Intensity key for Game 6

Knicks Blog | ESPN New York — As one veteran NBA scout put it, the Knicks brought a "different intensity level" to their Game 5 victory. It all started on defense in the first quarter when Tyson Chandler and Pablo Prigioni's defense led to early offense. "The key to the game was the Knicks got off to a great start," the scout said. "Everyone sacrificed and rebounded the ball. The defense was excellent." Throughout the game, the Knicks didn't let up their intensity. Big blocks from J.

Woody sticks with small-ball starting five

Knicks Blog | ESPN New York — INDIANAPOLIS -- Mike Woodson will go with a small-ball starting lineup in Game 6 -- the same lineup that he has played for most of the season. Raymond Felton and Pablo Prigioni will start in the backcourt alongside Iman Shumpert, Carmelo Anthony and Tyson Chandler. Woodson played a bigger lineup in Game 4 the last time the Knicks were in Indiana, replacing Prigioni with Kenyon Martin. It was a disaster, as the Knicks were outrebounded by 18 in an 11-point loss.

Win triggers confidence in Knicks camp

Knicks Blog | ESPN New York — The Knicks' win Thursday gave them more than just a chance to play another day -- it gave them confidence. "If any team can accomplish this, I feel like we can," Tyson Chandler said. The "this" Chandler was referring to is winning a series after trailing 3-1. Only eight teams in NBA history have rebounded from a 3-1 series deficit. The Knicks, of course, took a major step toward adding their name to the list with an 85-75 Game 5 win. They still have a long way to go to complete the comeback, however.

Things I've learned from the playoffs so far

Mavs Moneyball — Things I've learned from this playoffs: Once again, that that Mavs teams was special: You know, I was really rooting for the Knicks this year.

Smith to play the JET roll, Shump to play the Marion role and elite, elite scoring at the 4. Had more swagger and more head case than the Mavs, but so does your average disgruntled shoe salesman.

Knicks start K-Mart, move Pablo to bench

Knicks Blog | ESPN New York — INDIANAPOLIS -- After getting outrebounded in their two losses to Indiana, the Knicks will go with a bigger starting lineup in Game 4. Mike Woodson will start Raymond Felton and Iman Shumpert in the backcourt and Carmelo Anthony, Kenyon Martin and Tyson Chandler on the front line. Pablo Prigioni will now come off the bench.

But they have been outrebounded badly in two losses in this series, and that appears to be a more pressing concern for Woodson.

  • NBA awards are pretty stupid.
    Tyson Chandler had a dominant defensive season in 2011-2012. NBA media voted him Defensive Player of the Year. NBA coaches voted him to the second team all-defense. Tyson Chandler had a solid but relatively inferior-- with respect to his previous season and to his peers-- defensive season in 2012-2013. NBA media did not vote him anywhere near Defensive Player of the Year. Marc Gasol got that award. NBA coaches voted Chandler to first team all-defense (in a tie with Joakim Noah). Gasol got voted to the second team. Iman Shumpert got one vote. None of this matters because these awards ar...
  • Joakim Noah named to NBA All-Defensive First Team
    After finishing fourth in Defensive Player of the Year voting, Joakim Noah was named to the NBA All-Defensive First Team on Monday. Noah and Tyson Chandler both made it onto the First Team at the center position by virtue of a tie. This could be characterized as somewhat of a surprise considering the fact that Marc Gasol earned Defensive Player of the Year honors. But there are different voters for that award (media) and the All-Defensive Teams (coaches), which help explains why something like this happens. Gasol was named to the All-Defensive Second Team. Rounding out the First Team w...
