No idea what we'll do this offseason- we could lose JR, Cope, Priggs and K-mart, plus looks like JKidd and Camby are done. Don't see how we improve.

Grunwald is gonna have a TOUGH off season.

He had a bad game tonight, but he was on of our best players in the playoffs. Keep the blame focused on Kidd, Tyson and JR- they gave us NOTHING this series

Paul George 3rd yr player is already playing in his ECF didn't take 7yrs to get there and he also played a heckuva series. Actually his first 4gms on Melo pretty much proved to be the difference in the series....The series was over a couple games ago.

They're young and aren't going anywhere for a while....

George was amazing. Pacers were competitive in the 2nd round last year. Teams generally evolve as they play together. Hopefully that happens for the Knicks.

Those were the quietest 39 points I've ever felt in my life. 2 points in the fourth quarter, and ZERO in crunchtime. DRAW A DAMN FOUL! SOMETHING.

That wasn't quiet at all...

Melo was the only reason they were in the game for the first 3 quarters. He was a beast.

First three quarters. Exactly.

Not for nothing ....If u want to start pointing fingers...I could probably find 14 guys to point to before I get to Melo..I mean really...

Actually the team was down by 12pts when Melo was sitting on the bench and Shumpert went Boston Celtic Game 5 mode and Copeland was being Copeland....then the game was tied....Knicks had momentum....Woodson puts Melo and the game changed....

Haha....So 35 in three qts and keeping the team in striking distance means nothing ???...Until Shump three 3s..Shump, Felton, Chandler was 3/18...So who was keeping the Knicks afloat???

He caught the ball before it go to the cylinder...are you really trying to debate that block being clean?

I never said he did not hit the bal before it was over the cylinder. The goaltending rules books don't have any exceptions to the cylinder part of the rule. The ball was over the cylinder at the same time hibberts hand was on it. Clear goaltending even though he had his hand on it before it got to the cylinder.

Man why don't you stop it!! If it wasn't for Melo we wouldn't have been able to stay close the first three quarters. This is the best we've been in 13 years. Don't blame Melo.

I get the feeling that some are satisfied as long as melo outscores the other teams star. Truthfully i thought melo was great tongiht but all i care about is winning. I dont care if melo scores 15 or 40 as long as we win. Again i dont blame melo because he did all he could but the pacers were simply better

There has been unconscious levels of HERO WORSHIP since trading for him.....He's a great "STREAK SCORER" and nothing else. Melo played good for 3qrts but did not have a good series and in order to win your star needs to be great pretty much every series. Melo didn't really have a good playoffs overall. You don't win games in 3qrts.

Just like the board made jokes about Durant's 4th qrt disappearance and miscues although he had an overall efficient series against Memphis....same goes for Melo tonight...

We needed some toughness from Melo and a lot of different things from him throughout the series. When they talked to him before the game tonight he said he'd do whatever it took to win and the first thing out of his mouth was the idea of dropping 60pts....<--------He just doesn't get it and never will.
