Knicks Knotes

Knicks Fall Flat Against Pacers, Score Season Low 76 Points

Final Score: Pacers 81, Knicks 76

Record: 23-12 (1st in Atlantic, 2nd Eastern Conference)
Streak: Lost 2

Well the other outcome happened. The Knicks came out flatter than a pancake.

The very ugly first half (33% from the field, only one 3-pter made - 34 points total) continued into the second half (33% from the field, three 3-pters made - 42 points total)

Just a brutal game to watch.

Post Game Knotes:

More often then not, defense will win out against offense. The Knicks average the most 3 pointers made per game, the Pacers have the league’s best defense against the three. The Pacer held the Knicks to just 4-20 from outside.
“Undisclosed foot injury” strikes again! Camby left the game after hurting his foot on a lay up
Copeland and Amar’e have absolutely no lateral quickness or defensive awareness.
If at any point you hear “Camby is carrying the offense,” you know its a bad game
Crazy Eyes Kurt Thomas was pretty key defensively during our third quarter run
Jason Kidd hasn’t really looked the same in a past few games.. what’s going on there?
For the defensive player of the year, Chandler doesn’t really play that great defense haha

Over/Under Game Results:

Copeland 15 Points: Under (8)
Stoudemire 20 Minutes: Over (22)
Stoudemire 17 Points: Under (9)
Hibbert 10 Points: Under (4)
George 22 Points: Over (24)

Glad to have Melo back tomorrow night.

KNOTEWORTHY KNICK OF THE GAME: JR Smith - no quit, kept coming at the Pacers, including a poster dunk of Ian Mahmimini which I posted earlier. He continues to make his allstar case - 25 points, 6 assists, 3 rebounds, 1 steal
