Woodson: Copeland will get early and more minutes tonight. #Knicks

Stick with the zone, stop switching on every screen, box out in the paint for rebounds, run actual plays and for god sake someone other than Melo and Felton score some damn points! :evil:

Right now, Pacers laughing because they already blew out a ATL that runs a similar offensive iso scheme as the Knicks - sad that Woodson has not tried to move the ball more and adjust to their defense. Penetrate and kick out to the open man or set some pick and rolls or pick and pops.

Woodson said he hasn't decided which way he'll start yet.

I assumed ticket prices would have dropped tremendously for this game. Thought wrong. Guess there still is a lot of die hard fans out there.

Lowest I saw yesterday was $110. That was probably the floor. Game 7 tix will skyrocket, though

Woody needs to trust his bench. And I don't mean Earl... Our bench has been key for us all year long. I smell a "Chris Copeland" chant from the faithful tonight

It suck they schedule the Rangers and Knicks on the same nights.

Cope drops 23 tonight. Goes on a complete tear breaking out as a top 50 all time NBA player in front of our eyes. Knicks in 7. Tears his ACL game 1 against the heat. Amare gets caught in a propeller off his yacht. Melo's shoulder falls out game 2. Knicks lose in 3 because of forfeit.

I listen to these quotes and I think about how much better Vogel has his team prepared than Woodson...

http://www.nypost.com/p/sports/more_spo ... e%20Sports

“All you have to do is look at their offensive production this year to see how explosive they are,” Vogel said of the Knicks. “They’re never out of a game. They’re never out of a series. We know how tenacious they are defensively. We have a great deal of respect for what they bring to the table.”

“We haven’t won anything. We have to be perfect. They play extremely well at home so we’re going to have our hands fill. They are an explosive team when they’re at home,” said Pacers center Roy Hibbert, whose interior defense has made a huge impact on the series.

“We’re not really looking at what’s next or the conference finals or anything like that. We know New York is such an explosive team, such a tenacious team that we’re not in any shape or form comfortable with what we’re doing,” Vogel said. “We know we need an extraordinary effort.”

You ever heard these kinds of platitudes toward the Pacers coming from the Knicks? I think that is one reason why we've dropped games in this series due to effort, because Woodson has not instilled the proper respect for their opponent that Vogel has for the Knicks. Tonights game is going to be extremely difficult.

If we continue to double team the post, we're gonna lose this game.

I'd rather have Hibbert and West take contested shots on post-ups and make just 2 points instead of kicking it out for wide open 3s all while the Knicks are running all over the floor like chickens with their head cut off trying to contest the shot.

carmelo115 · Post #298 » by **carmelo115** » Thu May 16, 2013 3:57 pm

Doubling the post also leads to our player being out of position not knowing who to box out.

Explosive : Indy :: Phenomenal : Amare

Good thing the time traveler hasn't made a prediction we'll come back from 3-1 to win the series. Then we'll know we're f*cked.
