He played an important part in winning game 2. I don't know what Iman will bring yet with his injury. Play Amare do or die. Play the tape on how we blew them out in game 2. If JR is not making shots pull him out and if the Pacers are making a run don't take too long to call a time out and adjust.
We can win if we score the ball.
Me too actually. Bench Shump because of the shooting, bring him off the bench and start Novak at the 3 with Prigo and Felton. When the KNicks are great they are using spacing. Maybe that helps. At least you go down with your guys.
Novak flatout won games last year and that hasn't happened this year yet - maybe he's due?
as for what I'd tell Woody - why the **** are you letting Indy dictate the matchup? what are you thinking? there's no way in hell the Knicks are going to out bang the Pacers so why try to compete in that arena straight up? DICTATE THE PACE
