Yeah but Hibbert used and abused him on saturday.

I also loved the fact that Chandler was crying about the Knicks team rebounding when he only grabbed 5 in 30 minutes. Iman, Kidd, and K-Mart all grabbed more rebounds

"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."
Maybe if Chandler even had a glimpse of an offensive game which he could demand the ball, I would totally agree with him.

I did have to pick my jaw up off the ground when I saw him actually shoot the ball last game, plus made a layup after dribbling. Didn't know he could even dribble the fucking ball.

Melo is guilty of shooting too much at times, but definitely not last game when he only took 16 shots.

Starting on April 26th, over the Knicks last 7 postseason games Jason Kidd has played a total of 161 minutes (averaging 23 per game). In that time he's grabbed 30 rebounds, dished out 16 assists, had 5 steals, and even blocked 4 shots. But he's 0-14 from the field, and scored a total of zero points. After a lot of research, I think it's likely that's the longest scoreless streak (in terms of minutes) in NBA history, and I'm fairly certain Kidd is the only player to ever get a rebound and attempt a shot in 7 straight games without scoring.

Let me know if I'm crazy guys.

I put up 900 Vcash on Indy winning by at least 6 and another 500 on the game being under 188 points

I put 500 on the under as well. I think we'll see another low scoring game like game 3.

I am hoping for a Pacers victory in this series. Not only do I not really like the Knicks, but I strongly feel the Pacers have a better chance against the Heat.

Mike Woodson is a dumbass.

I don't understand why he continues to play Kidd instead of a guy like Copeland or Novak when they need a little offensive pop

Doubling every Pacer big men in the post is not a smart strategy

Is Indy killing them from the perimeter? I'm still at the office and not watching the game. I can see helping on West. Chandler should be able to handle Hibbert by himself though.

Well they're 3-8 from 3 but sad thing is they're also doubling Mahinmi which makes zero sense to me

I put 400 on each and it looks like I'm gonna cash in.
