Top 5 reasons for Knicks series loss at the hands of the Pacers
Tyson Chandler’s
absolute inability to match up with Roy Hibbert. Hibbert dominated from start to finish in
this series, whether it was on the boards or reeling Tyson Chandler into stupid
fouls. It looked almost as if Chandler
completely forgot how to box out at times, using strictly his upper body in an
attempt to shield Hibbert from the ball, this was to no avail.
Melo’s poor 4th
quarter performances. His 30-point
outbursts will be long forgotten due to his ineptitude in the late game. His critics will point to his lack of success
in the playoffs when he hangs them up, can you blame them?
J.R. Smith. Do I have to say anymore? Ice cold.
His days with the Knicks are over.
Will Knick fans miss him? Only
time will tell.
Mike Woodson’s lack of
adjustment. I didn’t like the way the
Knicks attacked Hibbert/West at all. The
double teams freed up the likes of Lance Stephenson and D.J Augustin to get
hot. Those two played a huge role in the
game 1 and 6 wins. I think Woodson loses
his job before months end. I won’t be
able to make an opinion on that decision until a replacement is announced.
The better team
won. Simple and plain the Pacers were the better team. Knicks were outcoached
and outplayed from start to finish. I
have to admit I didn’t know much about Frank Vogel before this series; I left
game 6 VERY impressed. He has a bright
future.
