The Official Indiana Pacers vs New York Knicks Thread

And my fellow Knicks fans came at my neck when I said Roy is better than Chandler. Chandler is not a Top 5 center.

He never wasw and he never will be......people talk about blake and dunking thats all chandler does. He should send CP3 a check every month because dude was dead until CP3 started throwing him oops.
 
From ESPN:

Mike Woodson deserves credit/blame

Here we thought the Knicks had finally settled on an identity. The team that averaged 103.9 points over its last 18 games in the regular season and went 16-2 was the true version of the Knicks. It was, after all, similar to the Knicks team that started the season, knocking down 3s at a remarkable pace, sharing the ball enough that both Carmelo Anthony and J.R. Smith could get their numbers without bogging down the offense and taking advantage of a smallish lineup that featured Melo at the power forward spot and a pair, any pair, of point guards on the floor at once.

And for developing that, Woodson deserves plenty of praise. We weren't exactly sure how the oldest team in NBA history would be molded, but to be that regularly explosive was a genuine surprise.

But then came the postseason, and suddenly the Woodson Knicks were as unreliable as the Woodson Hawks were. Despite the success in the regular season, the Knicks weren't trusting enough in their own offense to rely on it, instead going to their default mode that includes a lot more isolation of Anthony and Smith.

And Woodson hasn't helped matters in this series. He has enabled the instability by making desperate and questionable lineup changes.

He went big to match the Pacers in Game 4, putting Kenyon Martin in the starting lienup and tossing the idea of starting two point guards, which worked so well for the Knicks all season. And in choosing his point guards, he stuck with the player who hasn't made a shot since April 23 (Jason Kidd) for 16 minutes ahead of more stable Pablo Prigioni.

When Woodson does go small, he doesn't fully commit to it, leaving shooters such as Chris Copeland and Steve Novak on the bench regularly. Isn't the idea of going small to make offense a priority? Well, apparently not for Woodson.
 
thank you lawd jesus...:dance2::dance::dance2::dance:

*wait...

we got another game

shit:hmm:

[The sound of applause filled the apartment complex where playahaitian called home. His drink had come through for him again. He didn't want to overuse it, so he felt torn about breaking it out for game 6. One thing was for sure, that pizza from earlier was not sitting right in his stomach. Pizza plus Remy equals a toilet remedy]

[Playahaitain runs to the bathroom]

Indy missed too many FT's

I do notice that Roy was going straight up but they were calling him for fouls for that tonite


:lol: :lol: :lol:
 
Seriously. Game six will be ugly as fuck but the Knicks should win. Maybe even a fight or two breaks out.

man i already said nyk will win this series a few pages back

indiana folded last year and they will again

and if joey crawford is out there sat. night like i expect him to be

its a wrap

:itsawrap::itsawrap::itsawrap::itsawrap::itsawrap:
 
I base it on the condition of George Hill... :yes:

If he has a concussion... He may be done for the series... :yes:

He's their best shooter and he's a good defender... :yes:

If he's out... I like our chances... :yes:

they can beat indy with or without Hill

dude isnt lebron james

the knicks simply needed someone to spread the floor

finally woodson's dumb ass woke up
 
You dudes proved you can't win in Indy

Good that y'all holding out hope

George hill will be back to roast Felton

Brotha Alex, I hope You are right! If they steal one Saturday, then they definitely got a good shot at taking the series!

Oh... I agree... we can beat them with or without Hill...

I just like our chances even more without him in the line up...

he'd be one less shooter we'd have to worry about on a team that doesn't shoot that well... :yes:

bro they will win Saturday and then its basically over!

bad coaching was what was killing us

finally that fool played nyk bball; the shit that won them 50+ games this year

you put a pure shooter on the floor with melo and jr and great shit happens

man indys offense has been pathetic this entire series but theyve dominated the glass

but we got something they need...shooters

when we spread the floor and play our offense, its tough to defend

they get stagnant on offense regardless of who is out there

hell our shooters really havent went ape shit yet and theyre due!

we got this!
 
Alex you expecting Joey Crawford to be the Knicks savior? Check the joeys record

You don't want him ref'ing next game

The home teams win percentage when Crawford ref is .625 while the away team record is .375

Indy winning next game is Crawford refs :lol:

Both teams shooting percentages are ass this series. Usually it's the one player you don't expect getting some points. Tonight it was Copeland. And before people say "I KNEW Copeland could do it." his scoring would be based on him getting playing time (which Woody wan't giving him.) He ain't doing SHIT on the bench.

Indiana shot 19-33 FT's. So the Knicks couldnt stop them from getting to the line.

I am assuming G Hill will be back.

JR and Melo still shot like ass tonight.

Indy homecooking gonna seal the deal
