This big lineup can't rebound, why have it? Felton, Prig, Novak or Cope, Melo, Chandler. Not so difficult Woodson If you are willing to play Amare who gives no defense or rebounding, why not Novak or Cope?
If we were going to lose, I would hope it was because of what we did all season. Instead we are going to lose by just acting stupid
How in the world did this team turn into, Melo please play defense, rebound, steal the ball, pass, dribble, and shoot.
The most frustrating part of this is that Melo is taking good shots, trying to draw fouls, playing defense, rebounding, and hitting the open man on double teams. He's doing everything right, nobody else on the Knicks is. Right now the Knicks have the best or second best player. The Pacers have the next 5-7 best players
Dan Devine @YourManDevine 1m NYK outscores opp. by 19.3 pts. per 100 poss. when Prigioni plays this postseason. Outscored by 4.1-per-100 when he sits. 3:26 of PT so far.
Chris Herring @HerringWSJ 36s RT @jphanned: Knicks are +58 with Prigs on the floor in the playoffs, -32 without.
Okay, let's run our offense Woodson. Prigs, Felton, Melo, Cope, Chandler. Let's use what got us here. We were never a great defensive team. We had low PPG because of our pace. If you adjust our pace, our defense wasn't great, we just thrived on: Not turning the ball over Hitting 3s Beating people with Melo at the 4. What have we don this game, probably only the 1st one
^^ JR has't been the same. The team hasn't been the same all playoffs. Rarely went to their offense that got them here
Okay Woodson, out of this timeout go Felton, PRig, Melo, Cope, Tyson. Prig can slow down Hill. Felton can be hidden on Stephenson. Melo can have space. You can have David West/Hansborough running around the perimeter to chase Cope, and Tyson check MAhimi since Hibert is out
