But the Knicks didn't really play much differently in Game 5. Every point was a grind. No easy buckets. Also, I wasn't too happy with some of Shumps defense. It may be due to him being hurt, but he's trying harder to get foul calls then go underneath screens. He got burned multiple times on that. He needs to be better. We're getting killed inside and out. Chandler was a little more active last night be he still stinks. That foul at the end of the half and some of the boards he gave up exemplify him this season in a nutshell. It is beyond me how he was voted to any all defense team, much less the 1st team.

However, I'm hoping that this uneven win in a grind it out style is actually a good thing. We have a tendency to relax on the heels of a blowout win, such as the 2 games in Indiana after game 2. Hopefully the 2 losses and the hard win last night wakes them up a bit and they are able to grind out 2 more wins. Very proud of them that they didn't fold. I was afraid they might have.

Knicks can't count on Pacers losing at home because of pressure. They went up 2-0 vs Atlanta, then dropped 2 straight only to win the series in 6. Pacers are young but they aren't THAT young. West is a veteran and they took Miami to 6 tough games last year. They'll be ready. Knicks have to bring it. Last night was great, but I don't know if they can win multiple consecutive games like that. Eventually they have to break out into a great offensive game.

Looks like JR found his groove, and Tyson actually looked active tonight.

All hail Lindsey Lohan.

You are welcome.

Please put pics from Lindsey circa 2003 Mean Girls edition though, not the recent disease filled rodent crackhead version.

Could this possibly mean the official renaming of the Now Defunct Alba Threads?

It was just a humble suggestion. I think you're overreacting.
