Up late working on some Nets season wrap-up stuff that's going to start running on the blog Monday. Think you guys will enjoy it.

Here's the full piece I wrote about Lance Stephenson and Paul George praising Indiana assistant Brian Shaw: m.nypost.com/p/sports/nets/…

Absolutely terrific piece by @Matt Moore on the Knicks, Carmelo Anthony and how their system is unsustainable: cbsprt.co/1894GGT

And Danny Granger isn't Indy's best player, either. A very good player, but clear third behind Paul George and Roy Hibbert.

And he had a pretty rough couple years before this one, too. Pacers were patient and have been rewarded handsomely.

Also, please don't use the "why didn't the Knicks draft Stephenson" thing. Him being in a place like Indiana allowed this to happen.

Stephenson on Shaw: "He gives me the confidence in the game to knock down big shots.”

I should mention when I talked to Lance Stephenson, he credited his development this season to Brian Shaw. Nets expected to interview him.

And, finally, I wonder if Chris Copeland is this year's Gerald Green, a guy who signs a mini-MLE deal this summer and is quickly overpaid.

Sixth, I have no idea what J.R. Smith is going to get this summer. Will be awfully curious. But he did himself no favors with these playoffs

Fifth, I really hope Tyson Chandler was playing through injuries, because he was dreadful in this series. If not, huge issue for Knicks.

My dad wouldn't believe me when I said he wasn't. "He's really great!" my dad kept saying. Couldn't argue with him.

Fourth, my dad watched the game, never watches hoops. Late in 4th quarter, turns to me and says, "Is Stephenson their best player?"

Third, two centers were questioned for the contracts they got last summer: Brook Lopez and Roy Hibbert. Anyone questioning them now?

2nd, bizarre decisions from Woodson. Should've played Copeland more, and should've had JR sitting. He was horrible, especially defensively.

That said, couple of points about the game. First, Knicks fans complaining about refs are silly. The Knicks shot jumpers all game long.

I didn't have Internet access for the second half of the game. Reminded me how much I enjoy being on Twitter watching sports now.

" Carpe diem "

Spectacular block there by Roy Hibbert, sending Melo's dunk back directly in front of the rim. Exciting game.

#Knicks Shumpert had five points in 13 minutes. Then scores nine in 64 seconds

Just out of curiosity what is former #Knicks draft pick Andy Rautins doing right now? Lance Stephenson is leading #Pacers scoring if ya care

This double-teaming in the post by the Knicks is silly. They already can't rebound without doing that.

Referees have ruined the playoffs.

#Knicks are being outworked and outhustled. And yet they are within six. #Pacers have stunning 18-5 rebounding edge

#Pacers Lance Stephenson: 6 rebounds. Everybody wearing a #Knicks uniform: 4 rebounds

One other thing #Pacers do as well as anyone: miss free throws

Gotta admit, one thing #Pacers do better than anybody: fall down

#Knicks again having trouble on boards: #Pacers have 9-3 edge. Knix 1st reb was Smith grabbing 2d missed free throw by Stephenson at 7:45

Points I highlighted: close rebounding gap, make 3's, and get to the rim and FT line. So far Knicks are doing none of them.

Here's the story I wrote on how the Nets -- one of two teams to get more than one win in Indy -- did so: m.nypost.com/p/sports/nets/…

The Nets logo has never looked this good m.nydailynews.com/1.1347984?pmSl…

Okay for #Pacers v #Knicks over/under for fans to determine "These refs suck" is 5:29 of second quarter

#Pacers pres of basketball ops Donnie Walsh praising George Hill. Does a lot but mainly "on this team, he’s the glue,”

#Pacers George Hill has been cleared to play

jus wait ..ima get it instagram.com/p/Zd9iE2DV-I/

Gotta have one of these in this Vegas heat to stay cool!!!! instagram.com/p/Zd6mTpC8MT/

#Pacers George Hill still has other steps to complete per NBA concussion policy before clearance

#Pacers Frank Vogel on GHill : "Not ruled out not cleared to play. he's a game time decision"

#Pacers George Hill is game time decision. More tests today including shootaround

#Shoutout to my guys at @drinkgt always keeping me hydrated on and off the court!!!! instagram.com/p/ZbwX0uC8Mp/

Just posted a photo instagram.com/p/ZbwQOsC8MY/

#Pacers PGeorge on winning G6 in Indy: "Here is where we really want to end it & we don’t it could really be up for grabs going there."

For once, Matt Harvey Day may not turn into No-Decision Day

#Pacers George Hill will have more tests later today for concussion

#Pacers George Hill still officially day to day according to team

It's hard to see someone clearing the NBA's new concussion protocols in a three or four day period. A week seems like the earliest timeframe

I am not sure I would be ruling out George Hill for the season. Quite premature. Rest of this series? That's a legitimate question.

