“[Tyson] was wide open,’’ Boeheim added. “He should have been looking for the ball right here. Kenyon Martin should have been looking for the ball. They both went like this [Boeheim dodged again]. Carmelo gets turnovers and the announcers aren’t smart enough to even think, ‘Well, the guy should try to catch the ball.’ “Tyson Chandler claims he never gets the ball,’’ Boeheim continued.” He doesn’t try to get the ball. He had two points and Hibbert had [21].’’ New York Post

Shumpert branded the Knicks season a failure after Saturday’s heartbreaking, second-round KO in Indiana. The Knicks’ young swingman could almost taste South Beach and a matchup against the Heat and now he can only go there to vacation. “I think we failed,’’ Shumpert said yesterday at the Knicks’ Tarrytown compound. “We failed to do what we were supposed to do. We know we were supposed to go farther and we didn’t. So it’s a fail.” New York Post

Asked where they needed to be for him to change his tune, Shumpert said, “At least to the Eastern Conference finals. I feel like we put ourselves in a position to do that, getting the second seed. It was set up for us to get to the Eastern Conference finals and then see what we could do from there.’’ New York Post

Steve Novak, admittedly disappointed Woodson ignored him in the Indiana series, candidly said the achievement of making it out of the first round for the first time since 2000 was a very minor step. "I think there’s been so many different feelings,'' Novak said during Trash-Bag Day. "People have said, ‘it’s the furthest the Knicks have been in so long.’ But for us, we weren’t really focused on getting further than the team had been in awhile. We really were focused on putting ourselves in a position to win a championship, and once the regular season ended, we felt like we were in a good spot." Sulia

Tyson Chandler said he had no clue what his buddy Jason Kidd will do regarding coming back next season. Kidd’s flameout in the playoffs could push him into retirement despite having two years and $6.2 million left on his Knicks pact. New York Post

“I don’t know,’’ said Chandler, his teammate in Dallas. “I don’t know where his mind is now. I think he’ll do his thing as far as allowing his mind to think and settle in. Right now everything is so emotional, fresh off this series. It’s hard to get that out of your mind. I think he’ll take some time with his family.’’ New York Post

Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim maintains little hope that former Syracuse star Carmelo Anthony can win an NBA title with the New York Knicks. "Not on that team," Boeheim said. "He did what he can do. He played very well the final game. Everybody's killing him but Tyson Chandler just didn't try to catch the ball. He threw him the ball and Tyson Chandler went like this (Boeheim dodged in a chair in his office in the Carmelo K. Anthony Center). He was wide open. He should have been looking for the ball right here. Kenyon Martin should have been looking for the ball. They both went like this (Boeheim dodged again). Carmelo gets turnovers and the announcers aren't smart enough to even think, 'Well, the guy should try to catch the ball.' " The Post-Standard
