PREDICTION: KNICKS IN FIVE

The beauty for the Knicks is they aren’t just about Anthony and can win a series without him being super. Ask the Celtics.

Prediction: Knicks in 7

Begley's scout,

PREDICTION: Knicks in 6 or 7

Popper
The Knicks should get just enough of an edge – and the addition of Amar’e Stoudemire could help provide a little offense inside if he makes it back for limited minutes. KNICKS IN SEVEN.

I'll say Knicks in 7. If Melo's shoulder is bad and he shoots terribly, we probably won't win though. If it's bad and looks to contribute in other ways, we should be fine.

I was hoping that the series would start on Tuesday to give him a chance to heal. Hopefully he is ok. I think the time off before game 3 should help.

Not going to jinx it! It'll be a tough, physical series though, that's for sure.

I got Pacers in 6, I don't know if we can hold off the onslaught,

the problem with our team is that it can crumble like some cookies at any time,

pacers are not that good on the road, curiously, for a good defensive squad. if the knicks keep their composure-- a big question mark-- they will take the series in 6. if they lose their composure it's either team in seven with a slight edge for new york playing at home.
knicks win 38-43 games in 16-17. rose MUST shoot no more than 14 shots per game, defer to kp6 + melo, and have a usage rate of less than 25%

Pacers/Hawks is the only series that I didn't watch at least one game of. Some of the Knicks crumbling was because the Celtics have tremendous heart and character. I don't know if the Pacers have that to the extent that the Celtics do. They did play the Knicks tough in the regular season.

as a knicks fan, my brain is permanently scarred by the pacers,

we need to drop SERIOUS buckets in Game 1

This entire series is gonna be physical as hell. The Knicks really need to be ready for this. Guys are purposely gonna be pushing them around to try and rattle them. With that said, Knicks in 7.

looks like a lot of guys calling it for knicks in 7, which, to my mind, is the same as saying that you do not think we have it in us to blow the lid off the joint,

it's a vote of no-confidence when you tell me we will win in 7, it's just like saying that you do not think we will win!

That's true but you know what Crush? I always look for the good things and hope for the best.

Can we upset Indiana? Absolutely, and I hope we do.

What do you got?

I dont know if it would be an upset if we beat them. We're the higher seed.

But then again, I'm usually wrong.

Conventional wisdom says that it would not be an upset, but I feel it in my bones.

They're gonna try to hit us hard and throw us off our game. Indiana is a youthful, energetic team that is on the come up; Boston was a bag of bones and they almost pushed us to 7!

Honestly, Im very afraid of this.

Indiana's offense isn't scary at all but they play defense 100% of the time. They've battled with Miami in the postseason. That all being said, WE have the talent. It's up to us whether we show it or not. If we don't come out looking to brawl I think we get pushed around and we lose this series. But if they come out physical like I expect and our offense doesn't sputter through Melo and JR, we take this in 6 or 7.
