Just watched the highlights and Melo was that for sure scoring 15 in the 4th after KP6 went out of the game. It's a coaching failure that KP6/Melo aren't effective on the floor together, but I'll take the win just the same.
Just watch the highlights too .. the Melo n KP tandem on the court were awful and gave the Pacers their 13 pt lead plus help the Pacers keep the lead .. KP without Melo in the lineup had the Knicks playing winning ball and reverse Melo without KP in the lineup won the game ...it look like coach Horn cant get Melo n KP to mix it up together on offense nor defense.
Big Props go out to our 50% or better FG shooting rookie (HGM) Willie for man handling the paint for 16 rebounds, handing out 4 assist to teammates plus mixing well when tandem with Melo in the front-court then did well tandem with KP .. Willie gave us the performance we expected to receive from Joakim Noah each game.
I still believe we would have had a strong winning Knicks season if we had tandem Quinn n Willie to be our energy 2nd unit lineup with Jennings leading the point.
I'm glad we won the game, but, the TRUTH is we are coached to TANK the season, and beating the Pacers show the Knicks should've won their last 2 games, against the Nets and Pistons too.......ESPECIALLY the scrub Nets.....I mean REALLY!!!!!
