Knicks vs Pacers series thread

The Knicks are overrated trash. Never understood all this hype about them.

Funny seeing a Nets fan saying this, considering they lost as the favorite in round 1.

Congrats

A lot of people picked the Bulls to win, wasn't that big of a favorite. The Knicks will be exposed as an average team in a weak conference. They have no shot at winning the championship any time soon unless Lebron comes in a few years.

 

[Jims_Doors]

Doesn't matter who people picked or how big of favorites they were. The Nets were still the favorites with Home court advantage.

The Knicks may get exposed, but it's quite clear that NJ already has been since they're watching the Knicks play from home.

Don't know of a basketball team that plays in NJ, but being a favorite in a 4/5 series isn't that big a deal. The Knicks will be fishing after this round though because Melo is an overrated superstar.

I'm going to be broke if I lose these 2 bets tonight on this game.

I put 700 on Indy winning by at least 5 points and another 300 on the over 183.5 points

 

[bksballer89]

No way I'm getting the over lol.

Ugly Ugly game

 

[piss-tons]

Hopefully Indi still pulls out the win by 5 so I can get some of my vcash back.

 

[bksballer89]

Yeah I put a whole lot of money on Indy inning this by at least 5

 

[BOTSLAYER]

I tried to bet my FB picture with a buddy on Indy for the series, he won't bet me anymore though

Knicks fans told me that Chandler plays good defense

 

[bksballer89]

Paul George shot selection tonight been pretty poor to say the least

Knicks are trash and Melo will never lead a team to a championship title. The New York Knicks... always overhyped.

 

[True Lakers Fan]

You're getting ahead of yourselves - not that it is impossible, but neither team has proven anything other then some lucky wins up to now

Knicks fans have never seen defence on their own team so when one of them plays D, it's kind of a big deal.

Yes...no very poorly constructed I think is more accurate.

You're showing your age and ignorance. At least watch a team regularly before commenting. You only make yourself look stupid by doing so.

 

[bksballer89]

Why was Carmelo bringing up the ball so often?

LOL I am sure they played D before Melo got there, but only sporadically this post season. And yesterday was not good D on their part holding Indy to 82, that was a sloppy sloppy game the whole way.

Got to love Chandler taking shots at Melo in the media

 

[bksballer89]

"I watched the tape myself and there's open looks," Chandler said Sunday. "We have to be willing passers. You have to sacrifice yourself sometimes for the betterment of the team, for the betterment of your teammates. So when you drive in the paint, you draw, you kick it. We need to do a better job of allowing the game to dictate who takes the shots and not the individuals.
"I'm not saying that anybody is doing it maliciously. I think it's moreso a situation, you want to take over the game or you want to make a big shot, where you have to just stick to the game plan. Good teams win basketball games. Unless you're a great, great, great individual, and we've only had a few of those come through."
Chandler did not call out any of his teammates by name. But Anthony and J.R. Smith are the players who most frequently operate in isolation to create their own shot.
Anthony appeared a bit put off by Chandler's comments. However, before he addressed the issue with reporters, he insisted that the Knicks were on the "same page."

What he say? Link?
