Chandler had a good game too. Limited minutes but he scored well while he was in. He did his thing. And the tech he got was bullshit. The more I think about it, it has to be defense that fucked this game for the Knicks, I dont feel they played badly at all. Offensively at least.

Two consecutive sweeps? I think so.

Not really he didn't change anything.
94
104
Miami -9.5 - Miami still covered.
O/U was 186 - Even if it was 91-104 it is still the over.

have amare come off the bench and replace chandler. he did well in that position a few games ago
fuck his "star" status, he hasnt earned the right to start. even jr smith, on his bad days, perform better than amare on average. fuck what he thinks, he needs to come off the bench. woodson has no time to appease players if he really wants to win
If the Knicks win one more game this season they would have played the pacers who they could have beaten.

yeah, they shot 49% with MIA shooting 52%. just poor defense, easy misses, and missed FTs that fucked us up.
ah well. thursday it is. at least they showed some fight tonight
The "context" is that the Pacers are a young team with little playoff experience. They over achieved in the regular season. The Magic have guys who have won big time games recently. Yeah, the Pacers should win, but they have crazy expectations for an average team.
They aren't "terrible" when they get down early or "juggernauts" when they win. Just an average team trying to eek out tough wins and improve in the future.

Yep and with D-Rose going down... that's why I was laughing my ass off at the last 2 games of the regular season when the Knicks didn't tank. I was thinking in my head
"wait they want to play Miami?"
LOL I'm usually not for tanking, but I totally would have dropped those last two games since they already clinch playoffs.
Lolcats gonna lol
That's not gonna happen, as much sense as it might make. Plus with so much salary locked up in those two we can't improve in other areas.
Maybe once Deron ditches the Nets they'll be desperate for someone to sell tickets and we can dump him on them.
What did he say? Watching the Pacers still.
your troll-sword cuts deep. so deep.
Warriors also beat the Knicks

Missed it, what did he say?
But your team doesn't give us the latest in Jeffrey fashion trends.
Q-Rich doesn't get enough credit.
Not watching the other game. Why are Knicks fans elsewhere screaming for Melo to be traded? How did he suddenly not become their best player?
Yeah, I actually liked that Amar'e led Knicks pre-Melo. Maybe not the best, but fun to watch. Then they trade for Melo, and there's suddenly like a million fans everywhere, automatic contenders, etc.

It's terrible that they lost to THIS Orlando team considering how poor the Magic played in the regular season, how many advantages the Pacers have, and that Orlando are missing the (supposed) best C in the game today.
This might be a young Indy team, but it's not like they're coming up against the Celtics here. They should put away this Orlando team, and handily.
Don't forget to shout out the Hornets, Nets, Raptors (x2), & Cavs.

The Magic's first option so far this series is Glen Davis.
His nickname from many of the posters in this thread is the Useless Fat Fuck.
No team will get praise for beating the Magic, only criticism for losing especially when it comes with major choking.
