we weren't playing at home and thus Jamal and Tim were in a fog.

Also, between Cato, Howard and Battie, their frontline dwarfed ours and destroyed the crap out of us. And Tim couldn't come close to guarding Grant.

Oh yeah, that's another thing I forgot to mention. The first play of the game, Tim Thomas got the ball in the post and looked like Shaq with Hill guarding him. The Knicks then decided that they did not want to embarass Grant Hill with the comeback and all, so they didn't give the ball to Tim Thomas again for the rest of the game.

I feel that way too. I think they came in shell shocked. The weren't doing anything right. The inside play of Cato, Howard and Battie wasn't as bad as the Knicks made it. They just didn't come to play.

Grant Hill was killing the Knicks....as usual.

Orlando is a tough match-up for the Knicks. Still if the Knicks would have attacked on offense and at least matched their energy they would have won easily. They are not a smart team. They do alot of one on one stuff.