HAPPY G DAY ...to my babygirl .. my big homie ...my goonie goon .. she aggy but I love her to death… instagram.com/p/ZZjXTwDVwR/

David Beckham will retire from soccer, but his star won't stop until he's too old to take his shirt off soa.li/4O9biKH

so he's desert thirsty for the playoffs “@PeterBotte: J.R.: "I'm not worried about Instagram. I'm worried about the playoffs."”

J.R. Smith's response to Rihanna question: "I'm not worried about Instagram. I'm worried about the playoffs."

JR Smith: "I'm not worried about Instagram. I'm worried about the playoffs."

#Pacers Roy Hibbert apologizes to women in room then says "we played like pussies"

Tyson Chandler walking pretty gingerly in Knicks locker room. Clearly got banged up pretty good on that late fall.

Chandler is headed straight back to the locker room.

Chandler staying in the game.

Chandler is down. Looked like he might've hurt his tailbone on that fall. Hobbling off.

Looked like an awkward fall for Stephenson that last trip and now he's out of the game. Something to monitor moving forward.

Pacers still within shouting distance, but not sure they're capable of scoring another 10 points in this game, let alone making up 10.

I don't like the Knicks' strategy of doubling Hibbert normally, but hard to argue it against this lineup. He's the only threat out there.

Again, for all the things working against the Pacers, they still are only down 6 with the ball.

Looks like Raymond Felton got his foot/ankle stepped on after diving on the floor for that loose ball. Hobbled off the floor.

Yup, "These refs suck" for #Knicks v #Pacers. Biggest surprise? It took until 1:49 of third Q for fans to express that heartfelt sentiment

It's no coincidence that Raymond Felton has come alive in this game when he's primarily being guarded by DJ Augustin instead of George Hill.

The Pacers are shooting 37 percent from the field and 12-for-22 from the FT line, and still trail by just nine. Should be out of this game.

Imagine how good the Pacers would be if they had a bench?

#Knicks over limit at 6:21 of third. Normally real reason but #Pacers even with Geroge hitting 2 at 50% 10-of-20

That's an embarrassing call on Hibbert. Clean block. Now both centers have four fouls. Guess that makes it even?

#Knicks Tyson Chandler off the hook. #Pacers Sam Young wins award for "Dumbest Foul by a Human Being"

#Knicks strategy for second half: Hack-ANY-Pacer. #Pacers 8-of-15 at foul line

Pretty awful third foul there for Tyson Chandler. Can't make a mistake like that in the final seconds of the half.

If either team, #Knicks or #Pacers could shoot Miguel Cabrera's batting average, this game would be over.

So much for hometown love. #Pacers LStephenson of Brooklyn goes down hard, is hurt, Garden fans cheer

#Knicks shooting .321 -- and up 6 on #Pacers who are at .296

Couple of beautiful post moves for Carmelo inside against Paul George, but he's failed to convert the layup at the end each time.

Big stat: #Knicks who've been hammered on boards are equal 12-12 at 2:31 of first. Shumpert again leads with four. Knicks up five

#Knicks get a HUGE break on second foul on Hibbert. In Indiana, they're already chanting "These refs suck"

Two fouls on Hibbert. Big break for the Knicks. We'll see if they can take advantage.

At Knicks-Pacers tonight. Not surprisingly, in a game Scott Foster is officiating there have been three technicals handed out already.

French Montana ...got 1 with that "aint worried bout nothing" joint

#Pacers D.J. Augustin figured he was starting v #Knicks when "I got a text from the trainer when I woke up from my nap so I kind of knew"

#Pacers coach Frank Vogel sed he learned at 4 'clock George Hill was out w/concussion v #Knicks. Got it colliding w/TChandler in 1st 1/2 G4

Doc Rivers will be coaching the #Celtics next season, Danny Ainge told the Boston Globe. #Nets

Vogel says Stephenson and Ben Hansbrough will see time at backup PG. Personally will be surprised if Hansbrough plays at all.

Frank Vogel says Hill suffered the concussion on a collision with Tyson Chandler in the first half of Game 4.

No George Hill is a huge blow for the Pacers. He's an excellent defender and solid player overall - plus the dropoff to Augustin is dramatic

#Pacers had 4 different leading scorers in 4 games v #Knicks.RHibbert asked who leads 2nite: "Paul (George) I expect he’s having a big game"

I was assuming something nasty/raunchy since it was Rihanna. Turns out it's just profane.

For somebody familiar with Rihanna language, what is a "desert thirsty (dude)?"

Nets season tickets are available. How much more will you be paying? nba.com/nets/season-ti…

Blog post: Danny Ainge confirms Doc Rivers will be back in Boston next season: bit.ly/14tHWzh

#Pacers Paul George emphasized quick start v #Knicks in G5. Taking crowd out is "going to be key tonight, us controlling the environment"

#Pacers DWest on #Knicks going small: We’ve been guarding their small lineups,big lineups Doesn’t make a diffrence It’s about how we respond
