I like that KP has become the focal point of the offense and already has 17 shots. We're seeing a lot more shots in the post, too! He's showing low post foot work I haven't seen before. He just needs to get stronger and learn how to take some better shots. Like the shift in the offense, though.

Yeah. We've been saying this for a while. It's starting to show more and more that KP is a 5 (he cannot defend modern day 4's in the NBA) and Melo can only play (defend) the 4 right now. With Lance in, we're not nearly as bad defensively. However, going forward, what do we do with Noah next year if Willy is going to be the backup 5 and KP the starter?

Terrible offensive foul call on Willy when Christmas was draped all over him and he was trying to get position. Also, KP had an And 1 continuation that they didn't give him earlier. Even when we're tanking, we don't get any calls.

This Pacers team is brutal to watch. Teague is a horrible player. I'm so glad the Knicks didn't trade for him last year and hope they don't go anywhere near him in free agency this summer.

I like how Melo is playing and being used in this game. This should be his role if he remains on the team going forward. Playing off the ball on the weak side and be a spot up strech 4 shooter and do other things. In this game, he already has 11 boards through 3 and has actually played decent defense. This is the Melo we need.

Oh crap! kp down with an injury. Can we please just shut him down for the season?

CrushAlot @ 3/14/2017 9:17 PM

Hopefully that is a deep bruise. KP has been durable.

Toughness on defense. Great passer in half court sets. Makes the right basketball plays. And he is a good shooter (has not shown it yet.) He's a perfect, cheap combo guard off the bench in our rotation. Won't ever hurt you.

How the heck are the Pacers the #6 seed? They look dismal this game as well as the last time we played them. No semblance of any offense at all. 13 points 15 minutes into the second half. As bad as the knicks are I'd rather have their lineup the the pacers. I like turner and PG-13 but they truly have nothing else after that.
