I'm no Knick fan, but I don't want to see games where teams struggle to hit 35-40 points at halftime. Ok, this is something I've been finding funny for a long time. Basketball is probably the only sport where people expect the pros to score more points in their games than the amateurs do in their games. Basically compare American football to basketball. College football is typically high scoring with most games having at least one team scoring 30+ points, but in the NFL most games are lucky to have a team score 28+ points let alone the combined score being over 28 points. College basketball is typically low scoring, usually around 60 points for both teams playing, some games breaking 70 or 80 points for a team, but a team scoring 90+ points isn't common. But go to the NBA and anything under 90 points for a team is a bad performance. Bwuh? It's because the people in charge of the NCAA refuse to make necessary changes, so playing slow and ignoring innovations in offense at the pro level is the norm. If there was a 24 second shot clock in college you'd see a huge increase in scoring. But they're almost as bad in the NCAA about pretending it's still 1940 as the MLB is, so don't hold your breath for that. |

This is going to be the most 'me' post ever, but I'm going to inexplicably defend Carmelo Anthony while also taking a potshot at the Miami Heat, so bear with me on this. I give Anthony a lot of credit for playing straight-up, not flopping or acting like he got a shot to the arm, or gawking around and begging for a call after Hibbert's clean block. If that exact same play happened to Dwyane Wade or LeBron James, you know for a fact that either they'd hit the ground like they were just hit by a wrecking ball, or whine to the refs, pout and gesticulate all the way down the court. |

I agree his post game speech was awesome...Finally a Knick I respect...but Reggie, Jalen, Mark, and ESPN A.D. had to be smiling after the Pacers weathered the storm of their bitter rivals |
