Quick was playing well and controlling us, but the Pacers have been over us all game long and as good teams do, the moment the opposition let the guard down, they attacked.

We are just a young team losing to a better one.

I disagree I think the pacers are garbage - sabonis

Without quick they were able to play all over us

They are well coached, they are scrappy and active on defense. Sabonis is a headache and they have shooters. Oladipo is there too. They aren’t garbage at all.

I don’t know, I think this game was totally winnable if quick didn’t get injured... again if sabonis is out they are garbage

It was winnable, depending on the Knicks keeping toe-to-toe with the Pacers, and they had done with a blazing three-point shooting that wasn’t sustainable. We did have a chance, but I think it was more complicated than losing Quick. We could never stop Sabonis or any of their penetration, which made imperative to answer every run constantly and our offense is prone for droughts because of our suspect shooting.

We got a perfect first half out of the team. They have lots of potential. But they are young and it’s expected for them to be up and down in their production.

Sabonis is a beast, Mitch and Noel really pissed tibs off to ride the pine for the end of the game .. it was evident our production went way down hill after quick went out. Our interior defense was awful in the second half, and they were able to pounce on defense knowing our pg couldn’t do jack. It was good coaching on there part to attack our weakness in the second half.

Def a winnable game with a pg that can spread the floor ... we would of had to keep knocking down our open looks and made more stops on the other end.

Regardless it’s gonna be a fun year watching the youth development.

We sat the rim protectors. I would love to know why. We got crushed in the paint in the 2nd half and crushed on the boards. Puzzling

We went small in the first half after 3 quick fouls on both Mitch and Noah and held the lead due to excellent shooting. To me the issue on D in the second half was that no one could stop McConnell at the point of attack which let him continually get to the paint and break our D. This was mainly on Payton IMO.

It's one thing to be a non shooter....But if Payton is also getting burned by an average guard, why is he starting? I would rather have Quickley and Jared Harper get burned on difference so they can learn.. I'm glad it's only 1 yr, but this signing is looking very suspect. With the makeup of the roster. Payton is a solid backup PG on a team full of shooters. Since we haven't addressed the shooting weakness of the team, might as well let these young PGs learn, and position ourselves for a high draft pick next year. Think about it....We played our best basketball in the first half, and that put us equal to a team playing half speed and their leading scorer only had a few points....It was a perfect storm.

Got to protect The Tank. Thibbs disguised it well

Foul trouble was their doom.
