You forgot three things1. Indiana Is Good
2. Paul George is a calm superstar and hit some big shots

The thing is they're actually executing at a HIGHER level whereas the Knicks played FAR below their expected level. You guys defending Woody are trying to make it seem like the Pacers are some kind of juggernaut just to protect Woodson! Vogel stuck to what they do best, but Woody didn't. He actually benched guys who help the Knicks do what they did best all year, which is spread the floor, drive kick, swing the ball and hit threes!!! When we actually went back to doing this the team played better, so that alone proves Woody screwed up the teams chances. We had shooting left on the bench and that made no sense. In a series that you didn't get blown out of a few made baskets could be all the difference.
3. Tyson Chandler was absolutely dominated by Hibbert. 2 points and 6 rebounds ain't gonna cut it.
4. George is going step for step with Lebron. The dap was a sign of ultimate respect. He would have abused Copeland with his feline quickness. Cope would have had to match him hoop for hoop, and play Gary Payton-like defense, which he does not. Somebody call an ambulance.
5. 6'5 Lance Stephenson is too crazy (and too big and fast) for Prigioni, Kidd or Felton to stay with. Crazy I tell you. He played the Knicks with the revenge mindset-fire of Ron Artest returning to The Garden. No one saw that coming. No one.
Crazy.
