terrible offensive possession for Boston Pierce waited too long to make a move (under 4 seconds) and then takes a difficult shot from just inside the arc You have to try to drive and create a shot there. Drive and go to the hoop or drive and kick.
Attention Mike Breen: You can't go for a 2 for 1 when you're inbounding with under 29 seconds left. That's just not how it works. To get a 2 for 1, you're going to need to be inbounding with a minimum of 34 seconds remaining, because shots take time and so does getting the ball up the court.
team gets so gassed during OT. Melo's style of play is just terrible for him in overtime. He was just gassed. Oh well I guess game 5 it is..
Missed the whole second half and overtime. From gamecast this looked like a good one. Oh well shut the door on wednesday
We showed courage and fight to finish this off, we really played poorly. We started doing ISO ball with Melo and that messed us up. We need to continue to play witht he extra pass especially when things get tough
I think the absence of JR really forced Melo go to ISO ball. We had no one else who could create their own shot.
You mean we had no one that Woodson stubbornly was willing to play. Copeland rotted on the bench today for no reason
Agreed - I was asking myself why he got no time. I thought he was going to be a big contributor today in the absence of Smith. If JR plays today, the NYK win todays game by 8. Oh well. Just have to beat the C's at home this Wednesday. Also, it is not a bad thing that we have another game to play. It seems like that ATL - IND series could potentially go 6 or 7 and the Knicks would have a serious break in between series.
Gotta close out Wednesday. If the Knicks put together a 4 quarter effort it won't even be close. I'm confident we do and good reward for the fans. If the Knicks win its considered a gentlemens sweep
Yeah. If we had JR, we win that game. That suspension is such a load of crap, he barely hit the guy, and he was just trying to defend against an aggressive defender. I can see giving a technical or even flagrant 1 for that, but flagrant 2 plus suspension is some straight up horseshit. You wonder why people bitch about conspiracies like the league being against the Knicks. This proved it. I wonder what kind of magic the Celtic will get to try to get them out of game 5?
and Melo shooting 10-35? Something like that. Felton was the only Knick that played well. In fact I think we only had 7 points off the bench? For many reasons...IF WE WIN..this is a blessing in disguise. The way Indy/atlanta is going, we would probably go almost 10 days without a game if we ended it Sunday. Get to beat Boston at MSG...very nice. Nice to see Boston go down and officially end their control over us. Just win though...just win. Let Indy and Atlanta keep beating the crap out of each other.
