I think in total we just have more assets and when we play tight defense(where was that in game 1??) they have very poor team ball handling and we should be able to continue to turn them over.

Agreed. I think we're too much for the Pacers. As bad as we played in Game 1 we could have still pulled it out. ECF here we come....

Loved JKidd forcing one of their guards into a walk in the first half. Nice play.

I'll sign on for 4 straight wins.

Prior to the series, I reckoned we'd take it in 5. Now I think it's going all the way.

I agree. This Pacers team would get embarrassed in the first round in the west.

It'll go 7. This Knicks team looks completly different when the shots aren't falling and everyone is going ISO hero ball. I wouldn't be suprised to see the series go either way.

I think the Knicks could win in 5 if Melo's shoulder is ok. Not sure what he did at halftime but he was rubbing his bad shoulder and slumping it after every lay up/dunk he attempted in the first half. I didn't see any of that in the second half. If the rest gets him right the Knicks should take this series in 5 or 6.

Those are my thoughts also. It's best of five now. They have the home court advantage. To win this series we will have to win one in Indiana and then follow that up with a game 5 win.

Epic jinx!

Wait until we see how the Pacers play at home- Paul George is a much better player there and they're a much tougher team than the are on the road.

Wow ... that's very bold. I'm thinking it's 50/50, maybe 55/45 that we win. And that's what I thought going into the series. I like this Indy team.

Generally, I'd put my money with rebounding and toughness over experience and skill, but I do think we have more talent -- and we have the only superstar in the series -- so I give us a slight edge.

So does the current model continue to win, or do we see the return of the Detroit Nobody's Win a Chip?

Can't wait for Saturday!

As long as we don't leave DJ Augustin open again we should be fine.

If we see Psycho Ben again, then you know it's safe to celebrate.

If JR can defunk, and Amare contributes anything without turning the dial down on our O or the current D, we have too many weapons and too much savvy for Frank Vogel's method of the one behemoth zone.

Set the tone Saturday. Beat them out of the gate again, and keep the foot on the throat right through Copes and Novak's garbage time threes at the end. And we don't need no steenking time outs!

Run it up Herman, leave no doubt!

The Knicks won in dominating fashion, largely based on 1 extremely hot quarter. I'll be more apt to talk about a short series after we're able to string two or three great quarters together. It would show that we're still better in spite of adjustments.

In the post-game interviews, Hibbert looked like he was ready for suicide watch and West didn't look much better.
They seemed sooo down on themselves as if they learned something from game 2 that did not bode well for them going forward.
Dejected, somber, and lethargic is the best way I could describe Hibbert's composure after the game.

Melo is due to go on one if his hot stretches again. So are the Knicks and there 3pt shooting. That happens and its a rap, if not then it will be a tough series.

+1 to this assessment. I think we win in six. Indy ain't no slouch, but they lack the diversity (i.e., Grainger out = 1 star scorer in George) to beat us at the scorers table. We need to keep up the D, but Indy will only get one more win.

We should win this 4-1 4 -2 at worst.
