Ugh. i had high hopes for your team (especially after defeating Boston) but after tonight's performance? Ugh.

We looked so tired in the second half. Fatigue catches up at that point in a back-to-back and in the players' subconscious it's more preferrable to give up and go home and sleep than keep at it for anther 24 minutes.

Everyone disappeared in the 2nd, except Hansbrough. Unfortunately his injuries didn't allow him to play more, because he had the most to give.

We also should have taken Ford out and put Head in for the last 2 minutes. Head can at least shoot 3's, and I'd have preferred for Watson to handle PG duties.

I can't believe we blew that lead. You just can't do that.

I can't believe we blew that lead. You just can't do that.

Yep, I agree. That was a very poor last 15 minutes or so we put in.

I haven't been this disappointed about Pacers basketball in a long time. This was worse than all the heartbreaking losses we took last year. I don't know why, but I'm hurting as a Pacer fan a lot right now. Weird.

To those who think we don't need Dunleavy and Murphy, this game was a good example of why we need them to be healthy. They are smart veterans who understand how to hold onto a lead and not let an inferior team back in the game. It's easy for young players to not let up against a title contender like the Celtics, but against the Knicks, they thought they had it won and just quit playing basketball.
