If Chandler stays on this team, I want him to learn from this series. He needs to learn what Hibbert is doing defensively.
I hope JR leaves this team for many reasons
- Ballhog
- Takes low percentage shots
- Not a reliable second option
- Does not know his priorities
- Saves us a roster spot( his brother)

How could he be semi-productive in the regular season and just vanish completely the last 2 playoffs?
What's up with that? You throw a slow 7 footer with a little weight in front of him and he just completely disappears.
