That was painful watching, just a horrible game. Don't want to over react with a knee jerk reaction but before garbage time that was the worst display of basketball I think I have ever seen.
Indiana smothered the Knicks on D, but even reasonable looks missed and the Knicks didn't seem to give a **** about getting back on D themselves. There was zero prevention of penetration and we gave up whenever a Pacer got the ball on the perimeter and allowed one of the worst offensive teams statistically to get hot from everywhere. I really like Paul George, looks a great up and coming player. I don't know about his contract situation, and its a non-starter until we have some expiring contracts, but if he is a FA when we have cap space we should go after him.
Add in some flat out bone-headedness from Amar'e and JR, this game was a total write off. Only garbage time, but at least Copeland showed what he could do offensively, needs to wake up a bit on D and work on his general court awareness, but I definitely think he deserves some minutes in the rotation.
Time to wipe this one from memory and focus on Toronto on Friday. Need to kick start this second half of the season, if not playing like that our seeding for the playoffs will go through the floor.
