George scores 25 of his 27 in 2nd half, Pacers edge Knicks
We want to compete.
Regardless of the record, just losing, accepting that-it is hard to accept that. Jackson is no longer coaching, and observing practice is a great way for him to evaluate how Kurt Rambis is handling the blowout loss NY sustained the night before. The second-seeded Raptors, who are owed a likely lottery pick via NY due to a 2012 deal involving washout former No. 1 overall pick Andrea Bargnani, demolished the Knicks by 27 points at Dolan’s Madison Square Garden.
Losing appears to be taking a toll on many within the New York Knicks organization, and the frustration reportedly starts at the very top with owner James Dolan. “I mean, it’s an honor for me, man. I’ve been here, it felt like since the beginning, and just to have that, that’s big”.
“You can’t control that”, said Anthony said about the changes he experienced with the Knicks. Backup center Kyle O’Quinn scored a season-high 19 points, and was 2-for-2 from three-point range.
“We got a lot of support from the guys off the bench”, Rambis said. The Knicks cut that lead to seven early in the third before Toronto broke it open again, building a 20-point bulge later in the period.
The only intrigue from there was whether Fredette would play. Turner said he was surprised he took as many shots as he did. NY C Robin Lopez is averaging 23.5 points on 21-of-28 shooting in the last two games.3.
Raptors: Toronto is 9-1 against Atlantic Division foes….
There’s some value on the Pacers for tonight’s game given how much the Knicks are in disarray.
Reserve Langston Galloway scored 17 points. The Knicks fell to 0-9 when allowing opponents to shoot 50 percent from the field.
I think we got to take it upon ourselves individually, take the challenge as a group, have each other’s backs out there. “You can’t be satisfied with losing basketball games”. “So if there’s something that he could bring that’s a little bit better then he’ll get an opportunity”.
