In New Yorks first game since the All-Star Break, Knicks Center Chris Mihm suffered an arm injury early in the second quarter. Chris Mihm would sit out the rest of the game. He finished playing only 7 minutes with 4 points and 4 rebounds.
This would leave the Knicks thin in the middle, and the Pistons would take advantage outrebounding the Knicks by 15.
Kevin Garnett would put up his usual MVP numbers. He 32 points, 13 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals, and 5 blocks in 40 minutes. Tracy McGrady finished with 23 points as well as 3 assits, a steal, and 3 blocks. Rashard Lewis added 21 points, a rebound, 3 assists, a steal, and 4 blocks. Croshere added 13 points coming off the bench alongside Vladamir Radmonovich's 9 points and 5 rebounds.

This was a good one. Both teams went at it with their best. The game was tight through in the final minutes of regulation and on into the two overtimes.

Kevin Garnett set a new career-high scoring 59 points as well as taking down 10 rebounds. In his debut in a Knick uniform, Baron Davis had a double-double scoring 20 points while, more importantly, dishing 10 assists. He also had 6 steals. He struggled from downtown connecting on only one of nine 3-pters. Gilbert Arenas, unfortunately, has yet to get comfortable with his new role struggling from the field while putting up 10 points.

For the Pacers, their backcourt tandem of Jason Williams and Jason Richardson had 36 and 31 respectively.

Knicks quicksanded.

Image
Baron Davis with the lay-in off the glass (pictured).

Like quicksand, the Knicks kept falling deeper and deeper. The Knicks started the first quarter down by 7, it got worse in the 2nd, and they were down 22 points after 3. The came the fourth, and the Knicks fought back. The Knicks turned it up and both ends outscoring the Warriors 38-18, but the lead was too deep and in the end they lost. 2 points or 22 points, a loss is a loss.

The Knicks struggled from the 3-pt line, going 4 of 32. You live by the 3, you die by the 3.. Kevin Garnett had another awesome shooting night in route to scoring 30. Baron Davis had 20. The other Knicks starters combined for just 23 points. Chris Mihm, who lost his starting role to Mehmet Okur, had 15 points and 13 rebounds.

Did I just see a 15 player trade? DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMN.
If only the Knicks had these players in real life.
With your team Knicks it must be easier to win than with mine right? Or maybe not because I play on All-Star since I suck at this game. :lol:

Anyway keep it up, try not to trade all these dudes away again, because you have a pretty nice team now. Though you had that before the trade too, and before the trade earlier too, etc. lol.

Only thing I you need to change... your sig. :wink:

Heh, I like to play around with my team. With an 82-game season, I get tried of playing with the same guys or some guys end up not being as good as I hope.

And I must suck too then, cause I played those games on All-Star. :(

I don't know what's wrong with the sliders though because I've been scoring a lot.
