    Lance Stephenson has been very impressive on the boards in the playoffs.

    JVG couldn't have said it any better.

    Happens in so many games - whenever a Knick gets called for a foul, they overreact.

    I'm surprised more techs haven't been called.

    good point by Van Gundy there re reaction to fouls. one of the things i love about the Pacers. they rarely whine to refs. Hibbert especially is tremendous in how he keeps his cool when he communicates with refs.

    Pacers are playing with so much poise and hustle. If they win, they definitely deserved it.

    Im loving this. Knicks fans getting so cocky after beating an aged beaten up Celtics team in 6. Now they gona lose against a real team

    81-65. DJ Augustine has been pathetic all year, especially in the post-season. Now he's playing like an all-star. On the other side, JR Smith is poison to the Knicks.

    I bet the Knicks will make a game of it. Pacers just need to keep scoring and not get stale.

    Psycho T is such a scrub on defense.

    Roy Hibbert is a game changer, wow I have no idea he can impact the game that way. Usually I didn't get to watch Pacers and just looked into the boxscore where his stats don't look too great. But as JVG said, he has become a GREAT defender.

    I want the Pacers to win. They can give the Heat some challenge. NY will simply be good TV.

    Knicks have the ability to go on a sudden scoring burst against any defense

    FIFY.

    Pacers have this one easily if they don't choke.

    No foul call makeup. PG24 and Melo both clearly were fouled

    It's amazing watching how different the refs treat Carmelo than how they treat Durant

    The discrepancy is even more apparent when watching WB and KD with the same refs.

    That was fun. Pacers are just a better team and if they play well, the Knicks won't beat them.

    This is true. Very good point. But WB has the same problem as Melo in that they both are incredibly irritating to refs and cause part of their own problem.

    Knicks didn't get HC treatment at all. If Pacers take game 2, they have a real great shot at meeting the Heat in the ECF.

    Uh, I mean, the winner of the Heat/Bulls matchup.
