And Chandler has fouled out. Only Melo, Shumpert, and Copeland have come to play. Lets hope it's enough

In the end Indiana deserved the victory. They played the better game and were the better team this series. Knicks will need to bring in some changes.

Disappointing game and series for Knicks. Really upsetting. They don't attack the rim and afraid to go even to the paint. The jump shots and 3 pointers can't win a game. And let's not talk about rebounds.

Carmelo had a good game but clearly lacked support. He reminds me of Shakib. A player far better than the rest of the team but just can't alone make the team win. And Woodson is maybe like Shane Jurgs. Good performance coz most players fired in reg season (JR smith, 6th man of the year)

After such a good regular season, it's heart breaking to go out this way.

That block on Melo's dunk attempt in the 4th Qtr defined everything. Miami series will be interesting. Had it was LeBron I wonder would he even try to attempt to block it? Clearly Indiana was the better team tonight. Slashing in the middle, rebounding ROTATING the ball (missed many yet, Knicks had to work hard on defense - which took their legs out in the 4th)

Some of the calls were iffy, yet there was several in the 4th the ref didn't call for Indiana.

Breaking News:

Heat swept the Pacers

Heat in 4. I got money on that. Knicks unlucky to not get game 7. Refs screwed that **** up.

Knicks are a team built to win by gunning away - how many teams have succeeded like that in the playoffs?

-Kono D khele na - or they don't know how to(Carmelo certainly doesn't - worst superstar defensively)
-No inside/interior game, Tyson Chandler ke kanna korai-a chaarse Hibbert
-options B and C just aren't very good.

Knicks good enough for the playoffs, but not much else. Ami bolbo not a disappointing ending, more par for course.

The only team gunning away and winning in recent times was Dallas. Dirk is 10 times better in playing the team game. A mismatch problem for all forwards yet can shoot lights out.

Amare not playing did them. Next year similar thing will happen because Indiana, Miami are going nowhere. Plus the Bulls will be scary strong. First series home court then gets knocked out.

Indiana will only get better next year when they get their best player Danny Granger back.

As for Tyson, I'm still hesitant to throw in the towel on him. He was the heart and soul of the Dallas team that won the Championship couple of years ago. He singlehandedly defended the paint night in and night out. Dallas has been a mediocre team ever since they let him go. Tyson was playing at a pretty decent level with the Knicks last year and this, until he injured his neck with few weeks left in the regular season. Ever since he's looked a totally different player. I have a feeling his neck injury is more serious than what people think and it's throwing his balance off. He's just toughing it out and we'll learn more about it soon. If he's able to make a full recovery during the off season he can't be considered past his prime at the age of 30.

J.R. is supposed to be the sixth man coming off the bench. Can't expect him to play like a superstar every night.

For me Amare is the big concern. He's had so many surgeries on his back, knees and even eye, not sure any team would be willing to take him for half the 20 million he'll be making next year. Offensively he's alright, but he won't get better defensively at this stage of his career. And his biggest concern is staying healthy.

Knicks are developing some good young players, but not sure why they signed a bunch of 40 year olds to 2-3 year contracts, which will be hard to discard. These should've been only 1 year contracts.

Bottom line is the Knicks will have to reload. This team needs more pieces in order to make a run. 1st step is to get rid of JR. The guy does more harm than good. Hope the older players also retire and we get new fresh bodies. I'd love for them to get another star player alongsides Melo but with Amare and Chandlers huge contracts, that'll be unlikely.
