Not so fast my friends!!!! I forgot about 95' when the Knicks came back from a similar situation against the same Pacers. We just need to win a game. Sounds simple but it's true. Then the Pacers will be feeling the heat. I hope the Garden is a madhouse tonight. It's Knicks Pride time.
Brutal stat for NYK: Roy Hibbert has twice as many offensive rebounds (22) in the series as Tyson Chandler has defensive rebounds (11).
GTFO!!
That said, we're going back to Prigs in the starting lineup which is good. Was stupid for Woodson to go against something we've been doing all year in playing Melo at the 4. Felton needs a good game. JR needs a good game. Guys need to make shots.
I think we need to play either Cope or Novak to help w floor spacing. The team needs to move the ball and defend solidly 1:1, no doubling.
If we do the above we'll be fine.

We lost that series in Game 7 but the comparison is similar. The Pacers took a 3-1 lead in the series and the Knicks won the next 2 forcing a game 7, unfortunately this wasn't one of the 8 Cinderella stories where a team was down 3-1 and won the series.Not so fast my friends!!!!

The boys are going have to shoot lights out from 3 to beat this Pacer team and play lock down D forcing mad turnovers to compensate for the rebounding advantage they have.
Yep we were within a Ewing fingeroll of coming all the way back. I had literally erased that one from my memory banks until I was reminded this morning. It's just good to be back in the conversation instead of on the outside looking in. The playoffs are a process....
