Knicks hot. Danny, Mike, Troy cold. That's about it.

36 for TJ couldn't make the difference.

Re: Pacers-Knicks Postgame: Et tu Baby Al?

Nice of us to get a road win - our next three games are the Lakers, Cleveland and Boston. I was afraid we might be caught looking ahead and lose to a substandard team.

Hate to tell you but your defense is worse than ours - and that's saying something. Wish I could have made the game.

Re: Pacers-Knicks Postgame: Et tu Baby Al?

Hard to see the Pacers playing so well last night but this cold today. Perimeter defense was a big problem, we couldn't stop their 3 pointers at all. Also, JOB shouldn't take Graham out when he got it going in the third. Tough loss...

Re: Pacers-Knicks Postgame: Et tu Baby Al?

Why was Jack playing Wilson Chandler? The 1-3-1 sucked with three guards in there.

Re: Pacers-Knicks Postgame: Et tu Baby Al?

I didn't go to the game tonight. That's why we lost.

In other news, both the Pacers and Hoosiers finish January at 10 games under .500. Yipee.

Not to mention the Colts lost their first playoff game (surprise surprise) and IU football had an abysmal (typical) year.

What a lousy few months its been for Indiana sports fans.

Re: Pacers-Knicks Postgame: Et tu Baby Al?

Bird and O'Brien need to sit down with Foster and have the Office Space style, "So what exactly is it that you do here?" until Foster starts screaming, "I'm a people person! I work well with PEOPLE!"
Cause honestly, I don't see what role he has on this team. His defense on Lee was just a freaking joke.

Knicks got incredibly hot from three, and we were really bad at starting quarters. We were always coming out slow.

Re: Pacers-Knicks Postgame: Et tu Baby Al?

Pitiful energy the first two and a half quarters. Awful defense. Could not control penetration/pick-n-roll. Rebounding suspect. No offensive boards whatsoever.

I like Graham and TJ in the second half offensively. Otherwise, we pretty much mailed this one in. The deal was sealed IMO when we came out of the half down twelve and proceeded to allow them to push it to nineteen. Just continued lethargy at that point.

Re: Pacers-Knicks Postgame: Et tu Baby Al?

Why did Danny play 37 minutes? Why did he play at all?

You'd think the Pacers would start to take sore knees seriously.

Well, at least the win made it worth it.

Wait a minute...

Re: Pacers-Knicks Postgame: Et tu Baby Al?

seems like a schedule loss - 4th game in 5 nights and 5 in 7. Only 14 deflections - just didn't have the energy needed to win the game

[BlueNGold]

Re: Pacers-Knicks Postgame: Et tu Baby Al?

One of the more important games of the season. We really needed that one.

But all is not lost. We went over .500 for January at 9-8! ...and February looks like a lighter schedule.

[Peck]

Re: Pacers-Knicks Postgame: Et tu Baby Al?

They shot 44% from behind the arc while takeing a ton of shots from there. Some of them were uncontested others had our defenders in thier face, it didn't seem to make much differance.

Between that and Murphy, Granger and Dunleavy all deciding to not be able to hit a shot on the same night we pretty much were out of this game sometime early in the 1st quarter.

Schedule, fatigue, injury's all played a part in this.

It's to bad because this is a game we kind of needed, however the loss is not the end of the world.

Roy looked like crap out there btw for the few min. he was in.

I hated the way T.J. played in the 4th, however I understand that it was the only thing we had going so I neither blame him or O'Brien for doing it. I am just saying I hate that type of play.

Just on a side note here, I hate the fact that I have to see so many NBA games where there are no true big men anymore. God in the 80's & 90's almost every team had several large players (obviously not all were good) but the fact that now we have played two teams in a row who use people 6'8" at the center spot makes me want to vomit.
