Saturday, May 18 Just when you think you've seen it all. 4 3-pointers by the Knicks. 72-72. Now it's a 15-minute game.
The Knicks are suddenly making jumpers, and they aren't being taken by Anthony. Quite a development.
The 3-pointers suddenly fall - Shumpert with 3 3's in 20 seconds and a J.R 3-pointer ties the game.
If you didn't know, Carmelo Anthony has scored almost every point for the Knicks in the 2nd half (11).
Carmelo is going to go for 50 tonight - and the Knicks aren't going to win anyway if no one else comes to play.
J.R. is going to check in and Melo has carried them. He needs his wingman to help him along. Melo with 29. Down 9.
Carmelo is going to need a little help. If he doesn't get it in the second half he better get it during the off-season.
Said earlier that this game was the type the Knicks could win. But not if you aren't getting stops. IND shooting 50%; Knicks are at just 35%
Lance Stephenson - all over the court, 16 pts, 8 rebounds. J.R. - outhustled repeatedly, 1-for-6.
Something that can't be forgotten about. Paul George made JR Smith's life a living hell in that 2nd quarter with his defense.
Knicks needed to play as hard as Pacers tonight. The Lance Stephenson-J.R. Smith intensity meter is veering so far one way it's turned to 11
Refs could not have called foul later than the last make by Lance. Timely call would've negated basket
Pacers win rebounding battle 25-15 in first half. INDs Stephenson with a 16 pts, 7 rebounds, 3 assists in that span.
Poor close to the half again, Lance Stephenson is a freight train and Daughtry and I have halftime now on @ESPNNY98_7FM.
Brooklyn's Lance Stephenson on way to killing his boyhood team's season. Has 16 points at half. Pacers up 55-47. #CouldabeenaKnick
J.R. has been awful - but Paul George just got away with tossing him into bench. If it's consolation to fans, refs are equally bad both ways
Tyson Chandler is lucky for JR, and Kidd, and anyone else who has been so bad that it'll get overlooked how bad he's been.
Referees downgrade Chandler foul from flagrant to regular hard playoff foul. As it should be.
When Lance was making bones on NYC inddor/outdoor courts, a lot of people (especially dad) thought he had what it took 2 become next LeBron
IND is more aggressive team? No; I think it's that NYKs running with aggressive doubling strategy that puts them way too far out of position
Flagrant foul on Tyson Chandler. Lance Stephenson hits the deck again but the kid from Brooklyn keeps attacking.
J.R. just spent the whole possession dribbling while Carmelo stood on the other side wide open. The whole time waving his arms.
biggest mistake by Vogel thus far. Sat Lance way too long. He's a scorer. He's gonna chuck when cold.
also, not a new thing, but this random double-teaming will be the death of this Knicks' team. Puts them out position on D & for rebounding.
Melo's stat line is good at this point. But he's taking some of the toughest shots I've seen him take all season this quarter.
Stoudemire and Kidd are out with 6;03 left in first half. Wonder if they are done for the evening.
Amar'e gets fouled on one end not called. Boxes out well. He's not the problem here. What are people watching?
J.R. is out of the game - and also sitting at end of the bench outside huddle. Money just pouring out of his negotiations for next year.
J.R. let Sam Young - yeah, Sam Young - outhustle him for loose ball, then blanked as Young just swooped in for follow. He's out now.
Pacers' scouting report must say to reach at Amare's dribble. He's making such a similar move every time and they've figured it out.
Woodson telling Stoudemire something after coughing it up on double-team in post. Probably look to pass out.
JR Smith is 1 of 6 from the floor. Knicks still behind 2 despite Smith & Tyson Chandler struggling.
Y'all shouldve seen how much Novak just enjoyed that Kenyon Martin play on defense. It was really quite amusing.
Mike Woodson showed something benching Kidd and Amar'e. He should show something by pulling JR after getting outhustled there.
Copeland and Stoudemire in to start 2nd quarter and Cope hits a 3-pointer off the bat. Guy has no fear.
Carmelo hit five straight after 0-for-3 start. Knicks down 29-27 after one. 27 is the most they've scored in a qtr here in the playoffs.
Potentially headed for a long night of people saying how the Knicks should've drafted Lance Stephenson.
If you're the Knicks, you can live with that 1Q. A high-scoring game would seem to favor them. Pacers would prefer to keep it in the 70s/80s
Saw the replay of Kenyon knockdown of Hibbert. Maybe refs need to see it too - really goes down too easy.
Is it just me or is the biggest adjustments the Knicks have made is having Carmelo Anthony run through multiple screens?
