The Knicks rely on the 3 ball too much. They get into a great flow then when they arent in rythmn they keep shooting them anyway instead of passing and taking it inside. If you remember last night, JR smith started going to the basket but it was too late, and add to the fact that he was the only one who was.
There have been two games this year where the refs have flat out screwed us, that Pacers game was one of them (i get it, harden just steps out of bounds from standing still without being shoved in the back), the other was new orleans (the one where their commentator was complaining about calls against us, lol). They're also not a team that is really a mismatch for us, the teams who play at high tempo but are just more athletic than us are where we get screwed, OKC and Denver come to mind, SAS if healthy as well (they're just plain better than us, lol), heck even the Mavs and Suns have screwed us by playing uptempo. As for that Washington game, Wall was out of this world in the first half, and they were just in front, but the refs were calling the pacers pokes and body checks almost every time, which is why there was something like 18 shooting fouls called against Indiana.
I think you care about the refs too much, tbh. Even the Pacers fans didn't blame them for the Washington loss. defensive energy hasn't been there for four games now except for a few short stretches. If they played this way all year, they would be a 30 win team.
