Go Big Or Go Home
Sometimes, the game simply boils down to tenacity and resilience. Mental toughness under duress. The Pacers have a quality that our beloved Knicks displayed during an enjoyable 54-28 season. The difference was their ability to assert their will on the game. In rerospect, with the Miami series as a prism, the Pacers took our best shot and diverted us from what we do best, by imposing a dominant physical presence.
three things
1. Indiana has a curious mix of size and understated swag, if there is such a thing
2. Paul George is a calm superstar. He hit some pivotal shots. His dunk last night was majestic.
3. Tyson Chandler was absolutely, positively 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.
